The other day I picked up our local paper to check out who is running for various town office’s in our March election. You all know that I am, but still, seeing my name in black and white made the event all that more real for me.
When I went out the other day I picked up paper, laminating sheets and a clip so I can make myself a “Hi I’m Maribeth ******running for Library Trustee.
I plan to get up early, do a full make-up job, wear my long underwear and then stand outside in the candidate area to shake hands with people as they come to vote.
I want people to know who they are voting for. I want to meet the people in my town face to face. I just hope when they see this face,
they won’t run screaming from the polls! Hopefully they will see this face and feel comfortable voting for me. At least one thing is for sure, I won’t be some anonymous name on a paper ballot. I will be the strange woman in the parking lot smiling and shaking hands (and freezing her butt off, I’m sure)! The election is March 9th.
Good luck Maribeth!! Sounds like you´re a person of “the people”! 🙂
Nice Picture! I am sure most people will love meeting you!!! Good Luck! Love YOU, Mel
You know, Maribeth, I think they MIGHT run screaming! That is SUCH a scary picture! *rolling my eyes SO hard they’ll probably get stuck in opposite positions*
I’m sure it will be a good experience! I would vote for you! 🙂 And not just cause I’m your daughter! xo
Love you lots,
Mandy
