Sam,

I will defend his right, and that of any candidate, to campaign door to door. They have a very short time to "sell their wares" and if voters never get a chance to meet them in person, then they not be able to make an educated decision in the voting booth. Our elections are the purest form of "freedom of speech." The right to campaign is a constitutional guarantee and I believe that neither state nor local law nor CDD covenant can supersede that. As homeowners, I believe we have the right to post signs supporting our canddiates.
