I couldn't find the best "file photo" as it's only one sign that I see all over the neighborhood, and I don't want to divulge real names. This guy is a Democrat, and the signs are all about because he's running in a primary for this State House district XXX [REDACTED].
Mr. Jones, let's call him, has moved up the political ladder from some volunteer neighborhood what-have-you (MOAR 4-way stop signs!) to city something-or-other, and he's been in this office at least once already. It's hard to believe that in this socially Conservative State, this piece of work has gone right up the ladder. That's this district, I guess.
I don't take others' signs down, what with my lack of my own front-end-loader, and then there's that directive from my doctor to not drink anymore*... I do resent getting 20 pieces of mail from the same freaking guy though, even when it's a good guy.
I! GET! IT! Pro-BLT-G, walk-friendly shopping district (yeah, it's gonna cut out some lanes, but who needs lanes to drive?), and all the ctrl-left clap-trap that I really don't expect here from the local guys.
It was time to call this Rep of "mine" about the 20 pieces of junk mail. I guess Mr. Jones is not THAT big a hot shot, as the phone number went to his mobile phone as connected to his car. He barely let me get a word in after I told him nicely that I'd gotten too much mail and asked if he could please make it stop.
I did bring up "Don't you left-wing people want to save the trees and save the bees, and all that? This is a lot of paper wasted, man."
Apparently that's not a problem, but this was a great opportunity for Rep. Jones to tell me what he was doing to raise property values in the neighborhood. He did bring up constituent services.** He went on for a while. Maybe it was due to the car hook-up, but I could not get a word in for 2 minutes. Finally, "Yeah, that's great about THIS neighborhood, but it's all for nothing if you people work to keep this country going straight to hell."
Well, yeah, but constituent services ... like, MAKE! IT! STOP!
* The Doc said I don't have to drink any LESS, but just don't drink any MORE.
** Which will never happen now, as I had to text him my address at the end of the call to get him to stop the mail.
