Today, July 27th, we campaigned in Providence, Rhode Island. Rhode Island is the nation’s smallest state and one of the most Catholic. We did the first campaign in Providence’s financial district. Despite being Rhode Island’s biggest city, the traffic wasn’t much. Most of the campaigns of the Maine/Rhode Island caravan have been … Read more
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
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, 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
“Finally someone has common sense.” There was a “gay” pride parade last weekend here in town. I can’t imagine how the public accepted that because the response from the general public today was overwhelmingly positive. A police officer stopped early in the campaign and seemed very favorable. He gave his cell phone … 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
Today we campaigned for traditional marriage on Long Island. The intersection we stood at was massive and the windy, rainy weather made it difficult to hold the banner and standard. The large banner acts like a sail on windy days, but our volunteers welcome the challenge. Some cars, while waiting at the … Read more
