You guys are wonderful. Thank you for representing the west coast in Boston!
Why on earth are you going all the way out to Natick?
I loved David Limbaugh's line about what one has to believe to support Kerry:
"Life begins at conception, but so what!"

MEDIA SUING TO OPEN KERRY'S SEALED DIVORCE PAPERS
More Bias and spin in the many newspaper articles to protect the liberal democrat. Kerry provided NO evidence of an annulment and he was married to Heinz, his second wife worth Billions, in the back yard of a home on Martha's Vineyard which is not ordinarily allowed for Catholics and there is also NO evidence of any RC priest who married them.
I wish the reporters would question him for the truth. Dream on.

Catholics Against Kerry
1400 Ecclesial communities derived from the Reformation and separated from the Catholic Church, "have not preserved the proper reality of the Eucharistic mystery in its fullness, especially because of the absence of the sacrament of Holy Orders."236 It is for this reason that Eucharistic intercommunion with these communities is not possible for the Catholic Church. However these ecclesial communities, "when they commemorate the Lord's death and resurrection in the Holy Supper . . . profess that it signifies life in communion with Christ and await his coming in glory."237
Can. 844 §1. Catholic ministers administer the sacraments licitly to Catholic members of the Christian faithful alone, who likewise receive them licitly from Catholic ministers alone, without prejudice to the prescripts of §§2, 3, and 4 of this canon, and ⇒ can. 861, §2.
Sin to vote for pro-abortion politicians?

BOSTON - A federal judge refused Monday to let anti-abortion groups demonstrate in front of Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites)'s Beacon Hill town house.
|
"I'm not going to second-guess the Secret Service's idea of how they feel they need to protect a presidential candidate," U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton said.
The groups had filed a lawsuit contending the city improperly revoked their permits to demonstrate. Operation Rescue and several other anti-abortion groups had planned to pray and lay roses outside Kerry's home during the Democratic National Convention. Kerry supports abortion rights.
Mary Jo Harris, a legal adviser to the Boston Police Department, said the city revoked the permit at the request of the Secret Service, which believed the demonstration zone was too close to Kerry's residence. She said the groups were offered another location about a block from Kerry's house. The groups turned down the offer and said they would likely not appeal the judge's decision.
"The Democratic National Convention should be welcoming free speech, not crushing it," said the Rev. Pat Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition, one of the anti-abortion groups. "It is clear regardless of whatever one's political views are, the First Amendment is not welcome here in Boston during the Democratic National Convention."
The lawsuit, filed on the first day of the Democrats' four-day convention at the FleetCenter, was the latest by protest groups seeking greater flexibility in where and when they can stage their demonstrations during the convention.
Also on Monday, the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (news - web sites) in Boston refused to make any changes to the fenced-in demonstration area near the FleetCenter. Civil libertarians and activist groups had sued the city, saying that confining the protests to the cramped area violates their First Amendment rights. A lower court judge had dismissed their complaint, saying unique security concerns presented by the convention made it necessary to confine the protests.
In the demonstration zone itself, several dozen protesters gathered Monday to complain about the conditions there.
Members of a group calling itself Save Our Civil Liberties quietly walked around the protest area wearing black hoods, their hands bound behind their backs with yellow cord. One protester wearing combat boots and a red Democratic National Committee (news - web sites) T-shirt ordered them to walk, kneel and hop on one foot.
David Meieran, 42, of Pittsburgh, said they were trying to draw comparisons between the government's treatment of terrorism suspects and political protesters.
Elsewhere in the city, Buddhists held a silent vigil for peace at the Holocaust Memorial near Faneuil Hall, and rowdy supporters of perennial presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche (news - web sites) began singing loudly on a subway car, mocking DNC volunteers on board.
Across town, about 150 members of the Bl(A)ck Tea Society, a self-described anarchist group, gathered for protests, starting with a two-hour rally on the Boston Common, a 50-acre park once used for public hangings.
About 15 speakers railed against the Iraq (news - web sites) War, U.S. drug policy and the imprisonment of American Indian activist Leonard Peltier before the group set off on a march through the Back Bay neighborhood. One protester collapsed, apparently from the heat, and was treated on the scene by an EMS crew.
