I also called FOX for what it is worth. Let them know it is disturbing that they continue to leave out facts in their reporting about the VA ballot access problem for Newt and Perry. Perhaps after they do get ballot access the truth will come out. I left my message including the following facts.
1. The VA ballot access rules were changed to require that the persons collecting the petitions must be VA residents/voters, which means Newt and Perry could not have volunteers from outside VA help collect petitions.
2. The VA ballot access rules were changed to require that 400 petitions had to be collected from EACH of the 11 VA districts.
3. The VA ballot access rules were changed to require that the petitions must be signed by REGISTERED VA voters, NOT just RESIDENTS of VA.
4. There has been little mention of the number of petitions Newt's campaign has turned in, but Rick Perry's campaign turned in about 11,900 petitions NOT 6,000 as has been reported in order to say his campaign was “NOT ORGANIZED like Ron Paul and Mitt Romney”.
5. The reason Ron Paul and Mitt Romney are already on the VA ballot is because they ran in the 2008 election NOT because they were “MORE ORGANIZED” than Newt or Perry.
I am pleased that Perry and Newt will challenge the VA changes in their ballot access rules. Newt and Perry should be allowed on the VA ballot if they have turned in the 10,000 required petitions signed by VA residents.
I called FNC comment line to inform them about the recent VA GOP Rule changes:

Thanks for calling FNC.....
Unfortunately, FNC is no longer ‘fair & balanced’ or informed. WE MUST INFORM FNC and make sure they report the facts on the VA Ballot changes. I am glad Perry acted so quickly in filing his lawsuit! And I pray that he wins his case!
