68,000+ Signatures On Repealing The Anti-Voting Law ! YES !
57000 needed. Got 68000 submitted yesterday which was the official deadline for the November ballot. But, MORE are still coming in. Proud to say I helped gather about 130 signatures. 90+% of people asked were signing the petitions. FASTEST signature gathering, I think, in Maine history. People everywhere expressed contempt for LePage. This is great.

Now we need to donate and campaign like hell to WIN the vote in November. The RePUKES will be out with lots of money from their corporate masters spreading LIES and trying to say we have vote fraud problem in Maine. So we need all hands on deck to send a loud and clear message to LePUKE and the PUKES that we are not going to let them destroy democracy in Maine.

1. GOTV, baby!
Our work has just begun now.

It's wonderful so many signatures were obtained in so short a time. I think the GOP is stunned over this. They never expected us to get those sigs. Sorry, Charlie!!!

But it'll be hard work between now and November. So much for an "off-year."

4. No frigging way they will "throw out" 11000 signatures. Town clerks verify FIRST.
Edited on Tue Aug-09-11 12:14 PM by RBInMaine
Remember, town and city clerks verify all signatures BEFORE they go the Sec. of State's office. Also, NEVER have they dismissed over 11000 signatures. There would be a lawsuit shitstorm if they tried. Pluse, several thousand more are still coming in. That means even if they tried, enough more would be there to get it into the next election cycle. But no worries. They would be INSANE to try it. And yes, lawyers are ready for ANY shinanigans from the dirty tricksters.
