MoneyBomb for Maine: Help us hit $1.1 million on ActBlue by Oct. 15th

Gang, we've been raising money furiously for the marriage effort in Maine. As you probably already know, the same religious right groups who passed Prop 8 in California, along with their friends in the Catholic Church, have launched an all-out effort to repeal marriage equality in Maine. Joe, who is from Maine, has really taken the lead online, early on, to get all of us involved in this effort. We've already raised $33,000 for Maine on our blog (thank you, everyone, for donating), and online all together, the Maine effort has raised over $1 million. That's a lot of organizing and PR in a state the size of Maine.

But we need more. And we need it by October 15th, just two days from now.

One of the problems with the Prop 8 fight was that a lot of much-needed money came in at the very end. Which, honestly, is too late. The campaign needs to know how much money it will have in the final weeks, so they can budget the media, and all their other efforts, accordingly. If you're going to help out, if you're going to help out again, please do it now rather than in three weeks, right before the election.

Joe can explain far better than I why all of this matters, and he does so here. So please, if you can, click on the thermometer above and help us reach our goal of $50,000. Here is Joe at a Maine fundraiser this weekend here in DC:
