The first week in June is the start of Petition Season for the political process. For those of you out of the political loop, petitions are used to collect signatures for the candidates each party would like to see on the ballot in November. Each candidate is required by law to obtain a certain number of signatures of registered voters in any given political party in order to qualify to be placed on the ballot with that party's endorsement. Hence the need for dedicated volunteers to go door to door in each neighborhood seeking out registered voters to sign the individual petitions of the candidates in order to obtain this qualification.
While most people who answer the door are very gracious there are always a few out there who are quite annoyed at being disturbed and are in fact down right rude to the walkers of these petitions. It is important to realize that without these volunteers who walk petitions the political process would be at a virtual standstill and those seeking office would have to walk every petition themselves...an impossibility for most offices.
Those of us who volunteer to walk petitions are giving up our down time and our weekends to insure that our liberties are protected and that all of our voices are heard. All any volunteer asks is merely a few minutes of your time to sign your name and put your address down lending your support to the chosen candidates for your political party.
We are your neighbors, mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers who approach your door. We are fellow Conservatives reaching out to other Conservatives within our community to bring forth the best of the best to represent us in all facets of government. Be gracious, be kind and be co-operative for these volunteers who are interrupting your day are the emissaries of our liberty.
