Family values in Michigan

by Curtis Neff—Michigan

Hello America, my name is Curtis. I am an Iowan canvassing in Michigan. I am loving it! On my third day I got the family treatment. I was canvassing in Wayne, and I waved to a young lady through window as I walked up the steps. She waved back and said she thought she must of known me. I said I was “just being friendly and assuming support.”

She invited me in, and the whole family was meeting for a weekly dinner. A neighbor or two was at the feast because really we are all family. Everyone signed up to be a member. Our goal is to get member households but I never discourage anybody who cares about the issues. This family really cared about the issue, about each other and others’ families. They even treated me like family. They made me a plate of food. I never take any breaks so I took 10 minutes to enjoy their offering. I spoke to four generations present about the history and direction of our country. I was never treated this well in my corporate jobs.

Working America has restored my faith in the people of this country. Every night I see the what every politician really needs to see, the people as they really are. I will never forget them. As I left their home I said to the chef, “Thank you for a great meal.”
