It
was great to get out of the office to do some signature-gathering along the Central Avenue Bridle Path in Phoenix for the
Recall Arpaio campaign . Today’s the last day. It’s amazing the
reactions that one gets from people. The
wife of a political activist stopped and took this picture. She said that she was sending it to her
husband to show him that he doesn’t do enough.
·
A 20-something young lady driving her brother’s
Mercedes-Benz got out of the car to sign.
·
A 40-something construction-worker from the
adjacent job-site walked over to sign.
·
Parents of high-school classmates of my #3 son,
out for their morning jogs, signed.
·
A nanny pushing a stroller signed, thanked me
for being there, and gave me a bottle of cold water
·
Our accountant, driving to work, pulled around
the corner and came up to the table to sign.
·
High-schoolers out for a run stopped and told me
how they wished that they were old enough to be registered voters so that they
could sign.
·
When I thought that I was all done, a man drove
up, signed, and asked me how long I’d be there so that he could go home to get
his wife so that she could sign. I said
that I was ready to leave, but I offered to follow him home. I did.
She did.
The bottom line: Nothing beats feet on the street. In three hours I brought in 45 of the
required 400,000 needed to make it happen. Doing the same thing that I was doing 56 years ago.
