[QUOTE="paninaro, post: 1410701, member: 5266"] It's a slog, and if the teachers union is strong in your area, then prepare to be called names and verbally attacked. They'll say you want to kill grandma by opening schools or whatever. Don't feed into it. Just ignore, and focus on your message. Also don't worry about crowd counts. It's not so much how many people you get the word out to, but to the [I]right[/I] people. You convince one influential senior citizen living at the retirement village, and they'll spread the word at their bridge game, etc. Even just standing outside a shopping mall or public transit station and handing out flyers with your photo on it can work. People may not have time to talk, but they will respect a person who's out in the field and showing their face.
