Vote NO on 1

In Maine, there was an anti-discrimination extension to peoples of all sexual orientations passed the Maine Legislature in March of 2005 with support from a strong bipartisan majority in both houses of the Maine Legislature. Now, its being put up for repeal on the ballot.

There have been some yes on 1 stickers places, namely on this guy's bag I saw today at breakfast. I grimaced a little to the people I was sitting with and started talking about the voting issue and such. The guy with the sticker (which is red, white, and blue of course, the whole NO on 1 campaign is green and white. Just and observation.) is standing at the grill when my order is called up. I go up and have to walk past the Yes guy. I get back to the table to one of my fellow liberals pointing out that he was checking me out at the grill. Personally, I think he was reading the back of my shirt, but none the less, it was pretty ironic. How might that pick up go?

Yes guy: So, do you want to go out? Watch Armageddon, get some pie maybe?
Me: Erm, I vote NO on you.

Vote NO on 1 in Maine on November 8th
