(10,602 posts)A few years ago my wife and I and many Democrats spent over 2 months fighting a recall petition drive on 80th & Wadsworth even when it snowed protesting these RW Nazis recalling our state senator. At one point I was out 8 straight hours with my signs virtually without a break. I lost count of how many days and how many hours we were out their.
I am prepared to do it again even though disabled now.
