Sept 1 - The First Campaign
Today we campaigned for traditional marriage at the Cal Expo in Sacramento. It was the busiest day of the fair.
We made several “Honk for Traditional Marriage” signs and displayed them at the fair entrance. Honks of all types filled the air.
The issue of same-sex “marriage” has divided the state down the middle. Even within the same vehicle, we got both thumbs up and thumbs down. Very few people are undecided or unsure where they stand.
But don’t expect civility from same-sex advocates. One woman approached a TFP volunteer and bluntly stated: “You should be killed for your opinion on marriage. I’m not joking you should all be shot.” A few other passing cars attempted to inflict harm.
A moving car launched a full coke can at Mr. Thomas Schneider and another car containing a group of screaming girls threw a cup of ice coffee at him as well. Fortunately, both flying objects missed our dedicated volunteers. Saint Joseph, our caravan patron, is indeed protecting us.
We’ve found Protestants who agree wholeheartedly with the Catholic Church’s teaching against homosexuality. A preacher we met at the fair who had a pro-traditional marriage booth was happy to meet us and appreciated the TFP flier: “This flier is the best flier on the subject I’ve seen yet.”
He added: “Catholics have a term called the Church militant. We (Protestants) need something like that too.”
A city bus driver came and said: “I need another stack of fliers because I gave out the last one I had.” Apparently, he made sure each passenger on his bus received a flier.
I want to thank all of you who are praying for us. We will need your continued prayers.
Saint Joseph, pray for us!
Here's the text of the flier they were distributing:

No, really, was she joking?

Sounds like the Left's opinion about conservatives as a whole.

Catholic ping!
“You should all be shot.” Now, is that a sign of abnormal, immature lack of restraint or mental illness? It’s always been tough to tell.
It's not so much that we agree with the Catholic Church's teaching, per se, it's that we both agree with God's word on the subject.
And kudos to the Catholic Bishops for their very public stand for life and against those amateur theologians who would pretend to be 'ardent practicing' catholics.
The Glory of the Lord will be your rear guard, TFP’ers. Keep going, never stop.
I, too, don’t necessarily agree with the Catholic doctrine, but I do know what the Bible, God’s Word, says about it and that is what I stand on.
KEEP GOING! God will take care of you.
People filled with hate aren't civil period. But, then, they aren't filled with holiness and grace, either.
Sounds like the Left’s opinion about conservatives as a whole.”
If Obama is elected it may very well happen. I have no doubt that if that anti Christ Commie is elected Christian Conservatives will be put in his gun sight and he will start doing to us what Hitler did to the Jews preceding WWII. The only thing is that this time there won't be any country that will come to our aid. Only God could help us.
I’m sure if they had there way, they’d all be sent to the “Death Camp of Tolerance.”
DESDEMONA! It looks like Palin brought you out of your retirement. It’s really good to hear from you! :-D
The angry Left. The angrier they get the more they act like the Red Army.
Below is an email, I received from a friend, who is a Priest.
We can drop PG&E as our natural gas provider, save about 10-15% and whack the maggots in charge of PG&E.
Support Marriage? Drop PG&E
http://www.tigernaturalgas.com/pge.php
After San Francisco based PG&E recently decided to donate $250,000 to oppose Proposition 8, thousands of their pro-marriage customers have expressed their outrage. However, while many feel compelled to sign petitions of protest, legal researchers of Pacific Justice Institute have found that all PG&E natural gas users have a legal right to drop PG&E.
Specifically, all residential and non-residential consumers can choose an alternative natural gas provider that does not agree with PG&E’s controversial positions and actions. In addition, it was also uncovered that alternative providers, year over year, have reported saving their customers up to 15% off their natural gas bill compared to PG&E.
“There is no reason why pro-marriage homes, small businesses, corporations, apartment owners, schools or churches should continue to support a company like PG&E that is so opposed to the preservation of marriage,” said Brad Dacus, President of Pacific Justice Institute. “When one also realizes the large historic savings for those who switch, this really becomes a no-brainer. It is just a matter of getting out the information to the many who are simply unaware of their rights under law.”
To switch today from PG&E to another natural gas provider, go to: http://www.tigernaturalgas.com/pge.php
Please feel free to share this timely communication to anyone who may object to utility companies choosing to financially oppose the preservation of marriage.

This is just one action that we can take in the discussion. I understand several thousand people have opted out of PG&E because of their stand and funding the opposition to marriage.
There is also a need to educate folks on the effects of this proposition failing. Helping others register to vote is also a good idea. We must always remember that there are only two kinds of people in the world: Those of us that were lost and now are found, and those who are still lost. We need to focus our love and attention on the lost. May God help us in this endeavor. The church needs to speak boldly and lovingly in support of Christian Marriage, Holy Matrimony
I truly hope things are better for you. I’ll remember you in my prayers tonight. God bless!
In reality the dangerous comments point out the seriousness of this issue and others equally as important. I see the ultimate solution being the same for both sides, as there is no room for compromise from either side or all is lost. The left is just a bit more open and obnoxious about the ultimate solution.
