Signs, signs, everywhere are signs...

Here's a couple pics of of what Jason and I were doing last night - putting up campaign signs for our favorite State Representative, Rae Waters. The good news was - it was relatively cool and windy. The bad news was - it was windy. . The top pic shows Jason in action. First, you drive a piece of rebar into the hard, granite-like Arizona ground. Next, you attach one side of the sign via four plastic ties. Then you repeat the process for the other side of the sign. .

And here's the finished project. We did ten of these, plus one smaller sign, over the course of three hours. That's a generic "we". Jason did all the real work - hammering and tying. All I did was drive the truck and carry the signs and rebar.

This was volunteer work. I encourage everyone to get involved in their local political process. You might think you bring no skills or experience to someone's campaign. And that may be true, but there are a lot of jobs, like this one, that don't require any great talent. Just your time and physical effort. Putting up signs is low-tech, yet vital for name-recognition. Your local candidate thanks you in advance for volunteering.
