(6,650 posts)1. It's so rewarding
to be out there collecting signatures (and thumbs-up, and democrabeeps and waves)!
Much tougher in the red parts of the state, but they keep on keepin' on, and every signature is its own reward.
Thanks for the tip o' the hat! (even tough I wasn't out there today)

(5,035 posts)3. There was a man outside the Appleton library last weekend for three hours
People were signing, but they were also buying him hot drinks the whole time. He had a stack of empties.

(6,650 posts)4. When my friend and I were collecting in Middleton,
A woman from England stopped to thank us. She bemoaned the fact that she couldn't sign the petitions, and asked if she could buy us a whisky!
We settled for a cup of coffee, but that whisky sure sounded good!
