Not Quite What I Meant

When I first mentioned my “Bathroom Blitz” campaign, I had no idea what kind of effect it would have.  Would people post signs?  Would they stay up or would they be thrown out?  Would anybody mention they saw a sign in a bathroom?  Why is Martin Bashir on my television?

I was driving to Greensboro, NC to attend a funeral of a dear close friend.  There was a diner off of I-81 in Culpeper, VA.  I stopped there to grab a bite to eat and that I really, really, really had to go to the bathroom.  There was an empty bathroom stall and I went about my business.  What I saw on the wall was both pleasing and disappointing.

While writing on the wall leaves a more permanent impression than leaving a sign, it is also considered by some as "vandalism." I do not support vandalism, but if you must write on the wall, please make sure the URL is legible.

I am guessing that the URL is supposed to read http://tinyurl.com/ahmnodt which would bring people who type that to this blog.  While I may know what it means, the average person may not.  The object is not to convince me to vote for me.  (I’m pretty sure I will), but to convince the person who has no idea who I am to at least take a look and check out the website.

I didn’t have a marker to make the writing more legible, so I left it as it was.  I’ll bring a marker when I swing by on the way back and make it easier to read.  Funny thing was I wasn’t really thinking about campaigning while I was mourning, but after seeing this, I am thinking that campaigning is a 24 hour-a-day operation.  I will learn how to campaign while I snore when I return on Thursday.

This Could Get Me In Trouble

A MESSAGE FOR MY SUPPORTERS

I would like to start by saying “Thank you” for everybody who have supported the 2008 and the 2012 campaigns.  I appreciate the effort and the sacrifice you have given.  I have one favor to ask.  Please do not break any laws while showing support.

A supporter was arrested for vandalism after tagging this billboard in Akron, OH. http://www.txt2pic.com/

Please don’t write on somebody else’s property.  This includes unused billboards.  If you can’t resist writing on somebody else’s property, then at least take the time to spell correctly.

Bad spelling doesn’t just make me look bad, it makes you and all the supporters look bad.    I will never get that coveted interview with Norah O’Donnell if incidents like this keep happening.  I might end up making Keith Olbermann’s “Worst Persons in the World” segment.  It would kill my campaign if I was a worse person than “Bill-O the Clown.”

I just want to restate the thanks for all of my supporters and to keep up the good work.  We will overcome this incident and win in 2012!
