GAY MARRIAGE

A summary of my thoughts.
Dear Governor Baldacci,
The proactive cooperation between Maine's national politicians across the political spectrum as well as a determined focus in an area (energy) in which Maine can be a National and International leader is great to see. I congratulate you and others on the level of determination, drive and vision which this embodies.
This can and must be built upon. You need to engage and increasingly trust a broader base of Mainers in regard to the... Read Full Story
