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.

Be of good cheer. God is not mocked.
I say again, THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT CATHOLIC, they are apostate, self excommunicated by there own action, enemies of the Church, and WOLVES PROWLING IN THE CLOTHING OF THE SHEEP.
We know them now. Jesus had them among His own. God had them in Heaven itself, thus the fall to earth of Lucifer Angus evil dominion.
And we shall have them in betrayers and schismatics, until the Day of the Lord.
Maybe the 52 can do some volunteer work at a local abortion clinic....
I really like the idea of traveling to observe. At the Fairfax County (VA) phone bank in 2008 we had a troup of foreign journalists come through. They could also observe polling places, door knocking, etc. Participate? I’m not with that.
I hope none of the Ohioans decide to “discuss” the Canuck’s interference into our elections.
The tone of the article suggests that the students were being forced by the teacher. One of the students was against it and spoke out on condition of being anonymous.
I’m thinking that Catholic should have quotes around it. You cannot be Catholic and support Obama, period. He not only supports things that are antithetical to the Catholic faith, but he actively pushes them! I really believe that a vote for that man would be a Mortal sin.
I imagine Freerepublic, as well as others may have had a hand in this...
Again: The school has cancelled this trip
The updated article now displays this as the first line:
Update: 11/01/12 at 2:55pm EST - LifeSiteNews.com has just been informed that the trip to Ohio has been cancelled.
I wonder if the school is looking for a replacement for Mr. Searle at this time...
