Today I received an urgent plea from the Courage Campaign.
With just six weeks to go until the November 3 election, a poll was just released showing the No on 1 (Marriage Equality in Main) campaign down by two points -- 48 to 46 percent. We can win this, but it's going to take all of us working together to defeat the scaremongers. The opposition has hired Schubert/Flint -- the same consultants who launched and won Prop 8 -- to run the same campaign in Maine. Predictably, they are working from the same playbook to take away marriage equality from Mainers, spreading lies about children in schools and fear about religion.

Remember the California ad last year that tried to scare voters with a lie that their kids would be taught about gay marriage in elementary school? Well, they just replaced the California teacher with a Maine teacher -- only this teacher is a right-wing fanatic that teaches in a conservative Christian private school.
This has to be seen to be believed.
The Maine No on 1 campaign need your help immediately to cover the costs of the response ad buy. They are $30,000 short and need to raise the funds within the next 48 hours. http://www.actblue.com/...

Please make a donation. Even $10 would help, if enough of us contribute.
