Fred and took part in sign guarding at this local man's yard from 10PM till midnight last night. It was cold, as you can tell by our dress! We had no incidents while we were there, but many people did "Honk for Free Speech".Our local delegate, Kris Amundsen, took the first shift and we relieved her. There was a "First Amendment Rally" from 5-7 PM that day, which generated lots of honking!
Wendell Allen, a lifelong Republican who is supporting Webb, and his son Skip (who seems more like a Democrat--bet they have some great discussions!) seem like really nice people who are mystified that politics could get so ugly and personal. Wendell first voted for Wendell Wilkie for President, so he's been at this a long time.
