The gentlemen who questioned Mr. Berkey’s objection to the petitioner in front of Wal-Mart inadvertently misunderstood his letter or was trying to make his own point by suggesting that Mr. Berkey was paranoiac.

I was with Mr. Berkey my partner of 34 years, and we questioned only his tactics, not his constitutional rights. The manager of Wal-Mart said that the gentleman in question refused to give his name, or the agents who have paid him to collect signatures. I would think that any voter would need this information before he signed the petition.

What is the gentleman hiding? If his signature collecting is completely legitimate, why doesn’t he divulge the simple information any other petitioner gladly submits.

At no time did we say NO DON’T SIGN, please read the letter again. We merely suggested – be sure you know what you are signing.
