>It goes much further that riding in a car or talking on the phone - it includes using any type of machinery, including turning on/off light switches or using voting machines. ;) Basically, work in general - campaigning or otherwise.

But there are exceptions, specifically in time of war. And I am not comparing campaigning to war... although the two have some similarities. *g*

>IMNSHO, I don't care what day it is, demonstrating outside someone's house is just plain uncalled for. Some things just ain't right, and that's one of them.

I totally agree.

>But also remember, these demonstrators aren't official representatives of either candidate or party or convention - these are just people, most of whom probably don't have anything better to do with their time. To prevent such idiocy in the future, the parties should issue a joint statement urging their supporters to refrain from this sort of behavior.

Agreed.
