Doesn't want candidates to come to her door Another viewpoint on one of Adair County's most honored traditions, personal campaigning. The writer makes a good point, which should be respected for those who feel as she does - but we were hoping for more personal campaigning this year, less paid advertising. Maybe there's some simple solutions to the problem. Click on on headline for complete item with our comment By Kathryn Miller Personal opinion of the writer Nothing ticks me off more than when I am in my home and politicians decide to come to my door or call my house. There is no need for it. I am recovering from surgery right now and one of those politicians decided to come knocking on my door today asking for my vote. Even when all is well or I am not sick it still bothers me. They don't think about one particular thing when they call or knock on your door to ask for votes; they show no respect for the home and family by bothering voters at home. There are other ways to campaign. You can advertise in the paper or here on this site or have rallys or through facebook even. But for the love of God stop bothering people at home. --Kathryn Miller Thanks, Kathryn Miller: Many will agree with you. Maybe if there were a posting of locations which don't want to be visited, I'm sure none would stop by if they know. On the other hand, most Adair Countians - I'm one, even though I'm in the advertising business - who think that in-person meetings are the most important element of a campaign. I've met some of the closest friends I have today after first meeting them when they have knocked on the door and introduced themselves, and solicited my vote. In fact, I felt honored. I actually appreciate their frugality - because I believe those people would be more careful with my tax dollars. Of course, an added advantage to a newsperson - I've been able to predict winners by their manner. Sincerity and likeability are the key in local elections, in my opinion. Still, I hope candidates are made aware of those, such as you, who do not want the visits. Perhaps a sign in the window? Maybe the local printers have them. Thanks for your comment. -EW This story was posted on 2014-02-20 04:03:23
