Today we campaigned in the tiny city of Watertown in the center square. No sooner had we started than a lady sticking half her body out of an upstairs apartment began yelling out against us. So much of her body was hanging out at one moment we thought she might fall. The … Read more
Today we did a lunch time campaign in one of the more northern cities of NY. As usual the support was very good. The most significant thing about today’s campaign was the addition of a new sign which the public either loved or hated. The sign reads: CBS Poll, 60% of New … Read more
The campaign today was simply great. So much happened that my mind is like a blur. But I will try to fill you in to the best of my abilities. Just a few minutes after we started campaigning in Astoria this morning, an older woman peddling down the sidewalk on a bicycle … Read more
A Question of Justice At the location of our first campaign we had a very distinguished lady who came and spoke for a long time. She expressed a lot of frustration over the callousness of lawmakers who pass such legislation allowing homosexual “marriage.” “It is against justice,” she said. We moved to … Read more

Today we traveled almost two and a half hours to Bangor, one of Maine’s larger cities. Once again, we hardly began when we got our first honks. It was a good harbinger–for the most part. We are beginning to employ other methods of getting people to honk. Despite the many honks, there … Read more

The large banner acts like a sail on windy days, but our volunteers welcome the challenge. Some cars, while waiting at the … Read more
