New Maine Ad Asks Voters to See For Themselves

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).

This morning, not only did our side agree to that challenge, we kicked it up a notch in response:

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.

Defense / Offense (0.00 / 0)
I would like to see the Yes On 1 Campaign on defense for once, instead of the No-campaign.

Something along the lines of: "Our opponents think your sexuality is a choice. That you were born bisexual and that at some point in your adolescence or early adulthood you chose to be gay; others to be heterosexual, and a few didn't chose at all and stayed bisexual.

What's next? Do they want our kids to learn in school that sexuality is a choice? Do they also want our kids to make an informed decision and learn about the pros and cons of each choice?"


cont. (0.00 / 0)
That ad should ofcourse end with a message about how love isn't something you can choose from a candystore.

Making it clear that their side is solely obsessed with the sex part of love, while our side recognizes that love is far more than sex alone.
