We're Drafting a Good Guy to Replace a Bad Guy!

Harry Waisbren has started our first petition and is taking on the corrupt ex-Speaker of the NY State Assembly with his ‪#‎draftPaul‬ campaign!
If Paul accepts the burden of slogging it out with the corrupt Sheldon Silver, he'll get the backing of all his ShiftSpark supporters!
