I had my first experience with a birther yesterday.  I have a “Martha is Pro-choice” bumper sticker on my car.  Martha is Martha’s Vineyard – the island is outlined on the sign.  She rushed out of TJ Maxx to her car which was parked next to mine and said, “I don’t know who Martha is, but does that mean she is for abortion?”  I said no, it just means that she wants to make her own decisions about her own body.

Then she saw my Obama/Biden bumper sticker.  She told us that Obama absolutely was not born in this country, that she had lived in Hawaii and there was no such hospital and he had paid one million dollars for this forged birth certificate.  As she railed on, her five small dogs scattered around the store parking lot unnoticed.  We left.  There did not seem to be a compelling reason to engage further with this world of confusion and madness.

Back on the road and more canvassing tomorrow.  We are in the thick of the big get out the vote effort.  Mostly talking to Obama voters now, so more breathing and relaxation there.  Volunteering at an Obama and Clinton event on Sunday!!!
