Protect Maine Equality

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to post a quick post before I headed off to bed since I got to get up at the butt crack of dawn to go to work. As I get ready for bed I decided to check on the latest polls from Maine and Washington.

Let me talk about Maine first. I have touch base on Question 1 in Maine. This item on is similar to Proposition 8 that happened in California. If Question 1 passes, it will take away the equal marriage that the LGBT community won in that state. As of writing this post, the polls showed with 64% reporting, Yes: 51.7% No: 48.3%. It has been close all night and I am saddened that I must go to bed before the final tally is in.

Now on to Washington's Referendum 71. This bill is a little more confusing. Because if you vote no for this one, then you are voting against keeping the domestic partnership law. I was informed that Washington passed Referendum 71, but then a few minutes later was told that they my rescind it. I am unable to get a clear cut answer on this one at the moment so when I post the results of Maine in them morning (hopefully) I hope to have this one cleared up too.

We can not let the right wingers to use these as a form of backlash over the hate crimes legislation President Obama signed. They are just pissed off because god forbid everyone has the right to live their lives without getting beat up. (Sorry went on a tangent.)
