He just told me that in recent polling he&#8217;s ahead by two points in a four-way race to be held on May 24th.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s one road block, however. He needs 3500 signatures from voters in his district on a petition by Sunday. The 26th District Includes All of Genesee, Livingston and Wyoming Counties and parts of Erie, Monroe, Niagara and Orleans Counties. If you live in the district, won&#8217;t you <strong>PLEASE<\/strong> get your grubby hands on a petition <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bellaviaforny.com\/\">from his website<\/a>. If you don&#8217;t live in the 26th district, he can still <a href=\"https:\/\/co.clickandpledge.com\/sp\/d1\/default.aspx?wid=40920\">use your money<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I&#8217;m begging because for some reason, VoteVets just isn&#8217;t coming through for him&#8230;but they&#8217;ll support draft-dodger Harry Reid. Go figure.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m thinking about making a road trip this week to force my former homies to sign petitions. So if there&#8217;s anyone who wants to make a road trip and you have a wonderful boss like mine who&#8217;ll give us some short notice leave time to help a friend, we&#8217;ll coordinate. It&#8217;s worth missing the hippie convergence in DC. <\/p>\n<p>Nothing would make me prouder than to have New Yorkers elect Bellavia Congress. Andnothing would make me happier than to stick our collective finger in the collective eye of those fat GOPers in the 26th District. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our buddy, David Bellavia, has decided he&#8217;s going to make a run at the Congressional seat &hellip; <a title=\"Bellavia for New York; updates\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=22583\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Bellavia for New York; updates<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[122],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-veterans-in-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22583","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22583"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22583\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22583"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
