Urgent please help
Last fall I posted several of these post and they dropped as fast as I posted them. We lost CA and now were about to lose Maine. Its time we all wake up and help ensure civil rights remain available for all.

We are about to lose marriage equality in Maine.

http://www.365gay.com/news/vanasco-is-maine-about-to-lose-marriage/

Poll numbers from the Daily Kos suggest that Maine might be about to go the way of California – even though it seems that the state is currently leaning Democratic.

Please donate all that you can afford. Families depend on it.

10. I've never quite understood
... why some people make it THEIR business who someone else
decides to love and make a life with

i've asked this question many times in other forums, and have
YET to recieve anything remotely approaching a satisfactory or
logical answer

"How CAN two consenting adults deciding to be
responsible, committed partners; EVER infringe in ANY way upon
YOUR rights or freedoms?"

12. There is only one answer to that...
fear of the unknown. But no one wants to admit to being afraid.

But we must always remember what were fighting for here is a very basic right - the right to create your own family. Thats something so basic everyone should understand.

14. You WOULD think so
WOULDN'T ya?


what bothers ME is that my "party o' choice", the GOP, which long stood FOR civil rights, is on the WRONG side o' this one today

and if the "best" argument one can raise is "Well, MY God says that...."; imo you have next to NO understanding of that "establishment of religion clause, eh?
