Reporting from Minneapolis—St. Paul With about 64,000 passing cars per day, the campaign on University Avenue in St. Paul was excellent for its high visibility. Right away we encountered a man concerned about his children. “I want to be able to send my kid to kindergarten without being told about homosexuality,” he said, … Read more
Reporting From Saint Cloud, Minnesota Today’s stop was Saint Cloud, a city with many Catholic inhabitants. At the first intersection we received very good reactions: applause, thundering honks, thumbs up, double thumbs up and other variations such as “You tell him!” “Thank you!” and “Amen!” A few boys past by and were … Read more
Minneapolis—St. Paul, Minnesota Today we started the first campaign in Bloomington next to the mall. The intersection had three lanes of traffic and the usual honks in support of true marriage sounded immediately. A telephone worker passed and said: “Thank you, but I don’t need your flyer.

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
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
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
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.
