Because Freedom Can't Protect Itself.


Because Freedom Can't Protect Itself.

Today, we can make history.  Maine can be the first state in the country to pass marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples at the ballot box.  This is about treating all Maine families with dignity and respect and equal protection under the law.  It's about honoring love and fairness and equality.

The polls are incredibly close.  Question 1 will be decided by voter turn-out.

IT IS UP TO YOU:

1. VOTE NO ON 1.   Let's not repeal equality.  To find your polling place, go here: http://www.protectmaineequality.org/pollingplace.cfm

2. Tell Ten Friends.  You will have more influence over your friends and family members than any campaign ads or volunteer canvassers could have.  Take ten minutes to call or text message ten friends to vote No on 1.  Update your Facebook status and your Twitter with a reminder to all your friends and family members to vote No on 1 to protect Maine equality.

3. Volunteer.  It's not too late.  The MCLU and ACLU of Massachusetts teams will be canvassing York County.  In Portland, phone bankers are still needed to help Get Out the Vote.  Volunteer here: http://www.protectmaineequality.org/page.cfm?ID=142&CFID=33452990&CFTOKEN=74959194

4. Watch the Results.  Follow the MCLU on Twitter and Facebook to get frequent updates on Election Day activities and Election Night results.

5. Celebrate?  Join us at 8 pm at the Holiday Inn by the Bay in Portland for an Election Night Party.  See the invite below. We can celebrate the love we have for all members of our community.

We have come so far.  Many of you have contributed countless hours sharing your stories, lobbying, fundraising, canvassing, phone banking, organizing vigils and rallies. Thank you for all that you have done to support fairness and equality.  Thank you for standing up for marriage equality again today.

See you at the polls, and thanks for all that you do,
Alysia, Brianna, Claire, Edward, Katy, Shenna, Zach
