Would have done what you did... find out if you support the candidate before you put him on your lawn...
A reasoned and reasonable response.
What would I have done?
I won't have posted it here, for starters.
You did just fine.
I would have been standing behind you yelling, "Smackdown!" as I slammed the door.
But I'm one of those unsocialized homeschooling mothers.
Here's my jaded view:
"funding for school programs" = we want to raise property taxes to fund programs that you will read about and ask 'what the bleep?'
"nonpartisan" = we're liberals and know we're unpopular and the minority, so we don't want to admit it.
When I hear "bi-partisan" or "non-partisan;" that's not the candidate for me.
I would have done exactly what you did.
No putting those signs here.
If something similar happens, I hope I remember how adroitly you handled it.
Well said!
Sounds like you did great!
They're doing it for the children..
Panic Alert !!!!
I might have been arrested for waving a shotgun in their face..
I despise political signs all over front yards anyway so I guess I'll have to say I agree with you.
Exactly what you did. You hit it out of the park
I have a "No Soliciting" sign on my door. I'd've told her I couldn't support a school board candidate who couldn't get his wife to learn to read.
Although you handled it the right way, I would have probably said "Great! Get me as many of your signs as you can and I will make sure they get the treatment they deserve". The local garbage truck would be a little fuller on its next pick-up.
Give her an 'Al Bundy'.
Say absolutely nothing for about 2 seconds... then just slam the door shut.
Before you can put a sign in my yard you get run over the grille.
Where do you stand on the 2nd Amendment?
Do you stand with the US constitution as written? (ESP. if they are on the school board, are they going to TEACH the Constitution???)
if it is School board, what kind of curriculum do they want? Where do you stand on vouchers?
Condoms on bananas? no history? no founding fathers? No sign on my yard!!!!!!
You better want reading, writing and math REAL math. AND the goal should be teaching the kids, not a jobs program for incompetent teachers.
Bravo! Nicely done.
Great response. I would've had my Rottweiler escort them off of my property.
You handled this great. You can respectfully disagree with neighbors and still be civil. Make them a batch of chocolate chip cookies, take them by and show them the TRUE conservative Republican attitude.......maybe they will convert!!! LOLOL
I would have done what you did, but might have asked them why if they had moved someplace from out of state they were running for office? I personally think the idea of learning about a place before you start telling everyone how to run things might be a good idea.
