That's a handful more than needed.


Edited to add the required number: 5,000

1. Ahem. You're welcome, folks.

Looks like we 'done all right'.

It actually WAS necessary to overkill the Sanders petitions since in a lot of CDs the convention delegates are listed on a separate petition. Needlessly byzatine rules designed, most likely, to protect the ever-corrupt NYS status quo.


Which, of course, is backing the opposition.

So you had to get people to sign TWO petitions in many CDs.

2. Thank you!

And you're welcome. My friend is on the ballot for delegate spot and he says the petitions circulated in state offices in Albany were overwhelmingly in Bernie's favor. I love New York!

3. At the moment..... so do I.

>>>I love New York!>>>>

But probably ONLY for the moment.

Fingers crossed for your friend.

And... I guess we'll be back on the streets pretty soon turnin' em out for April 19. ( Primary Day.)
