I had my first campaigning experience this week (other than asking everyone I know to vote for me on August 5!). I printed the opening page of my blog, and walked it around to a small neighborhood not far from my home. I knocked on about 30 doors, and spoke with only a handful of people, probably because most were still at work.
It was a humbling experience to talk about myself to strangers. It was also an exceedingly brief experience, since most people were willing to spare about 30 seconds for my sales pitch. I can't say that I'm surprised about this, but I don't know any other way to get acquainted with the residents of Whitewater Township. I do know that getting out in the community is a valuable learning opportunity, and that's enough motivation to keep up the effort.
