• 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.

Hanged or shot.

Either way, she earned that.

Another cobweb whore “actress” thinking she is still relevant.

[a fool in paradise]

did she tell these voters they’d fall to their knees and praise Communism if they only knew what it truly was?

[NFHale]

Did she actually FIRE that anti-aircraft gun, or just pose on it to turn her little commie buddies on?

[Vaduz]

Hollywood loved it when Obama&Co owned D.C. and everyone lost their a$$ wonder how many houses they scored on at dirt cheap prices.

>>How nice it must be to answer your doorbell and find this old POS on your porch /s

“some prankster has left a flamin’ bag of poo on my porch!”

[Robert A Cook PE]

Thank you for the graphic comparison. And derision.

[Georgia Girl 2]

She's a commie and she's afraid for the democracy. 😆

[Squantos]

Jane Fonda on my property ...... that’d go over like a fart in church.

[laweeks]

God, I’d love to have that traitorous piece of garbage knock on my door.

Fart in church? You'd have to sit in your own pew.

[ealgeone]

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

I wouldn't let what has or has not happened to others be the reason you reject God.

[Howie66]

From what I understand, she was posing. That and giving all kinds of Aid and Comfort to the Enemy.

Additionally, I have read reports that she was given a message on a scrap of paper by one of the POWs. The report continued to say that she turned over that note to her handlers and that they put a severe beating on the POW who dared to get a message out of that camp.

God, I’d love to have that traitorous piece of garbage knock on my door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’d love to have my door knock her out.

[NFHale]

“...iven a message on a scrap of paper by one of the POWs...”

Yes, I remember seeing thatstory too.

Would not surprise me at all. Definite treason candidate. And why she was never brought up on charges is a damned disgrace to the people who SHOULD have been doing there job.

[crusty old prospector]

Maybe God is giving her one final chance to repent and believe the Good News.

[Grampa Dave]

Is she a Penn. resident or a carpet bagger?

[Howie66]

We have a whole bunch of Subversives who deserve to become Tree Ornaments. Letting them off scot-free sends the wrong message. It’s time to set some examples.

[Grampa Dave]

My wife is a very non violent/retired nurse.

She might have kicked Jane’s butt based on the history of her brother being spit on San Francisco on his return to the states from Nam, if Jane knocked at our door.

Also, she is still angry that many of us on active duty or reserve status during Fonda’s visit to Nam could not wear our uniforms in the DC area.

[MuttTheHoople]

I was hoping she'd come to my door....I'd prefer a moving target.
