Challenge to Maine gay marriage law filed (Portland Press Herald)

AUGUSTA -- Maine election officials say a formal challenge is being filed to the same-sex marriage law.

Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap said today opponents filed a challenge under Maine's people's veto provision Wednesday, the same day Gov. John Baldacci signed the gay marriage bill. Dunlap says the challengers have been asked to complete their application.

Petitions seeking repeal of the law will then be printed so opponents can begin collecting voters' signatures. They must collect signatures amounting to at least 10 percent of those who voted in the last gubernatorial election in order to force a people's veto referendum in November. The signature deadline will likely fall in mid-September.


We knew this would happen.

Please help support this organization in anyway you can to help fight the opposition.

2. They do, but they will word it in a most confusing way to be sure.

I despise Michael Heath and his bunch of haters. He was all over the news yesterday. :(
