I feel stupid :(

I posted this last week but our mayor will not put a bond for our new shelter on the ballot for a vote. Well if we can get 3 of our 4 counsel members to override his ruling it will be out on the ballot for a vote by the citizens. It is a tax increase (very low--on a $100k house it's an increase of $12.40 a year). Well tonight there was a city counsel meeting. At the beginning there is a public formum an we had 26 people speak and asked the counsel to put the shelter bond up to vote. Here is the part where I felt stupid and just can't stop thinking about it. Well the humane society Was handing out postcards to fill out and send to our counselmen/women saying we would like the bond on the ballot. Well one of DH cw was at the meeting. Him and his wife have dogs and I assumed they were there for the same reason I was so I have them a card. Later DH's cw told DH that "he doesn't support the shelter". I know i should have know that. He has rental properties and is from and married into some of our towns "well to do" families. I just feel so stupid for not knowing he wouldn't support it. And I even thought after I handed him the cards "oh I bet he's against it". DH's cw also told him not to tell me what he said. And of course DH does bc you just don't keep things from each other. I just feel so stupid. O was only trying to help.

I don't understand why you are expected to know this random fact about your husband's coworker? I couldn't even tell you whether my own coworkers are republican or democratic, let alone whether or not they'd support an animal shelter.
If he doesn't support the animal shelter, he should have and tossed the card when he got home and been done with it. I mean, I suppose if you sat there and had a 20 minute conversation with him about how glad you were that he showed up to support the animal shelter it'd be a little wierd. However, it sounds like you were just handing them a card, like you were handing everyone else, and it seems a little odd (maybe even petty) that he'd even say something.
This!
And really, what you did wasn't stupid at all. And at least the cw was polite about it and didn't say something to you in front of everyone at the meeting. And it sounds like he didn't want to hurt your feelings, hence the telling your H not to tell you.
Good luck getting your shelter!
This is my thinking on it. You handed him a card, you didn't forge his signature on a petition. You're supposed to hand out cards. That's what they're for. How the recipient feels about the issue is not your concern.
