(34 posts)Ill go ahead and respond.
In my earlier post, I stated that I both vote and campaign for the democratic candidates here. I go and speak to the people around here, which is far more challenging to do than in a blue area. My approach is to speak to them in a respectful way, and explain how they and their familys lives would benefit under democratic leadership. The ideas that I present are not always well received, and Ive been called all of the usual names- but that comes with the territory.
Among those who live nearby, my political views are well known, but its also known that Im a good neighbor, and respectful of those around me.
I had signs for all the D candidates in my yard, and guess what- my house wasnt firebombed, my car wasnt vandalized, and I wasnt assaulted while working in the garden. I think that Im doing something right... sorry if you disagree, but Im not changing the way I live because some folks here dont like it.
