Contact Maine's Senate Judiciary Committee to Pass the Marriage Equality Bill

From Queers United:

The Maine Senate Judiciary Committee held a public hearing yesterday on LD 1020 the bill to reverse the state ban on same-sex marriage and open up the institution to gay and lesbian couples. 3,000 people packed the University of Maine campus to speak as proponents or opponents of the bill, in a heated 14 hour long event.

The committee will convene again on Tuesday, April 28th, and it is critical that they hear more testimonies and opinions of those in favor of full marriage rights.


Maine residents can send a message to their representatives through the Equality Maine
form.

All Americans should also contact all 14 reps on the
Senate Judiciary Committee and urge them to vote in favor of LD 1020.

Check out the footage from Maine's public hearing on the bill.
