I sure am glad the Democratic party is treating all the candidates equally.

Albemarle County Virginia Democratic Committee sent this out to poll volunteers for this coming Tuesday.

As voters exit the polls, please ask them to sign the petition to get Hillary Clinton on the ballot for the 2016 Virginia Democratic Primary.


Background: In the state of Virginia, a Presidential candidate needs 5,000 signatures on a Petition of Qualified Voters in order to appear on the Virginia Primary Ballot. Among the 5,000: 200 signatures from each of the 11 Congressional Districts. We have until early December to collect those signatures. Supporters have been working their asses off for getting Bernie on the ballot here for months with little direction from the campaign at all. We have over 5,000 to date, but our goal is 10,000 total and 400 from each CD to account for any throw-away signatures/pages.

Now, this letter was sent out to the poll volunteers who will be manning the poll stations handing out sample ballots for people to vote in our local elections on 11/3. No mention of Sanders or O'Malley, just get Hillary on the ballot.

Sheesh!

They are really showing their true colors with this election.

And I do not like what I've been seeing.
