Four of the students from the high school where I teach, High Mowing School in Wilton (none of whom will be eligible to vote this time 'round, unfortunately!) accompanied me to the honk-n-wave rush hour visibility event in Peterborough tonight. It was so gratifying to see these high school students so happily and energetically involved in the process.
A nearly ceaseless chorus of car horns accompanied our 90-minute stay at the Route 101/202 intersection. The people were really visibly and audibly FIRED UP for Barack! We had 10+ folks at the intersection until it got too dark to see Barack's royal blue signs (I LOVE that shade of blue --- now, more than ever!). Our sign collection was, as usual, mixed: homemade and professionally printed.
HRC's campaign had three supporters, all with printed, non-homemade signs only. They were marginalized to the edge of the intersection...they didn't seem to dare to even think about approaching us, as we had all four corners of the junction!
We even got a few truckers (normally pretty reticent with the appreciation) to sound their air horns for Barack as they barreled on through. AWESOME!!!
