Your Voice

I started walking door-to-door in my district; it is the most old fashion way of campaigning. I have heard from many that this is the most effective way to meet voters but I have also talked to critics who say is an ineffective use of time? I am not sure who is right here; I guess we will find out in November. It’s time intensive and if I want to walk the entire district once it will take me nearly five months (thus the reason I started so soon). I already have a load of funny, interesting and intimidating stories about my experiences at people’s doors and when I started sharing some of them with my husband, he suggested I put them on the blog. Good idea.

So far, I am surprised at how many people simply say, “This is the year for a Democrat” or “it is time for a change” it is so interesting but people’s disenchantment with our president and Congress is far reaching. I have heard this many times from Republicans, Democrats and Independent voters. People are disturbed in a frightened kind of way. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues as I walk into different communities and different economic circles. I will let you know.
