Correcting a LIE that is going around (added link to a story)


UPDATE... here is a bad weather caused 1 person at the event story: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/12/martin-omalley-iowa-event-217193

Last week there was a Martin event scheduled in Iowa. Because driving conditions were so bad from snow and ice, an email and press release went out that the event was cancelled. Martin still went as scheduled. A few people that didn't know it was cancelled showed up.

Some photos of the empty hall were used to say Martin can't get a crowd. If you see it, now you know the rest of the story.

Anytime he is near me I'll go see him.

and now some people want to use that as a weapon against him? Well he is getting the Bernie treatment now. His poll numbers must be budging upwards.
