This election is going to be critical and the importance of Democrats keeping control of the Governor’s Office, the House, and the Senate cannot be overstated. The Maine Republican Party recently announced their platform which includes opposition to abortion rights, and same-sex marriage as well as prohibiting sexually-based material of any kind to students prior to 12th grade. I don’t know about you, but those ideas frighten me. I want to be re-elected so I can add my voice to this never-ending hate-filled rhetoric. To do this, I need help raising funds!
