poltr1This past week, I've been getting daily emails from moveon.org asking me to sign up and volunteer at their Beavercreek office for a big push this weekend.
And i'm thinking, "Why bother?"
First, I don't live in Beavercreek. Beavercreek is in Greene County, a neighboring county which is "deep red". Lots of McCain/Palin supporters there. I'd be knocking on doors only to have them slammed in my face. Not my idea of a good way to spend my Saturday. Besides, I don't like political people knocking on my door.
Second, I'll be working as a pollworker on Tuesday. As far as I know, I need to remain impartial. I don't know if that extends to my political activities before November 4.
Third, there's no way I know of that I can express my feedback to the folks at moveon.org. I'd reply to one of their messages, but there's no guarantee that they read the email sent to the address they use to send out their notices.
So I'll just stay at home today, working on my homework that's due on Monday, and housework, and getting the backyard/patio ready for winter.
