My first time :)
Yep, and I'm 68. :)
Until this afternoon, I'd never stood on a sidewalk on a busy street and asked passersby to sign a petition.
[A word of advice: Mechanical pencils work better than ballpoint pens in cold weather.]
The Food and Water Watch petition in question asks Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer to resist plans to cut the budget for environmental protection.
My best line: "Keep lead out of your kid's drinking water--sign the petition!"
My next task: Learn to say that in Spanish.
Mantenga el plomo fuera del agua potable de su hijo--firma la petición!
Sigh. It's faster in English. Oh, well.
Link party--here are my most recent posts:
~ The Oroville Dam emergency--tragedy and metaphor
~ Pruitt, or contempt for the courts
~ A Jewish approach to tough times: Get to work!
~ Show me the money
~ Deconstruction: I said it here first

Good for you! I wish my health and inability to travel didn't prevent me from joining you. :)
Jeanne, getting people to sign petitions is one small thing that I can do despite a fear of crowds that makes attending large demonstrations less than ideal. I would have been scared out of my wits if I'd gone to the Women's March in Washington, and not much less scared if I'd gone to the one in Manhattan.
I wish you better health, or at least some reasonable semblance thereof.
