Pay
I finally made quota at my job ($135 in a four hour canvassing period). Then I quit. I've had reservations both about the message that they send to people and they collect donations. Specifically, I don't agree with this scare-mongering tactic they use of equating Texas' lead in the nation in mercury emissions with an imminent threat to people's health. Additionally, I didn't care for canvassing in poor neighborhoods. Now, I'll be the first to admit I have no qualms about asking for money from a guy with 24'' rims that spin independently of the wheels, but I felt uncomfortable asking for money from people who are just getting by. So I bid adieu to the folks at Clean Water, (Clean Water Action, just in case anyone wants to check them out).
The main reason I got involved with political canvassing was because I had never done it before and I wanted to give it a shot. Now that I know I don't like it, I think I'll try something different. Maybe I'll be a carpenter. Jesus was a carpenter, and I'm just as bad a Jew as he was.
