Permission

Permission to think for yourself, and then to vote according to what you think, unencumbered by the negative peer pressure and the sometimes venomous rhetoric.

My ex-Mom-in-Law came for a visit in the fall of 2012, and I asked her who she was going to vote for. She told me she hadn't decided yet because she didn't know who all her friends were going to vote for.

Every yard sign, every bumper sticker, every casual conversation at the bar or the grocery store or the barber shop will have some impact on how people vote. Maybe not on the ones you're talking to, but the ones who overhear what you're saying.
