I collected [PARD petition] signatures as well. What was interesting to me was the secretive/private stance signatorees sometimes took. I think it spoke to the larger dynamic of the local politics--local conservatives feeling more confident and less awkward about their positions and "liberals" feeling less inclined to be public with her/his views. In general, I think the process reflected a greater dynamic: it is difficult to have leaning-to-the-left politics or beliefs in this community and one is quickly alienated when ascribing to such.- Anonymous comment on the Daily News website
