I just wanted to note that I write much more about this industry (as well as about this particular group of unionizing canvassers) at <a href="http://www.mydd.com/user/greg bloom" rel="nofollow">my page at MyDD</a>. I also wrote a book about my experience in this world during the 2004 election, published <a href="http://beatingbush.cc" rel="nofollow">online here</a>. Let me know if you'd like to know more about the industry -- and thanks again for your interest! cheers Greg Hi there — thanks for your interest in this story.

For many, if not most, it is such an eye opener, that when they leave school, they choose areas far removed from their 'Work Experience'. One of my sons was convinced he wanted to be a marine biologist; until he did work experience with the CSIRO. Bored witless. He is now a Patent Attorney.
