Haven't seen this diaried yet (and honestly a little surprised that the No on 1 folks haven't stopped by with the message) so I thought that I would bring it to all y'alls attention.
This coming Sunday, September 27th, is a National Day of Action for Marriage Equality. As part of that effort, the No On 1 | Protect Maine Equality group is organizing people nationwide to call households in Maine to identify voters supportive of marriage equality so they know who to focus on for Get Out The Vote efforts.
The following is what I received today:
Dear [anima],
What if I told you that you could make history with a phone call?
This Sunday you can, as part of the National Day of Action for Marriage Equality, volunteers from all over the country will help us do one of the most important jobs in any campaign -- identify Maine voters who will vote NO on Question 1.
Your phone call could make the difference. Can you join us on Sunday?
Here's the beauty and simplicity of Sunday's action: all you need is a phone and a computer screen. This campaign is neck-and-neck, but there's good news: it will only take about 250,000 votes to protect marriage equality in Maine.
That means every call you make makes a real difference.
Please, sign up to make phone calls this Sunday as part of the National Day of Action for Marriage Equality.
There's an old saying -- "As Maine goes, so goes the nation." This is the moment. This is the time. But we can't do it alone.
Trust me, these phone calls matter-- they help us identify our supporters so we can turn them out on election day. And you can help.
If you can't make it this Sunday, you can still sign up to our Phone for Maine program to make calls from home at your own convenience.
Landline, cell, iPhone, Blackberry, you pick. But please help us and pick up your phone.
Thank you,
Darlene Huntress
Field Director

Not everybody has money laying around to chip in to the effort, but most people have some free time. If you have a couple hours you can spare this coming Sunday, consider signing up. Right now it's neck and neck in Maine, with both "Yes" and "No" garnering support in the high 40's (47%-48%).
Every vote is going to matter, and as usual it's going to come down to turnout. That's why this effort is so important. Making these calls will allow the folks on the ground to use their time most effectively and turn out the most votes on election day.
