This morning we had two campaigns outside of shopping centers at very busy intersections. The support we received in Saratoga Springs was very good but it didn’t compare to what happened in Queensbury. One way of gauging the effectiveness of the campaign is by the number of projectiles thrown. Several people threw … Read more
Forecast for the day: rain. As you can imagine, rain can ruin a demonstration, not because we fear getting a little wet, but because our cardboard signs would fall apart. Confiding that the Blessed Mother would somehow intercede for us and hold off the rain, we drove to the Green Acres Mall … Read more

It was both sunny and rainy throughout the day in the Bronx, where we campaign for traditional marriage near the courthouse building on Grand Concourse Ave., a street known as the Champs-Élysées of the Bronx.
