My
previous post on canvassing at the Farmers’ Market addressed the fact that “overt political canvassing” is prohibited by the Farmers’ Market Constitution.
I have attempted to track down a copy of this constitution, but have not yet been successful. Strangely enough, the only references I have been able to find are in the blog-o-sphere (

I have also written to the Town requesting clarification on their rules.
I will keep trying to get a copy of the constitution.
Perhaps someone from the Farmers' Market would be so kind as send me a copy of the Constitution and a copy of the minutes from the meeting where it was passed.
I will be at the Market Saturday morning – canvassing as appropriate.
For some reason, a quote from Edmund Burke (1729 – 1797) just popped into my mind: “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing” (it should be noted that there are many variations on this quote, but the meanings are the same).
