Hey Ted, you should be able to edit the original post of this thread and add in your poll. There is a button in the upper right hand corner of each of your own posts with which you can use to edit them.
Picture:

Once you are in the post creation/editing screen there are a few text fields at the bottom you can use to create the poll. They are next to the "Review and "Submit" buttons while you are reviewing your post.
To make the poll show up properly you will have to add your question ("Will you donate to this fundraiser?") and all of the possible answers (i.e. "yes" and "no") one by one with the "Add option" button before you submit the post itself.
Picture:

If you wish to add all of the target states in your post itself, copy and paste the following green text in for an organized list:
- Code: Select all
[list][*]CT
[*]IL
[*]MA
[*]MD
[*]NY
[*]NJ
[*]PA
[*]TX[/list]
I hope this helps!
