Wear green, be a rebel.

PROTEST "YES ON 1"
Wednesday, October 5th - 4 to 6 PM
Masterton Hall Steps
USM Portland Campus

Mike Heath, Executive Director of Christian Civic League and the leader on the campaign to make discrimination legal, will be speaking on campus to tell people why we should ALLOW discrimination in Maine. We will stand on the steps of Masterton to let everyone know that we will not be fooled by scare tactics and disillusionment. We need to make it clear that USM is not going to allow discrimination to happen.

When asked to move their venue to a larger space where everyone could participate, the "YES on 1" campaign said NO! We were also told that our questions must be submitted before hand to be asked at the event! They are not supporting FAIRNESS, OPEN DISCUSSION, or EDUCATION at USM!

We will show Mike Heath that the "NO on 1" campaign is about doing the right thing - making discrimination illegal. Please join us on the steps of Masterton Hall to protest the event. We will all be wearing green, there will be plenty of posters and the media will be present! Don't forget - WEAR GREEN!!!

Please pass this on to everyone you know, we need all the help we can get! If you have any questions please do not heisitate to ask.

Who submits questions before an event? I typically think of a forum or speaker of a topic might be open to an opportunity to engage with people about a topic they love to talk about. Part of me wants to listen to this crack pot. Hmmm, I love protests. Just one more thing to not get me elected president. Oh, wait... I am already a woman and can think for myself... that is -2 points for me from the get go. Damn. See you there!




You don't want to make the sisters angry by discriminating. Look at the narrowed eyes, see, you are afraid, eh?
