'Obama Lady' Makes a Stand in Strongsville

Political activist take her message to the street

 

 

Motorists on Royalton Road in Strongsville might have glimpsed Kathy Furz on Tuesday as she strolled along Route 82 wearing neck-to-foot Obama campaign signs.

"I've done this my entire life," said Furz, who lives in Strongsville. "I'm getting a lot of support. One guy all but leaped out of his car, though, and said if I didn't leave he'd make me."

A member of the Clinton-Gore advance team for nine years, Furz grew up in a political household and feels strongly President Obama "is for all the people -- not just 53 percent."

Plenty of drivers honked their horns and gave a thumbs-up to Furz as she stood at the I-71 interchange on Election Day.

Plenty of others honked and offered a less friendly gesture. "Obama's worthless," one guy yelled.

It's all good.

"I'm making a statement, yes," said Furz, who started her vigil at 5:30 a.m. and hoped to stay through the evening rush hour. "But I'm also reminding people, 'go and vote.' People fought for this right."

Watch the video.
A dangerous place to be standing - for her and all the cars. An accident waiting to happen.
