Gathering valid signatures is the burden of going forward.<br /><br />I had to gather fifteen signatures for my independent run for justice court judge in Mississippi. I had to get thirty signatures to get to fifteen valid ones. The circuit clerk checked the voter rolls immediately on presentment, and I learned a valuable lesson: get as many signatures as you can.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10854137162146125813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-60368697921779605742011-12-16T01:18:13.931-06:002011-12-16T01:18:13.931-06:00Althouse: the idea is that the GAB is failing to t...Althouse: <i>the idea is that the GAB is failing to take even minimal steps to deal with the problem of some people signing petitions more than once and this dilutes the influence of those who do not sign.</i><br /><br />Isn't it interesting how liberals always get hamstrung by the 14th Ammendment. <br /><br />I am now certain that, those pigs in Animal Farm?

Democrats want to spread misery equally. I don't have the foggiest what republicans want, but I do know that most people involved in business that I know want everyone to SUCCEED. That can't happen if everyone is trying to zoom their neighbor, like democrats and unions do.<br /><br />I'm fine with funding my own bennies and 'retirement'. And I'm definitely against recalls. <br /><br />Remember how 'divisive' your parents were when you were a teenager? They did know better. Governor Walker is in charge and his job is to get Wisconsin's finances in order. Advice to democrats; recalls can cut both ways.
