Would?
Now is the time.
A good way to start is to become the Precinct Chairman of your local voting precinct.
You have a duty to visit every registered voter in the precinct (block walking). You also get to know the terrain.
It’s a good way to get to know the neighbors. You can ask them to get involved as campaign volunteers, election officials, and Poll Watchers as well.
I recruited three new Election Judges last year. One was an honest Democrat so I encouraged her to serve her party.
Like some of the other posters on this thread, I have a business and home in the city. I will not let a mob take or destroy that. My employees and neighbors will stand with me.
BTW, we are diverse! My condo complex has Hispanics, African-Americans, Lebanese, Chinese, straights and gays. A couple of them are outstanding and all are good neighbors.
