Fresh off yesterday's positive ad, here's today's fear-mongering, with the homophobes Stand for Marriage Maine campaign returning to the schools theme:
I have to honestly say that this ad and yesterday's are two of the strongest, if not the strongest, ads I've seen yet from our opponents. And the fact that they're coming just a few days away from Tuesday, Election Day, really scares me. The opposition is pouring it on- they also went to the statehouse yesterday to hold a presser with groups like Americans for Truth that made its way into the local media.
I'm going back up myself on Saturday and will be there for the duration for GOTV. I just got off the phone with campaign folks, who shared this ad and said there is still a major need for calls and volunteers. The campaign is even providing free housing if you sign up to drive to Maine. If you can't drive, you can call from home.
I am not exaggerating when I say that after watching this entire thing, between yesterday's and today's ads, and the presser, this is the strongest I've seen our opposition play ball in the entire campaign. Please help out.
In Kalamazoo, where Karl-Thomas from Burnt Orange Report is on the ground, he just told me their opposition is going back on the air this weekend. Inspired by yesterday's 3-2-1 Countdown for Equality push around the blogosphere, they have a donor match of up to $5,000. Chip in to see our side's response and help get it on the air. And in Washington State, where there's also a very tough race, they also need help making phone calls to voters.
Six days left. Let's pour it on.
Update: The new DailyKos poll out today has No on 1 at 48%, our opponents at 47%. To quote Phish fans, this thing is tighter than a mosquito's ass.
