OFA tells Mainers to get out and vote without mentioning anti-gay ballot measure

Full story: gay.americablog.com

The Executive Director of Organizing for America sent an email to Mainers telling them to vote. Someone I know just got it: Tomorrow is Election Day once again in Maine. It's as important as ever for you to get out to vote. And just like you did last year, bring friends, family, and co-workers with you when you go to the polls. Funny thing (or not), OFA forgot to tell Mainers what issues are on the ballot and how to vote on those issues. For example, there's no mention of Question 1, the measure to repeal Maine's marriage equality law - i.e., repeal gay marriage - in the email (really big surprise, huh?)

From the website of OFA:

"Organizing for America, the successor organization to Obama for America, is building on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering communities across the country to bring about our agenda of change."

I would think they should state in their emails just what kind of change they are looking for when they exhort us to vote. They appear to be as namby-pamby as their President.

Yet I'm sure the Obama apologists will find some way to spin this as a positive thing for the gay community.

Why bother posting as if from Germany, David? Everyone has seen your spam before. Hiding behind another "concocted" name and location could be deemed sinful!
