So my community is trying to get the state of Delaware to take over our local roads. This state is bizarre how it handles this kind of thing but bottom line is that every resident of my community needs to sign and notorize a form to essentially “give” our roads to Delaware.
Anyway, we have a resident coordinating this, God Bless. Husband and I intend to go get the papers notorize but I phone her on the # she included in her letter just to see how it’s going For EVERY resident must sign this thing and I figger, why bother if no one else is doing it?
We talk and somehow the topic gets to politics. I tell her I am now an EDC for the Sussex GOP, that I would be glad to help her gather these signatures.
She tells me she too is a Republican, she did not know about these monthly meetings, she’d sure like to get involved.
She also expressed concern about this President.
On to our bank, husband and I go to get this thing notorized. the bank lady didn’t know you could get Delaware to do this, said her community had just paid $30,000 to get two roads paved.
I tell her about how it works (somehow I managed to get a HUGE pothole in front of my house fixed, I think they did it because....well somebody did it for me after I complained, maybe fear of my vocal pen?) So I do know this is how it worked from my own pothole incident.
Soon we talk. Well she too is a Republican but not involved in politics. She did express a concern about this President and I had to comment that I thought four more years of this guy would ruin the country.
She said she’d sure like to get involved with the Sussex GOP and we ended with my promise to get back.
What’s my point fine yon ladies and gems reading this across the fruited plains?
You got just one person out there reaching out and they’re reaching back.
I can sense there’s a real, but quiet and polite as is our wont, displeasure with this Obamer character.
Understand that Sussex county is a conservative sort of place but I mentioned earlier about the cool liberals in Lewes who are starting to panic for concern of their beach front homes and this president guy who wants to take their children’s inheritance and redistribute it to HIS voters.
Point being, Independents and quasi-liberals will turn in a sec when it threatens them and theirs.
Earlier I said the GOP needs to get its message out.
Fire Karl Rove for starters. Next, Newt....not that anybody listens to him any more.
Get going on the message because they’re out there folks, and they’re worried, and they’ll come over to our side with just a push.
Risk the head hairs...hey, my hair’s always a mess.
Insert smile here.
Thank bank, btw, Wilmington Trust, was owned by the widow of the lady who ran against Urquhart for that House seat given up by Castle. This bank now sold to M&T but I’d suggest that this is a bit of a liberal-oriented bastion as well.
Your local GOP stories are great, Fishtalk!
Just imagine how different the world would be if every Freeper could get a few GOP friends to join their local GOP organization with him or her. It’d be a whole new party!
Speaking to a friend who told me she was voting for Obama..I asked her “do you know his middle name”...she said she didnt.. I asked her why she was voting for him ...she said everyone she knows is. So I once again asked her ...what is this person who you think is the best choice to be our president ..what is his middle name??. She didn’t know, I told her, she voted rep.
Doesnt take much when you know who ya talkin to
