"There are Trump signs here. That's not right"
As some on this board know, I am the immediate past president and one of the founders of a Democratic Women's Club of Florida chapter in my small red county. My phone number is still listed as the one to call with questions when we send out our meeting notices.
Last Friday, our meeting notice made it to the front page of the local paper(!) and we got a lot of calls and emails as a result.
Earlier today, I got a call from an elderly woman who lives in a mobile home park who wanted to know where she could get some Biden lawn signs for her yard. She's seen several Trump signs in her neighborhood and "that's not right."
She went on to say that she's a big Biden supporter and "we need to get Trump out of the White House." We commiserated for a while; living here, it's always nice to talk to a like-minded person.
She doesn't drive and is not on the internet. She was hoping someone could drop off some signs to her.
The local Democratic party is fortunate to have a sign maker among its membership. He makes loads of signs and offers them free of charge.
Well, I emailed some of the party heads and our Women's club leadership. I've already had 3 people say they'll bring her signs this week.
It's a small thing, but here in Red Florida, it means a lot.

It's little enough really. I'm not a big phone banker, etc., but I am good at organizing things. Plus, I am all about getting women elected. So, the Women's Club was a good fit for me. 
and I had purchased a number of yard signs.
I was taking a walk in my little community and I noticed that someone had put the tiniest little Obama sign in their window. Probably got it out of the newspaper.
I found out from another neighbor that this person lived alone, used a wheelchair, and no longer drove. I knew where one of my yard signs was going!
I went over after dark and left it on her back porch. When I took my walk the next day, that very large Obama yard sign was in her window! She never knew who left it there, but I knew it made her happy. 
There are some long-time African American families here - like many generations old - who are respected and honored. But many of them vote Republican because abortion. 
I know a black woman from one of those families. She married a white man at her family's church 40 or more years ago. Her family was welcoming; his was not. Neither, as you can imagine, was the community. In fact, they moved north for many years to get away from it. After they moved back, his mother barely spoke to them because his father had disowned his son.
Despite all that, this woman is a die-hard Trump humper who goes around town wearing her Trump t-shirt. She bought into every Obama conspiracy theory. I just gave up talking to her because it was completely nuts.
We've been here since 1992 and things have changed for the worse. SO will retire from teaching, possibly in a few weeks, but he'd like to work another year or two (he's on DROP). I've got work that doesn't pay great but I love (I'm a freelance writer/editor).
After all these years in FL, family from the north are starting to retire here. I'm just hoping we can start getting away for a couple months in the summer.
few tears.. for happy!
Of course it means a lot.. Mahalo for Sharing, mcar!
Biden Harris 2020!! 
Either way, we're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Biden Bandwagon & retire the con!!
Here's to GA going blue!
I moved to Florida after retirement and chose to settle in Highlands County, so I wouldn't be too far from my widowed mother. Red. VERY RED! So red, in fact, that upon finally locating the Highlands County Democratic Committee, I was elected president at the very first meeting I attended. The vote was 5-0.
So being a democrat in a very red part of Florida is a thankless job, but thank you just the same. A tip of my hat to you, mcar. 
Keep up the good work. After my Mom died I chickened out, sold the house, and moved back to New York where the culture shock wasn't so great. Highlands County was the first - and only - place in America where I saw a John Birch Society billboard. Really. It wasn't difficult to leave the Sunshine State. 
We've contemplated leaving many times. It's all the good, hardworking Democrats I've met who keep me sane.
a few more around there to keep you going. When you only have 5 active democrats it's a little difficult to build a support base. Sounds like you're doing a great job. Keep up the good work. We have to turn Florida deep blue.
