October 30, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – An Ottawa-area mom says she is “incensed” that a teacher at her daughter’s Catholic school has organized a trip to Ohio in the final days of the U.S. election to support the re-election of President Obama.
Fifty-two students from St. Peter’s and St. Matthew’s high schools in Ottawa are set to make the trek across the border this week to Boardman, Ohio, accompanied by civics teacher Scott Searle.
Ohio is considered a key swing state in the presidential election.
Calls by LifeSiteNews to St. Peter’s school were directed to the school board. A media spokesperson at the board denied that the students would be involved in supporting the Obama campaign. Instead the goal of the trip is simply to “observe” voter registration and the voting process, said Communications Officer Mardi de Kemp.

I think this is outrageous -- especially since Catholics need to be opposed to Obama based on his stand on "Baby Killing" (how Obama strongly supports Baby Killing). Email: info@ocsb.ca

Canada Ping!
I imagine some folks are going to hear about this if it stays as a highly visible Freerepublic story...
Are the kids volunteering or being punished? How did the students get picked and what do the parents say about it?
I sure hope that they don’t show up on my porch.
WTF!
Email on the way.
Catholics in canada must be different from catholics in the United States.
Here we don’t agree with killing fetus’s
We don’t agree with Homosexual marriage
We don’t believe we should pay for any womans contraceptives.
We believe in Freedom of Religion, bot religions being taxed to pay for abortions abortificents or Contraceptives.
Are you sure this is a Catholic school? Does your Priest know what you are up to? Does he agree with it?
Searle currently lists “volunteer” with “Obama for America” on his LinkedIn profile for 2012.
As well as he’s for same-sex marriage and at war with freedom of religion in our Constitution.
Be sure to let them vote too. /sarc
Any “Catholic” school that helps the Obamadorkfelon is NOT a Catholic school.
Get your kids outta there pronto.
May as well send them to a shi...er...sharia school.

I’m beginning to believe there’s really no turning back for organized Christianity. The Church may survive, but the “Church,” as such, has become the habitation of devils.
I think if the Bishops of Ohio were asked or the Bishops of Ontario, they would say it is wrong what this school is doing.
In many parts of Christianity, the hierarchy is going in the right direction.
It is people like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden telling Catholics they have "the freedom" to believe whatever they want -- be Cafeteria Catholics -- without any consequences.
The general issue of foreign involvement in American presidential politics is a potentially huge issue-especially when an administration has potentially transferred trillions offshore...
Can’t they be deported for interfering with free elections?
Very stupid. The Catholic church is the left’s first enemy. Leftists and jihadis want to wipe it off the face of the earth.
It’s very frustrating trying to explain things to liberals. They literally have no clue what we are saying!
Urban Canadian lefties love Obama, I want to scream when I listen to these pukes. Praying that Obama loses and we can have a good friend for Steven Harper to work with. Harper and Obama do NOT get along.

Catholic, huh? Crossing the border. Any reaction from the local bishop?
UN Voter observers are being threatened with arrest in Texas and I forget whatever state (if they get within a certain distance of polling places).
