Met 3 folks near entrance to polling place in Hagerstown, MD; first, a friendly couple promoting John Delaney, Dem running for House seat of repug roscoe bartlett, and the real reason I made it out today.

Next person I saw/walked past was handing out literature about how to vote: NO is the repug word on education/in-state tuition for, as she put it, 'illegal immigrants.' I politely disagreed with her on that, said they are here due to arriving w parents AND I want young people in this country to be educated! Didn't let her get to 'gay marriage' issue.

Did ask if she was cold, when I departed, so as to encourage good feelings toward such as us!!!

Tuesday, will be doing voter protection in RED precinct in Virginia, so not expecting any 'agreeable' chat; will do my best!
