Approached outside the Public Library to sign a petition for 'No Labels Party'..

I was asked by a young woman if I would sign a petition to make it easier for an independent party candidate to get on the Tennesse ballot. Interested, I glanced at the petition, and saw 'No Labels Party' on the petition. I was startled. I said " No way!"
She asked why, and i said that I knew who the guy was running for President in that Party, and wanted nothing to do with him.
I'm a little mad at myself that I didn't spend a few minutes trying to talk her out of doing her petition duties.

I recall signing papers for Barry Goldwater as "Adam Baum"

If enough people do so, the petition is flushed.

perhaps it would be better to get her to explain why she thinks her candidate deserves to be on the ballot, and deserves to be President. Make HER defend it.
