EqualityMaine to Hold Baldacci Fundraiser

EqualityMaine PAC is hosting a fundraiser to help re-elect Governor John Baldacci, who introduced Maine’s new non-discrimination law as a bill in the legislature in February 2005 which protects lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people from discrimination. The bill was upheld in a referendum vote in November 2005 by a vote of 55% to 45%.

The fundraising event is a reception being held on Sunday, May 14, 4:00 - 6:00 pm, at the Breakwater School on Brighton Avenue. Headlining the event will be Jim Hightower, a progressive political commentator from Texas.
