I've been...

canvassing with notes for about 4 weeks now. I went on a road trip to Phoenix and canvassed loving post-its as I went. I use neon pink or neon green notes and sign it with “xoxo”
I have been tempted to put post-its of “you’re ugly” and “i hate you” next to people’s NRA and George W. bumperstickers, but, so far, I’ve been able to hold myself back.
It's been four days.
