I don't care WHAT party is out there they shouldn't be coming to our home! We see enough of the ridiculous political fighting in The Villages in the paper, The Villages.com, etc. so we don't need more politics on my doorstep. My husband told the gentleman he wasn't allowed to "solicit" in The Villages but the guy replied he wasn't soliciting that "it was a political speech". GRRRR -- thankfully I wasn't home! I will get lots of flack about this posting but if it keeps the political party solicitors off my doorstep I'm happy!
PS: The Villages Office was particularly unhelpful in providing any method for stopping political peddlers.

I agree. We were sitting at one of the restaurants on the Square and were approached by political operatives handing out their "stuff". It ruined my meal, frankly.
