In an unusual move called a People's Veto, Maine residents are being given a chance to roll back the legislature's approval of homosexual "marriage."
Stand for Marriage Maine spokesman Bob Emrich says pro-family forces have been outspent by $1.5 million dollars by proponents of homosexual marriage. According to Emrich, the money is not coming from Maine supporters of homosexual marriage. "They have been receiving money from all over the country. I think that they received money from 47 different states," he said, "[from] organizations like Act Blue, Californians for Equality, GLADD Human Rights Commission." Emrich says same-sex marriage has been an agenda driven by people outside of Maine from the beginning. So it is no surprise to him that out-of-state money is being used to convince Maine residents to retain the law. In fact, Emrich says 150 volunteers from other states are on hand to stop the People's Veto, but he is hopeful. "If you put all the polls together, they show it just about a dead-even race right now," Emrich explains. "I fully expect that we will prevail, [that] the voters will decide to protect traditional marriage -- but it's going to be a tough battle." In the short time before voters see Question 1 on the November 3 ballot, Emrich says Stand for Marriage Maine certainly needs more funds for advertising, but first and foremost, they covet nationwide prayer.
