1 2 <div><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-family: Arial;">My most poignant experience of Election 2008: canvassing with&nbsp;my Los Angeles based son and his 8 year old daughter in a housing project in Scranton, PA.&nbsp; Knocking on doors and seeing a lot of children, and many women, some of whom had voted and others planning to, some not registered and some not eligible. But in all cases more or less happy to have had a knock on the door. We know that&nbsp;voting is a privilege, and citizenship is a precious and, alas, rare privilege in the world; these people who are seldom called upon to act as citizens remind me how important it is to include those who are so often left behind. So in the realm of good deeds, keep in mind that asking/bringing/helping people in to the world of citizenship is important--for the individual and for the society.</span></span></div> <p>&nbsp;</p> Scranton Sondra Myers 41 2008-12-20T16:39:09-05:00 630 false true 2009-01-17T18:14:39-05:00 2009-01-17T18:14:39-05:00
