First, we started to confront the Catholic politicians, gave them literature about abortion and an article from the OUR SUNDAY VISITOR which stated that you can not be Catholic and a Democrat because of the: abortion, homosexuality, and same sex marriages issues. Needless to say they did not like what we had to say. Gubernatorial Candidate/Woodbridge Mayor Jim McGreevey and Congressman Bill Pascrell are Catholic.
Then they sicked the dogs on us, none other than Miles Fienstein, New Jersey's top criminal lawyer, multi millionaire, who has represented most of the gangsters arrested in the state. He asked us to leave. Remember the sign said "All are Welcome" and what happened to our 1st amendment.
So we went onto the Monastery property where they could not throw us out. The monastery facilitated this event by allowing the abortionists to park on their property. Seems they have an agreement with the owners next door to share their properties for parking for different events. This time the Brother Superior should have said "NO"
We stood at the entrance with our anti-abortion signs, passing out literature and asked "Are you Catholic" "Then you can't go in there, Jim McGreevey is an abortionist" Most of the participants were Catholic, i.e., Hispanic, Polish and Italian.
We had Freepers, members of the Right to Life, and www.catholicvote.org there protesting.
Why were on-duty Passaic County Sheriffs officers there to listen to the Passaic County Democrat Candidate Jerry Speziale speak? Shouldn't have they been on duty protecting and serving the public? I guess not. Getting their candidate in was more important than public safety.
There were 3 off-duty Clifton Police officers there. I wonder if they were hired because of us? They can carry guns, we can not.
We were definitely a thorn in their sides
The best part is when Roman Catholic, Blessed Sacrament Church, Paterson, Parishioner, Congressman Bill Pascrell walked in from behind us smiling and shaking our hands until he saw our signs, "Boy was he ever ashamed and embarrassed!!" He clamed up and walked away fast with his head down. Remember, he has a 75% pro-abortion record according to the www.all.org voter's guide, Great Catholic, huh. And remember "theBeacon" the official newspaper of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Paterson had a front page story about Pascrell when he became a Congressman, touting his Italian/Catholic background, Barf alert, Catholicbeacon@aol.com
It was a good day and we got our point across.
And to add insult to injury, WE SNUCK IN AND ATE THEIR FOOD. DEMONSTRATING CREATES AN APPETITE. THE EGGPLANT WAS GREAT.
