HANNAH AT WORK

Hannah went to work soliciting signatures from individuals who would support the formation of a public dog park in our township. Because a friend of ours was helping out at voter registration, we were invited to join them at their table. Now 10 months old, Hannah donned her Democrat kerchief and made herself useful. A wag of the tail drew lots of compliments and attention from passers-by. Many signed the petition and spent some time talking to those of us at the table.

The Democrats set up the table to make it possible and simple for people to register to vote. It was amazing to see the number of disenchanted Republicans who stopped to change their party affiliation. Several individuals registered to change and went home and brought back other family members to do the same. Another individual born in the 1930's had never registered to vote, but stopped by to register for the first time in his life. Even though the table was set up by the Democrats, the registration was non-partisan.

I hope you are registered to vote!

May the best man or woman win!
