Today we reached New Hampshire, the Granite State. In considerably cooler weather, we campaigned for traditional marriage in Nashua, near City Hall.The response was positive for the most part, with constant honking. It was good to meet local friends who came out to the intersection to support the effort. God bless them.
Three police cars arrived. For some unknown reason, they decided that our rally was blocking the sidewalk, interfering with pedestrian traffic, although the sidewalks were empty. "You need a permit to do this," they insisted. "If you don't leave, we'll write you up for disorderly conduct," the officer said. It was already nearing lunch time, so we moved on.
A woman pulled up to the curb where TFP member Mr. Gregory Escaro stood: "Be careful, I might run you over," she said.
Another disagreeable thing happened. As we got into our van, a car pulled up beside us. The woman inside the vehicle spat on our windows and doors, and then sped away. We visited a car wash and cleaned if off.
Snow fell intermittently during the afternoon. Its beauty added a new note of challenge, enhancing the campaign. The honking for traditional marriage kept up at a good rate for the duration of the rally.
Thank you for your prayers. We need them as we press forward to defend God-ordained marriage in New Hampshire.
Saint Joseph, patron of our tour, pray for us!Related:

The good fight has begun for you. You are facing opposition from those who would prefer not to know the truth. As the apostles were joyful for being worthy of persecution for "The sake of the name" of Jesus, so you are under persecution for your commitment to bringing the truth to light. There is no victory without a fight but the GOOD NEWS is that Christ has already guaranteed the VICTORY.

The battle is only beginning for you. There are those who wish not to know the truth and as a result will do anything they can to persecute those who are defenders of the truth. The apostles were persecuted in the Acts of the apostles for preaching Jesus but as Gamaliel the leading Rabbi at the time had stated to the Jewish leaders, "If this is of God then you are only fighting against God." the apostles rejoiced that they were found "worthy of persecution for the sake of the name." You are being persecuted for the truth that Jesus proclaimed. The Good News is that Jesus has already guaranteed the VICTORY.
