Description

Marriage equality is under attack in Maine, and no matter where you live, there's something you can do about it.

Far right extremists have imported their national anti-equality agenda to the Pine Tree state with the goal of stripping away marriage rights. The same group that bankrolled Prop 8 in California has set up shop in Maine and has out fundraised the local effort by 2-1.

Despite that, polls show fairness is winning by a slim margin, thanks to the local grassroots No On 1 effort to protect Maine equality.

We can't leave them alone to stand their ground. We need to rally to support the local effort! No matter where you live, there is a way to help win this fight.

**All you need is a phone and a computer with an internet connection. No long distance fees, no dialing- the web-based software does it all.**

With 500 people ACROSS AMERICA, donating 2.5 hours of time, we can accomplish 1250 volunteer hours!

This is a VIRTUAL PHONE BANK on Sunday, September 27th to SAVE MAINE FROM RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS, and pave the way for a repeal of Proposition 8 in California!

D APetition StarterI worked my tail off to help get Pres. Obama elected, and to have Prop 8 rejected (clearly that part was unsuccessful). I have my BA in Political Science and would like to return to school to pursue my Master's in Social Work and a JD in a dual program from San Diego State University and Cal-Western School of Law. Despite being single, and 39 years old, I believe that it is important for me to fight for marriage equality not only here in California, but also on the national level. I know that there will come a day when I find Mr. Right again, and would like our family to be recognized by our government as a true family unit free from the current institutionalized discrimination ingrained in our government.
