On Monday, the anti-gay forces in Maine, led by the the Catholic Bishop Richard Malone, launched another ad filled with lies and the usual scare tactics. That ad cited the book, “Who’s In a Family?,” to keep pushing the false idea that schools will teach same-sex marriage. But, that book is about all families and, today, No on 1 hit back. The campaign launched a powerful rebuttal, which encouraged people to actually read the book:
The No on 1 side isn’t letting any attack from the anti-gay side go unanswered. The No on 1 ActBlue page has raised $916,000. The progressive and LGBT blogs are trying to hit the goal of $1 million by October 15th. AMERICAblog’s ActBlue page is here. The other side is throwing everything they’ve got at us. But, we’ve got a kick-ass campaign that is playing to win. Help us win.
