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
After attending Holy Mass in Manhattan, we had a hardy New York style sandwich – they call them heroes here – and drove to Staten Island. Crossing the majestic Hudson River gave us something beautiful to marvel at, and rest from the omnipresent graffiti-covered walls that plague the city. We stationed ourselves … Read more
Today, rain was forecast for the whole state. We were in a quandary because this would cancel any campaign. We confided in our patron St. Joseph and headed to Augusta, the capital of Maine. We campaigned on the edge of a traffic circle. At first, things were rather slow (few cars and … Read more
