The Catholic Church and anti-gay hate groups are raising money to fight us. If you can - consider donating money to help fight the hate. From the AMERICAblog ActBlue fundraising page...
This year, Maine's legislature passed marriage equality and Governor John Baldacci signed it into law on May 6, 2009.
In Maine, anyone who can gather enough signatures can force a vote on legislation using the "people's veto." The Catholic Bishop in Maine has teamed up with hard-core anti-gay activists to force a public vote on marriage equality. That referendum will be set for November, 2009. On July 31, the ant-gay forces submitted their signatures.
No on 1/Protect Maine Equality is the campaign that will preserve marriage equality. This will be a cutting-edge effort, which, with our help, will be the first referendum victory for full marriage rights for same-sex couples.
Our side will need resources. The anti-gay forces seem to have an unlimited supply of cash to fight against us. So, please give what you can. In Maine, it really will make a difference.
