One hundred conservative Mainers attended a Tea Party this afternoon in rural Alton, Maine (north of Bangor). Speakers and conversations focused on Maine's referendum laden election in November, Jason Levesque (republican candidate for Maine's Second District), and Paul LeBlanc (republican candidate for governor). There was no obvious press coverage of the event. Although invited, none of Maine's congress critters were in attendance, nor were any of their representatives. There was little, if any, pre-meeting publicity in Maine's mainstream media.
In November Maine voters will have the opportunity to affirm that marriage is legally defined as being between one man and one woman; vote on a taxpayers bill of rights (TABOR); and vote to significantly reduce state excise taxes.
Over the past thirty plus years Maine has regressed under the effects of liberal democratic legislation (often supported by RINO's). This has resulted in declining private employment, increasing government employment, increasing taxes, and an out migration of Maine's young adults, small businesses, major manufacturers and retirees. Maine's growth industry in this time has been government employment, taxes and fees. Maine leads the nation in the areas of soft welfare laws, and Medicaid enrollment (23% of the population is enrolled of Maine's version of Medicaid, called Maine Care).
I hope you guys vote out your Senator Snowe in ‘12 (I think).
STOP PRINTING MONEY!
STOP SPENDING MORE THAN YOU HAVE!
Maine? There may be hope after all.
Also in Maine today, Lewiston specifically, there was a Making of America seminar presented by The National Center for Constitutional Studies. It was quite well attended by patriotic Mainers.
100 conservatives. I had no idea there were that many conservatives in the state of Main. Must have rounded up every last one available.
I didn’t know there were 100 people in Alton!
My Grandfather had the second phone, after Reed Meehan. Carey Meehan, “Big Reed’s daughter is still alive and well at 98!
Was Olympia Snowe there? :)
I am so thankful to hear there are REAL CONSERVATIVES in Maine!!
God bless you all!
