Under threat of heavy rainfall and severe thunderstorms, Tradition, Family, Property—Louisiana (TFPLA) continued its southern caravan in defense of the Ten Commandments. On July 22, the TFPLA volunteers pressed forward and took to the streets of Biloxi, Mississippi. Thumbs up and enthusiastic honks filled the air.

Later that same day, the caravan of activists traversed back to the State of Louisiana, where the freshly passed bill enshrining the Ten Commandments in public schools and buildings is still the topic of intense debate.

Acadiana Supports the Ten Commandments

With much training, TFPLA volunteers in the South have practiced setting up their banner, TFP standard, and signs. They are ready to go in a swift 22 seconds.

In Lafayette, Louisiana, the instant the honk signs were made visible, the locals began laying on their horns. It was apparent from the smiles on people’s faces that the Ten Commandments are respected and wanted in Acadiana. The caravan also was able to present the public with the TFP’s new flier giving ten reasons why America needs the Ten Commandments. One young man even got out of his car and ran across the street through traffic to grab one.

While Cajuns positively support the Ten Commandments, some expressed their hatred, going as far as throwing a can of sparkling water at one of our young volunteers.

TFP Campaign as a Beacon of Hope

The campaign also stopped at Lake Charles, Louisiana. A woman, when offered a flier, had thought that the Ten Commandments were banned from the schools, but let out a sigh of relief when she found out the contrary.

One man with many tattoos, honked and waved in support from his car. A few moments later, he walked up and expressed how happy he was to see the TFP. He mentioned that he watched the TFP Student Action videos and wanted to thank the members in person.

He mentioned how this country started to go downhill with the passing of same-sex “marriage” under Obama, and agreed with TFPLA President Thomas Drake about the need for America’s moral conversion.

Next Battleground: The Great State of Texas

Louisiana’s Ten Commandments Law is motivating other states like Texas to enact similar laws. That’s why the next stop of the TFPLA’s southern caravan will seek to bolster support and encourage Texans to rise to the occasion, upholding and honoring God’s law publicly.

Day two of the caravan of Tradition, Family, Property – Louisiana (TFPLA) was exciting.

From a Convent to the Streets

Our group of young activists was appearing in the public square in defense of the Ten Commandments.  The morning of July 22 found us in the Convent of the Sisters of the Visitation in Mobile, Alabama. The schedule began with prayers and a hearty breakfast. The summer humidity welcomed us with a warm embrace as we loaded our banners and signs into the van, and set off in search of a large intersection.

Our first campaign was well received. Most passers-by seemed pleasantly surprised at the spectacle of young men in suits with a banner that read “The Ten Commandments Matter.”

Alabamans Proclaim the Fifth Commandment: Thou Shall not Kill!

As lunch time rolled around, we decided to head downtown and try our “honk against abortion” banner. With Alabama being a sanctuary state for the unborn, we expected a positive reaction. And indeed, it was. Passing cars honked in support, Government workers leaving the courthouse took our “Ten Reasons Against Abortion” flyer. One man exclaimed, “This is exactly what we need! This is why we are in the mess we are now, is because we have allowed the mass murder of children!”

A Mother Proves that High-Risk Pregnancy Does not Justify Abortion

A lady walking with her toddler spoke at length with a TFPLA volunteer. She mentioned that she had driven by the campaign three times, honking in support. However, she felt the need to get out and participate. She shared her story of how she was suffering with a high-risk pregnancy, and the advice of the doctors was to “just end the pregnancy” because the baby “would never survive.”

The baby that “would never survive” was holding her hand as she spoke, healthy and smiling, proof that killing the child is never the solution, nor the right “choice.”

The Bagpipes Bring Support

Before wrapping up, another woman exclaimed; “I just had to come and see where the bagpipes were coming from. We can hear you all on the fourth floor where I work,” pointing to the courthouse building. “Is it okay if I get a picture? I love what you are doing!”

Rest to Campaign Another Day

To wrap up the day, we drove back to the prior intersection. A golden sunset peeking through billowing clouds, a light mist and a cool breeze provided a welcome respite from the relentless afternoon heat. Honks of support came from the traffic by the hundreds, and some drivers shouted in support. We were praying the rosary when, without warning, the mist turned into heavy rain and we were forced to retreat to the van and return to the Visitation Convent where we found a hot, hearty dinner waiting for us.

The Ten Commandments are now at the center of a raging debate in American society. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry recently signed a bill that calls for displaying these God-given rules in every public school building and classroom in the state.

Tradition, Family, Property – Louisiana (TFPLA) is kicking off its Southern caravan of street campaigns to support the law throughout the second half of July. This Ten Commandments tour will be covering a large swath of southern territory, from Alabama to New Mexico, promoting the bill throughout the states. America needs the Ten Commandments now more than ever.

The Two Standards: God vs. Satan

Saint Ignatius of Loyola states in his Spiritual Exercises that all people must choose between two battle standards. They must either serve under the battle standard of God, or that of Satan.

The TFP activists will be warning the public that there is no middle ground. The Ten Commandments define a way of living that challenges everyone to take a side. One is either for or against them.

Spiritual Preparations

Before beginning the battle, the TFP volunteers spiritually prepared themselves by visiting the Shrines of Blessed Seelos and Our Lady of Prompt Succor. The Ten Commandments Southern tour was placed under the protection of the Mother of God. After praying a final rosary and lighting a votive candle, the caravan set off.

54 Years since Miraculous Tears of Fatima

The first stop was New Orleans, Louisiana. The caravan symbolically began 54 years after the International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima first wept miraculous tears in the very same city on July 17, 1972.

Braving the summer heat and notorious Louisiana humidity, TFP volunteers boldly campaigned at a busy intersection in Metairie with a banner proclaiming, “The Ten Commandments Matter!” with an image of Moses holding the stone tablets. Immediately the honks resounded! Big smiles and enthusiastic waves set the tone for the TFP caravan.

While a massive show of support came flooding in, there were also those who expressed hatred for the moral foundation of all law that has guided humanity for thousands of years.

Obscene gestures, screams of disgust and even a few abominable cries of “Hail Satan” were the reactions of those who opposed the campaign.

One man rolled down his car window and said, “We shouldn’t have the Ten Commandments in school! How do you explain adultery to a child?”

TFP Volunteer Anthony Atilano replied, “You don’t have to explain that specific sin to the children, but what’s wrong with explaining ‘Thou shalt not kill’ or ‘Thou shalt not steal’ to them?”

The signs that engaged and encouraged the public to take a side read, “Honk for the Ten Commandments, Honk Against Atheism, Honk: Defend God’s Law, and Keep America’s Honor True.”

God’s Law Protects Society from Chaos and Anarchy

“Chaos and desolation! Rotten fruits of a Godless nation!” proclaimed TFP Volunteer Alvaro Zapata while the rest of the young men replied, “Keep America Strong! Defend the Ten Commandments!”

This chaos and desolation describes so many aspects of America where these laws of God are ignored. The American TFP is fighting for the public display and reverence of the Ten Commandments so that the nation will not sink into the depths of depravity. Only then will society function in true peace and harmony.
