October 010 The Reporter of the process to help change the process, but again if you don’t vote then you have no voice”. We shook hands and he wished me and my family well and went on his way to the next house. Over the next week or two I decided that Mr. Rodi was right and that I should register to vote. I made my way over to City Hall one afternoon to register to vote. As I was filling out a voter registration application I noticed that Mr. Rodi walked in with his son for some election business. I tapped him on the shoulder and asked, Mr. Rodi, do you remember me? For a second he looked at me and said with a smile, “Antonio?” he then said how happy he was to see that I was registering to vote. I was impressed that he remembered my name. I told him that he inspired me to vote after our talk on my lawn. He then asked, “So do I have your vote?” I told him I was still thinking about it and would consider him. A few weeks later Mr. Rodi was on my porch again asking for my vote. After another long talk I agreed to support him and told him I would ask my wife and family to do the same. He then went a little further and asked if I would put his sign on my lawn, I said no I don’t feel good putting signs on my lawn, he then said fair enough and shook my hand and as he walked towards his truck I stopped him and said, give me 4 signs. For the first time in my life I became a voter and I was supporting a candidate for office and was putting a sign on my lawn and commercial properties. Even though Mr. Rodi eventually lost his race, I have continuously seen him in the neighborhood or in the paper. He has been working hard for us and I called him a few months ago and asked him, are you planning on running again, he said yes and I told him that he has my vote. I think he is a hard working guy that really cares about the people of this state. He would make a difference. So vote for him, we need a guy like him for a change. Thank you.
