The last days of campaign entailed the two caravans, that of Mr. John Ritchie and ours, joining up in Albany. We did a short campaign in the state capital under an overpass because of the intense rain. The support was very good, but as after we finished a man drove up and … Read more
Today, we held three campaigns in Lincoln, East Providence and Meadowbrook, RI. The support for traditional marriage continues strong. The forecast called for rain in the morning and scattered thunderstorms all afternoon, and sure enough, as we approached the town of Woonsocket we ran into a thunderstorm. However, as we scouted the … Read more
Will the video camera survive? It looks like we will need to get a new video camera. The one we currently have has suffered a number of harsh blows by pro-homosexual advocates. The viewing screen no longer works. If you remember, it was hit by a woman who assaulted Mr. Michael Shibler … Read more
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
We had three very interesting campaigns today in the suburbs of Albany. The first two were outside of shopping centers. One lady drove by at our first campaign and screamed out the window, “Adam and Steve is just as good as Adam and Eve.” More amusing than this were the three people … Read more

At last, after a tiring 17-hour drive down highway 95, the ten of us arrived safely in Miami where Cuban-American TFP supporters gave us a most warm reception. The long journey South gave us time to listen to a book on tape titled Against All Hope by Armando Valladares, former U.S. ambassador … Read more
Would we take a day off today? No, we couldn’t do that. After all, October 3 is the day Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, founder of the Brazilian TFP, rendered his soul to God in 1995. He inspired and taught us to defend and live our Catholic faith. The best homage we … Read more
Bankers and lawyers walked up and down the streets on lunch break. Most of the time, they walked together in groups of three or four. However, when politely offered a traditional marriage flier, they would pretend you didn’t exist. Many businessmen treated TFP volunteers like lamp posts, like glass pillars, refusing to … Read more
Yesterday, we said farewell to California. After thirty days campaigning for traditional marriage in the Golden State, my colleagues are a number of shades darker, burned by constant exposure to the sun, yet ever willing to continue the crusade for God’s marriage. Our next stop: Arizona. Temperatures reached triple digits today as … Read more
