Yesterday was candidates night in Weymouth, an event hosted by a coalition of Democratic Town Committees from 8 south shore towns. John spoke, and tells me it was a great event, with a very energized crowd.

"I met a number of delegates, and there were many people who care about our election process and the state of our Democracy, and want real leadership."

Susan H of the blog Below Boston was there, and saw the enthusiastic reaction to John's speech:

During Bonifaz's allotted speaking time he was interrupted by applause frequently when he mentioned voting/election concerns. People there last evening responded to the issues that Bonifaz raised.

Blogger Jan A also wrote about it:

Sec. of State candidate John Bonifaz roused the crowd a bit with his usual speech about counting every vote, making voting easier and ending big money influence by public funding of campaigns. Especially, the part about having access to paper ballots and hard drives of any voting technology.

Have you seen Bonifaz speak at a candidates night, house party, or similar event? What was it like? Comment here and tell us about it.
