An excellent recent diary (Goodnewsroundup) credits and celebrates canvassing and postcarding in Erie PA. I’ve done both, but starting today I’m doing street performance, with sandwich board, waving flag, on busy streets and intersections.
Here in Nebraska, we’re hoping Dan Osborn and Tony Vargas can kick Senator Deb Fisher and Congressman Don Bacon to the curb. Check them out. Also hoping for one electoral vote from Omaha district.
Street theater has been a go-to preference, way back to anti-Vietnam protests, Obama, Bernie, Black Lives Matter, Occupy, etc. Natcheral for my show-offy style (makes up for basic shyness).
I made up as a dinosaur for a NYC gathering against fossil fuel (dinosaurs still rule, but now they’re fossil fuel!!). I went to Halloween event with green face and soccer-ball head-dress, calling myself “Exponential, the Goblin of Growth.”
Anyway, today was my first day out. I got a lot of thumbs-ups. One pretty young woman jumped out of her truck and brought me a coffee and muffin!! That was a highlight of the morning.
Carry on!!
