Sheesh. (public post!)
Dear Door-to-Door Young Political Man,
I am a Bad American. I'm kind of vague on politics and issues in general. There are a couple of issues I lean heavily towards, and I tend to skew my vote or my support towards those. So, when you come to my door with your clipboard and your petition, some information about your organization (other than that it's a political organization) and what purpose the petition actually serves would be pretty handy. Like, you know, a brochure or some actual solid information coming out of your mouth. I mean, I had to ask if your group had a website I could check out! You should be volunteering that, at the very least! And when I look at the website? And it looks like I actually would've signed your petition, yes, thank you, that looks like something I would be in support of? SERIOUSLY PEOPLE GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. However, you were totally polite and friendly, if uninformative, and I know it can't be fun to walk around and knock on doors, but it would probably be more efficient to do so if you had, you know, information.
Love,
gretchen
P.S. Maybe I spent too many years in sales?
P.P.S. As a general rule, I don't buy ANYTHING from ANYONE who comes to my door. Unless it is Girl Scout Cookies, I make a OM NOM NOM exception for those.
