Equality 2010

Equality 2010 Maine House Majority Whip Seth Berry seth@sethberry.org Equality may not have arrived, but it is within reach. Please join me in giving $20.10 TODAY to show that when we're knocked down, we get back up and keep marching toward equality. In November 2010, the Democratic Maine Representatives who voted for LD 1020, Maine's landmark marriage equality bill, are up for reelection. Many, already, are receiving hate mail and threats of electoral retaliation. As a legislative leader who supported LD 1020 and raised over $10,000 for the No on 1 campaign, I will dedicate every dollar donated here to helping reelect House Democrats who voted for marriage equality. Only with this result can we ensure future progress nationwide. To galvanize the courage of future Legislatures, donate here or to EqualityMaine, Maine's LGBT political organization, at http://equalitymaine.org. Their work led to the vote on November 3rd, and will one day lead us to equality. EqualityMaine brought us WWII veteran Philip Spooner, one of my favorites from the long day of testimony that led to last spring's historic vote. Like Spooner, my grandfather fought in the bloodiest battle of that war for "that idea that we can be different and still be equal." Like Spooner, my grandfather had a gay son. Today, I am who I am because of that grandfather and my uncle. We have lost a battle, but the victory will still one day be ours.

Please contribute today! With your help, we will stand strong and march on to equality. All the best, Rep.
