The Secretary of State has approved the following question to appear on a Statewide ballot IF enough signatures are submitted from registered Maine voters.

"Do you want to reject the new law that lets same-sex couples marry and allows individuals and religious groups to refuse to perform these marriages?"

This requires a minimum of 55,087 valid signatures to be submitted to the Secretary of State. The petition drive for this is underway. You can help this effort by attending one of the following training sessions for petition circulators. If you need more information, or if you are unable to attend any of these, please contact us at veto1020@gmail.com to find out how to get a petition, gather signatures for petitions, or to find a location where you can sign a petition.

Now that the legislature has adjourned, we have 90 days to submit signatures to the Secretary of State. That means our final deadline is around September 10th. The problem is that waiting that long would mean we could not actually vote until June of 2010. We would much rather have the People's Veto on the November, 2009 ballot.

 
But if we are to get the People's Veto on the November, 2009 ballot, we must turn in the signatures by July 31st. In order to have time to sort & process the petitions, we need you to send them to us by JULY 15th. 

If we do not have enough signatures by the end of July, we will continue gathering them and plan to be on the ballot in June, 2010. 

In other words, we are asking you to fill your petitions within about 30 days. It is an awesome task, but it can be done. 

So, please get us your "Certificate of Registration" as soon as possible.

And then start sending us your completed petitions right away. After you have your petitions notarized, you can send them to us or take them to your town office to have them certified. Either way, the sooner we get them, the better.
 
Please don't stop gathering signatures until you hear from us. There are lots of rumors about the petitions, so don't hesitate to ask us for clarification. 

Again, we thank you for your help. Together, we can make this happen.

Remember to pray often concerning this issue, and to ask all you know who are faithful to pray as well.
