  - Actress Jane Fonda, 81, canvassed door-to-door in Scranton, Pennsylvania on August 4 to speak to local voters in the swing state 
- She went door-knocking with Working America, a political non-union workers' group that canvasses to persuade voters to support labor-backed candidates
- Fonda said she canvassed because she's 'scared for our democracy' 
- She recounted speaking to dispirited Trump supporters who weren't well-educated on his policies  
- The actress says meeting voters face-to-face is the best way to educate them about political policy and help them make informed votes 
- Fonda says the only way to resolve the 'mess' in D.C. is to 'outsmart the Facebook algorithms and digital foreign meddling by holding face-to-face conversations' 
Actress Jane Fonda reveals she's 'scared for our democracy' and to raise political awareness for the upcoming election she rolled up her sleeves and went door-knocking in the swing state of Pennsylvania.  
Though she has two Oscars, four Golden Globes, and immeasurable accolades to her name, the 81-year-old returned to political activism earlier this month to canvass for Working America in a working class neighborhood in Scranton.  
There, she spoke to disgruntled voters who to open up about their political views, their concerns in the upcoming election, and to educated them about Trump's policies. 
'I’m scared. I’m scared for our democracy, for our ability to live together in community across lines of race, class and religion. I’m scared for my grandchildren and for the planet. The country is contorted and polarized, with the flames of hate fanned by leaders at the highest level,' she revealed in a Washington Post op-ed.
But she was surprised to realize just how powerful speaking face-to-face with voters can be.

    Who believes anything this lying Lefty has to say? That she escaped punishment for her treason is a blot on our nations honor.

    ten bucks says the doors she knocked on were very carefully screened...I expect everyone she talked with would be voting for the dim anyway. She changed no one's mind. A complete waste of time.

    One of the reasons I am an atheist is because this crone (among many others) hasn’t been struck down by lightning.

    The one overwhelming fact that explains the nuttiness—the bizarro-world character—of the criminal democrats and the impotent republicans is that it’s all based on an active occult structure.

    Yesterday afternoon, I ran into the daughter of a Marine aviator who served in Vietnam. She told me that is he ever found himself in the presence of Jane Fonda, he would have physically assaulted her.

    Re: Trump’s Health Care Plan
Someone please debunk this:
“and Sharon, a gung-ho Trump supporter who didn’t realize the president’s health-care bill would mean her son’s insurance would stop covering him due to his serious preexisting condition”
I want to take the truth and shut this lie down.

    Yes, they do. And it’s founded in witchcraft.
Saul Alinsky was just the tip of the iceberg.

    Actress Jane Fonda reveals she's 'scared for our democracy', In her heart she meant "scared of our democracy".
 I wonder if she arrived on an NVA anti-aircraft gun to provide a little more incentive to the potential voter.

    Too bad I don’t live in that area; but she can extend her coverage to Delaware. Home of Old Joe, king of the gaffes. She’ll be oh so welcome at my house.
She’ll find it real easy; it’s the one that says “Democrat-hating dog. Beware Liberals.”

    "I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope and pray on your knees that we would someday be communists. I am a socialist. I think that we should strive toward a socialist society - all the way to communism."--Jane Fonda 
 Hey, Jane, who would we pray to? Aren't Communists atheists?

    Donald J. Trump voters are the most intelligent and well informed voters out there. They know how to think for themselves.. They know a fraud when they see one.. They know the difference between right and wrong.. Discernment is their specialty.
