Reply #24: Yes, I volunteered for Mark Chaupette against Christine Canavan (DINO)

As the Archdiocese of Boston is closing parishes left and right, many Catholics
have taken heroic measures to keep their churches open. There have been
protests. There have been lawsuits. There have even been groups of the faithful
holding vigil inside their churches to keep the doors from being locked. In
this regard, the Catholic community has been extraordinarily united and
resolute.

So, when Saint Margaret Church wanted to hold a Bingo fundraiser, what did
Catholic politician, Rep. Christine Canavan do? She protested,
because it would inconvenience herself and her neighbors on their quiet
dead-end street.

In Ms. Canavan's own words to The Enterprise, "I live on a street with neighbors
who just don't want three solid days of Bingo," she said. "I made phone calls,
that's it. Because I'm a state rep, some could say it's political clout."

This is the same woman who says that those who oppose gay marriage are ignorant
bigots whose arguments have no rational basis, but then she goes on to say, "I
do not have the luxury of voting my conscience."

This is why I am not voting to re-elect Christine Canavan. It is obvious that
Christine Canavan is her own most important constituency. She does not allow
herself the luxury to vote her own conscience, let alone put up with a little
extra noise and traffic to benefit her own church. Chrisine Canavan votes for
what is best for Christine Canavan.

Christine Canavan is a Constituency of One.
