The Carbon County Democratic Party is again sponsoring a booth at the County Fair. Our booth is almost directly across from the County Republicans. They give out peanuts; we give out lollipops. The 9-11/Tea Party booth is in another area of the fair; they give out vitriol and bile.
What do we accomplish? Mainly we reassure Democrats. Imagine if there were a Republican booth and we weren’t there. We do register an occasional voter, and we picked up a volunteer today. Each county club takes a day; tomorrow is the Lehighton Area Club’s responsibility.
What I’d like to do is have a big sign that says, “If you believe Obama is a Muslim or global warming is a hoax, please sign our register.” When people came over to sign and asked what it was for, I’d then say, “We’re making a list of stupid people.” So far I haven’t gotten this idea approved, but I’m still working on it.
That is a great idea... I love it! Be careful, you may run out of paper before anything else!
