The Yes On 1 campaign in Maine has a stupid new ad:
I'm no ad expert, but the ad asks readers to focus on too many things at once, and seems to be an attempt at creating a tit-for-tat over the "whether marriage will be taught in schools" issue. The Yes On 1 side knows they're lying, as the Maine Department of Education itself said through a spokesperon that state law does not affect local curricula, and that Maine is not Massachusetts. Multiple newspapers have stated that Yes On 1 is lying. But if they want to burn their dollars through fear, go right ahead.
Our side, on the other hand, is pushing out some smart and useful resources. Here in DC this weekend, there's a big march. Instead, I'll be spending Saturday night raising money for Maine (if you're in DC, come on by!), and Sunday doing calls to Maine voters from my computer. You can join. Courage Campaign has set up an easy tool to sign up for a time block. If you don't have any money to contribute, and can't take time to get to Maine, you can sit right at home, put the baseball playoffs on mute, and ask some Maine voters to support equality.
If you can get some time off, or are self-employed, head on up to Maine. Because of generous contributions from folks like you, I'll be up there Oct. 14-23. Travel For Change, which helped Obama volunteers travel to swing states, is making it possible to join me- even if you don't have a lot of funds. Come on up and join. If you need incentives, I have multiple hilarious stories of Mike Lux and I on book tour to share with you over a beer.
