Maine's Homosexual-Rights Bill

The Christian Civic League of Maine hopes voters in that state will once again nullify a bill passed by the legislature and signed by the governor that gives special rights to homosexuals.

This is the third time voters are being called on to stop similar legislation.

Tim Russell, the legislative liaison for the League, says the state's voters will have to use the "people's veto" once again on November 8. He explains that his organization, along with the Maine Grassroots Coalition, gathered the required number of signatures to get the veto measure before the voters. According to Russell, if the bill is not vetoed, it will pave the way for homosexual "marriage" in the state of Maine.

"The governor, in fact, said that he was for homosexual marriage -- but just not now," Russell says. "This highlights the fact that they need this law on the books to make it an easier trip through the legal system." He adds that it is clear that if the law is passed -- and with the presence of a liberal judiciary -- it is "a matter of just bringing suit and letting the judiciary declare homosexual marriage legal in Maine."

Like Florida, and Texas, Maine voters need to get out and be COUNTED!
