I want to offer Congratulations and Kudos to Equality Maine!

I heard on the radio this fine morning that they announced that they've collected enough signatures to place the right to marriage licenses for same sex couples as a question on the 2012 ballot.

Equality Maine has been working very hard for the last several years advocating for LGBT rights in Maine and defending them from the venomous assaults of "christian" and rightist groups like the Maine "christian" civic league.

When we voted last Tuesday, my wife and I were proud and happy to add our signatures to this petition. We will certainly be proud and happy to stand with our LGBT friends next year to finally attain full equality for all Maine citizens!

PEACE!

1. 35,000 signatures collected on Election Day

The goal was only 8,000.

Congratulations, indeed. The total collected is now over 100,000.

2. A few things to say to that, like...

...:bounce: :toast: :grouphug: :fistbump: :headbang: :yourock: :woohoo: :patriot: !!!!!

After getting this on the ballot and the success last Tuesday in getting the bagger legislature's & governor's voter suppression efforts overturned, do you want to bet that the righties will start calling for the elimination of the "People's Veto"?

PEACE!
