Aww bless you — I did door-to-door canvassing for HRC & PennEnvironment as my first job out of high school and it was indeed brutal. Got lots of doors slammed in my face.

Worst experience wasn't mine, but a coworker's — he said a dude in South Philly threatened to get his shotgun if he didn't get off his porch.

Best was canvassing for gay marriage in the Gayborhood. This young guy told me he was already a member of HRC, but he packed me a little lunch of snacks and a cold drink.
