Last night I wrote about the Yes On 1 Campaign's stupid ad trying to push the debunked line that a change in Maine law would force children to learn about marriage equality (the horror).
The ad says to voters "go ahead. We've got nothing to hide. Decide for yourself whether the book teaches Maine values", which is straightforward and honest. Excellent idea.
You just broke through $1,000 in contributions for the No On 1 campaign on our OpenLeft/Better Dems page. Now, we've got a larger goal to help keep ads like these on the air. I'll be heading up to Maine Oct. 14th, and early in-person voting starts the 15th. This thing is winding down to the finish line. The last poll showed us up 51-40. Let's put the nail in the coffin. We're close to $1 million for the campaign all across the netroots. If we can hit $1 million by the day voters start going to the polls on Oct. 15th, that'll help give the campaign the resources to finish the job.
And remember, as Maine goes, so goes the nation. This'll impact marriage contests all across our country. Please chip in below, and thanks for helping out.
