So that by Chuck's criterion the Planned Parenthood organization on Ford Parkway could get protesters who get in people's faces to leave...?

I have never had any problem when the candidate is simply shaking hands, saying how do you do and answering people's questions. As a "handler" I stood to the side and offered lit if the person engaged the candidate. I would guess that the Farmer's Market has responded the same way to candidates walking through their "event." If you are walking through saying how do you do and only engaging those people who want to be engaged it probably would be more of an issue to evict you than to let you work the crowd. But, if you camp out on the space that they are renting from the city and direct comments at all passers by, I'd guess they'd boot you. I know that when I have worked the Farmers' Market crowd (without a candidate) we always did it from across the street not on the sidewalk attached to the market. > > Chuck (long time handler) Repke > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > _____________________________________________ > To Join: St. Paul Issues Forum Rules Discussion > Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > _____________________________________________ > NEW ADDRESS FOR LIST: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To subscribe, modify subscription, or get your password - visit: > http://www.mnforum.org/mailman/listinfo/stpaul > > Archive Address: > http://www.mnforum.org/mailman/private/stpaul/ _____________________________________________ To Join: St. Paul Issues Forum Rules Discussion Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _____________________________________________ NEW ADDRESS FOR LIST: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, modify subscription, or get your password - visit: http://www.mnforum.org/mailman/listinfo/stpaul Archive Address: http://www.mnforum.org/mailman/private/stpaul/
