I don't know why anyone would have a problem with any city that sought to make an ordinance requiring all door-to-door salespersons (be it make-up or religion) to obtain a permit from the mayor. It makes the communities more safe and less vulnerable to heinous acts of crime. Its really rather simple...if you don't have anything to worry about, then why protest? Making sure people obtain some sort of permit, can only bring positive outcomes. Also, if I were a sales advocate, even for my religion, I would WANT the people that I approach to know I was legitimate. There's no harm in that. I would have to take some time out of my life to obtain this permit, but that really shouldn't be such a big deal now, should it? With all the unthinkable acts of crime that are out there today, why would people not want to make communities a little more safe? Ignorance sometimes is a drag.
