Nov 2016

When folks come to my door for canvassing purposes - I always point out the wing nuts that are lurking in the neighborhood. They don't always have signs advertising their politics but we all know who they are. I've got Dumpster A-holes right next door to me in our predominately liberal area of town. I've seen them yell people right off their porch. It is flat out disturbing. I'll steer anyone and everyone I can away from them. Least I can do.
