Greetings,

Marriage equality is under attack in Maine, and no matter where you live, there's something you can do about it.

Far right extremists have imported their national anti-equality agenda to the Pine Tree state with the goal of stripping away marriage rights.

The same group that bankrolled Prop 8 in California has set up shop in Maine and has out-fundraised the local effort by a margin of 2 to 1.

Despite that fact, polls show fairness is winning by a slim margin, thanks to the local grassroots No On 1 campaign to protect Maine equality.

But we can't leave them alone to stand their ground. We need to rally to support the local effort.

No matter where you live, there is a way you can help win this fight.

Equality Texas, along with our colleagues who make up the Equality Federation, have set a goal of enlisting  500 people across the country to donate 2.5 hours to call Maine voters using a virtual phone bank this Sunday, September 27th, 2009.

To participate, all you need is a phone and a computer with an internet connection. No long distance fees, no dialing----the web-based software does it all.

Sign up as an organization or as an individual and you will get all the information you need to be a part of the September 27th Maine Day of Action.

Yours for equality,

Equality Texas advocates and lobbies for the elimination of discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity/expression. We envision a state where all Texans are treated equally, with dignity and respect.

Equality Federation exists to help build stronger more effective statewide equality organizations--organizations on the ground day-after-day, year-after-year, pushing for LGBT-friendly laws, electing lgbt-friendly legislators, defending against anti-equality attacks, and maintaining a constant presence for LGBT equality in nearly every state.
