Update on Protect Maine Equality / No On Question 1

Protect Maine Equality/ No On 1 is the organization devoted to protecting the hard-fought right to marry won by legislative enactment followed by gubernatorial assent in May 2009.

Campaign manager Jesse Connolly sent out this appeal for funds in the next 48 hours:

Can you believe in only 34 days, the people of Maine can start voting to protect marriage equality? I received a note today from a very generous anonymous Mainer who wants to challenge you directly.

Here's the deal - of we can raise $10,000 by Friday, he'll double it. That means we'll have $20,000 to protect marriage equality.

Donate today to double your impact.

If you donate $250, then it becomes $500.

If you donate $100, then it becomes $200.

But we only have until Friday to make good on this match. We need to make $10,000 and I know we can do it.

And now is the time. Your donation is - literally - three times more valuable now, in the early days of the campaign, than it is at the end. And that's exactly why our opponents have tapped out-of-state, anti-gay groups like Focus on the Family and National Organization for Marriage who have already poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into Maine.

Now is the time. Double your money. Double your impact. Donate today and help us make this Friday match count.

Thank you,

Jesse Connolly
