Each petition has to be for either the County or City the voeter is registered in. So I cannot just have 11 petitions, one for each district.
Also each petition only takes 14 signatures. And I have to take the petitions to get them notorized on Monday, which is when I will make a bunch more.
So some of my petitions only had one voter, others were filled. They DO make it a painful process, tho they cut the total sigs required in half when Newt Gingrich and some other R didn't make the cut last time out....

the people need to understand that he is running in the Democratic primary and this is ONLY to get him on the ballot. They don't have to be for him, just for fairness in ballot access.

You can also check his website and facebook, but I will try to find that post for you. brb

OK, got it. It was a post by the late, great jackpine radical.

I've not tried printing any yet but there are a couple b&w sheets and then the tri-folds...all PDF formats.

This site is "unofficial" but is LOADED with stuff (but a bit of a jumble).

Select Downloads...Backgrounds and Issues, Forms and Tools (includes a great one page of the 12 Point Plan), and a toolkit...all PDF.

Also...

http://www.berniesandersvideo.com/agenda-for-america.html

If you scroll down, there are a bunch of one page info sheets...I just right clicked and picked Print Picture...I did a preview first to see which would come out as a full page...The BERNIE for President (1st one), The Sanders 12 Point Plan (4th down...the PDF is on the PDA site), Agenda for a New Progressive America (5th down)...all printed nicely to one page. Others took up just a portion of and 8.5 x 11 sheet but still full usable.

ACTUALLY, thank you for posting this...I've been wanting to see which of these would print and have just been lazy...I need flyers to give to neighbors and to my mail man...thanks for the butt kick!
