Like Obama... door to door...



Yesterday I followed Roberto and Lorenza (his assistant) in their door to door walks around Municipio XVII. Obama style, they laughed. They visited the shops where they would know the shopkeepers, they stopped by passers... "Are you a resident of Municipio XVII? In this case I would like to leave you a leaflet and introduce myself...". If a door was open they would put a few leaflets in the mailboxes, but not many: leaflets are expensive, Roberto is running is campaign on a shoestring... and as a former councillor working on environment he feels very guilty to waste paper and to add to the electoral waste in the streets...
