WITH ALL THE HYPERBOLE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY ABOUT WHO IS PATRIOTIC AND WHO ARE THE TRAITERS, I DECIDED TO CONDUCT A PRIVATE CITIZENS POLL ON WHO PROUDLY DISPLAYS THE AMERICAN FLAG.
I CHOSE THE MONTHS OF MAY, JUNE AND JULY AS THESE MONTHS CONTAIN 3 DAYS WHEN DISPLAYING THE FLAG IS MOST COMMON-MEMORIAL DAY, FLAG DAY AND JULY 4 TH.
SEVERAL TIMES DURING THIS 3 MONTH PERIOD, I DROVE AROUND THE TOWNS, VILLAGES, CITIES AND RURAL AREAS STOPPING WHENEVER I SIGHTED A FLAG WAVING, I THEN ASKED THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS- ARE YOU REGISTERED TO VOTE, HOW ARE YOU REGISTERED AND HOW OFTEN DO YOU VOTE. I TOOK NOTICE OF EACH HOME I STOPPED AT TO MAKE SURE I DID NOT MAKE A REPEAT STOP AT ANY ONE HOME.
I MADE 284 STOPS AND TALLIED UP THE RESULTS AS FOLLOWS
REPUBLICANS 95
INDEPENTENTS 119
DEMOCRATS 24
UNREGISTERED 46
WHEN I DISCUSSED VOTING WITH THE UNREGISTERED PEOPLE, THEY ALL TOLD ME THAT THEY GOT SO FED UP WITH POLITICS THAT THEY REFUSED TO VOTE. I DISCUSSED VOTING WITH THEM BECAUSE I SYMPATHIZED WITH THEM INASMUCH AS I ONCE WENT FOR 3 YEARS REFUSING TO VOTE FOR THE SAME REASONS.
I TOLD THEM THAT MANY TIMES I LIKED CERTAIN ONES WHO WERE SEEKING OFFICE AND WISHED I COULD HAVE VOTED FOR THEM SO AFTER 3 YEARS I REGISTERED TO VOTE AS AN INDEPENDENT AND THEN I COULD VOTE FOR ANY PERSON I LIKED, EVEN IF IT WAS ONLY ONE CANDIDATE ON THE BALLOT THAT I VOTED FOR. 32 OF THOSE UNREGISTERED CITIZENS TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE GOING TO FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE. SO THEY COULD SUPPORT, WITH THEIR VOTE ANY CANDIDATE THAT THEY BELIEVED IN.
THIS WAS NOT A SCIENTIFIC POLL, JUST A CONCERNED CITIZEN TALAKING WITH OTHER CONCERNED CITIZENS AND FINDING OUT THAT THE UNREGISTERED CITIZENS WERE VERY MUCH CONCERNED WITH THE DIRECTION THE COUNTRY WAS HEADED. THE MORE I THINK ABOUT WHAT I DID HAD POSITIVE RESULTS AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT OTHERS GET OUT AND TAKE A POLL OF THERE NEIGHBORS. I DID NOT DISCUSS OR RECOMMEND ANY CANIDITATE BUT ENCOURAGED EVERY PERSON I TALKED WITH TO BE A FREE THINKER IN MAKING UP THEIR MIND IF THEY WOULD VOTE AND FOR WHOM.
