Stand For [Stigmatizing your gay neighbors as doomed] Maine?

One man, one woman, one party
So much for Maine's "yes on 1" campaign being a sweeping, non/bi-partisan affair. Stand For Marriage Maine just sent our this call to (right-handed) arms: What's at 9 Higgins Street, you ask? Well, that would be the headquarters of Maine's...
