"A number of internationally known activists, including Noam Chomsky, have signed an online petition endorsing Heloisa, who is the candidate of a left wing coalition including her own party, the PSOL."

Was it really Noam? How can you tell with an online petition. Did Finian and Joan sign the online petution or did you contact them? Someone could post as Bertie. Hmmm, thats an idea.

"83. Bertie Ahern Fianna Fail "

There Bertie is now a supporter of the campaign.These online petitions are useless. You cannot trust them. I hope John and his variant of the Fourth International learns somethging from this.
