Two nice ladies just knocked on my door.

I noticed they had Flaccavento t-shirts on. Before they said a word I told them not to worry about me. I am already planning on voting for him. Anthony Flaccavento (D) running against carpetbagger Trumpist Morgan Griffith (R) in VA 9th district.

They put a sign in my yard for me!

Good for you, and good for them placing the sign! n/t CaliforniaPeggy Sep 2018 #1
That makes three Flaccavento signs on my little street in this red region. None for Griffith so far. dameatball Sep 2018 #2
Did you ask them how they're being received in general? lunatica Sep 2018 #3

Where they talking about registering to vote too?

We did not discuss voter registration. Flaccavento is a great candidate, but it will still be an uphill battle. In the surrounding counties, Griffith got 60-70% in the last election. But I think many people are tired of him and he doesn't even technically live in the district.

Flaccavento is a well educated entrepreneur and a farmer as well. Appeals to many across the board. We shall see.

I will say this. If Dems can flip this seat, it is a bad sign for a lot of Republicans elsewhere.

and I am seeing Flaccovento signs all over. It's a big task here but I hope they kick out that n'er do well Griffith.

Tell all your friends. And when you finish with them, tell strangers. Lastly, when all those people are contacted, tell Trump supporters.

Which if you do the first two things right, you'll never have time left for the last.

Inspiring story. You are a wonderful example of one person doing all they can to the best of their ability.
