A month ago or more, the 4Hers helped conduct a Political Candidate Forum. In the past we have hosted a Political Meet and Greet of the candidates, but without an agent this year we piggy-backed another group and just helped out. They let us ask four or five questions, so some of the kids were assigned a question, and they stood up at the microphone to ask. That was about the middle of the evening.
I was in front of all of the other 4Hers from the county, and so I missed seeing that they got up and left part way through. We stuck it out through the whole thing. Whew!!
Questions were asked that are illegal to ask- like "What party do you belong to?" in a non-Partisan race. Strange comments were made like, "Will you promote a bill saying that boys have to keep their pants above their underwear?" That seemed to be a serious request!
We stuck it out through the entire meeting, but once it was over we booked it out of there. We rewarded the kids with a dinner at Wendy's, and the poor things were accosted by a man who talked their ears off. What a night.
