Maine needs your help calling voters to turn them out! The marriage vote is tied up 48-48. It's easy:

Our campaign has been working hard to identify marriage equality supporters across the state. Now, just weeks before the election, we've made our list of likely NO on 1 voters who we need to turn out to the polls-- and it just happens to be the number of votes we need to win.

If you've got a phone and an internet connection, you can be a part of our massive Get Out The Early Vote program. It only takes two hours to make a difference.

To get started, sign up for a training and call shift (right). Or, if you've already done a training, sign up for a call-only shift here. http://action.protectmaineequality.org/signUp.jsp?key=2678

2. New Polling News!!!! (It's good....VERY good)

Majority Want to Keep Maine's Gay Marriage Law, Poll Finds‎

www.mpbn.net/News/MaineNews/tabid/181/ctl/ViewItem/mid/3483/ItemId/9516/Default.aspx

A new poll shows strong support for maintaining the state's new gay marriage law. The poll, conducted last week by Pan Atlantic SMS, also found dwindling support for the tax-and-spending cap initiative known as TABOR 2.

Pan Atlantic's Patrick Murphy says the survey of 400 likely voters found 53 percent opposing Question 1, which would repeal Maine's gay marriage law, while 42 percent favor the measure and six percent remain undecided. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percent.

Murphy says Question 1 is getting a different reaction in Maine's two congressional districts, with voters in the 1st District favoring the measure by a 20 point spread, while voters in the 2nd District remain nearly equally divided. He says among the state's Catholic voters, the measure has a narrow margin of support, 49 to 46 percent.

Up 11 whole points with a week until the election! I think we'll keep our Equal Marriage laws on the books.

of 'Yes' on 1 morans... gave them the thumbs down as we drove by and they started chanting 'one man one woman' and I would SWEAR that wasn't a New England accent I heard....

Keep fighting the good fight guys and gals, we can beat these bigots.
