I'm actually wondering about this.....I have an idea for Halloween tomorrow, and that is to have flyers about the negatives of Obamacare and the Obama administration, and about his war on coal here in WV and information about a protest against VP Biden this Saturday. And also flyers from a church and religious messages. I wonder if its okay to include these along with candy and give them to trick or treater and their parents, especially their parents. I would love to spread the word about how terrible Obama is for this country, and the specific things he has done to hurt our economy and our health care.
Do y'all think Halloween would be a good opportunity to spread this information? A lot of people out there truly are not educated about things like the illegal alien Dream Act, the deficit, Obamacare, Obama's war on coal, the Democrats urban centric policies and the negative impacts that they have on basically all Americans outside of his urban base.
It makes you sound demented. Handing out flyers about Obama's war on coal to four year olds?
Hey - look at this. The conservatives and the liberals on here ALL agree that this is a monumentally bad idea. For the OP, absolutely do NOT do this. It will do nothing but cause anger towards you and whatever protest you are advocating for. Use the proper venues if you want to publicize a protest - the newspapers, media, etc. Kids should always be off limits.

I agree people are not educated and this could mean disaster for many, but NO, it is not OK. This is the kids night, the night they enjoy living in their make believe world and having a few hours of fun, it is not the time to push our political or religious views. In fact our church does a trunk or treat night and there is no religious material at all.

You could do that but you'd be an obnoxious & selfish jerk when you should just be helping those kids have a nice holiday which they've waited all year for. Keep your politics to yourself for one evening and just let the kids enjoy the night.
Long Answer: No, this is wrong. While you have every legal right to do this, let's look at how everyone else would see it. Snobbish. It's that simple. Your pushing a political agenda on a holiday for kids. It's comparable to handing out flyers at a Chuck E. Cheese's for a kids birthday party. Even if it's for the parents, it's not the right time to do it. There's a time and place for everything, and this isn't one of them. I'd imagine that even many of the people who AGREE with your agenda would find handing out flyers during trick or treating as generally inappropriate.
Halloween should just be about fun, not pushing a political or religious agenda onto others. I'm a devout Christian saying this. Leave your politics behind, and let people have fun. If you want people to go to your church, just ask them politely or better yet hold a community gathering at your church for everyone on Halloween.
Is it okay to include political and religious handouts in Halloween
treats?
If you want to .. or someone else wants to ... yes, I think it's okay. The recipient isn't obligated to read what's provided, but in return for some treats ... why not a few tricks!
