Need Help in Freeping Maine Enviro Whacko Poll
Portland (ME) Press Herald ^

Posted on 12/17/2003 6:41:29 PM PST by bogeybob

Help us out. A bunch of outside of Maine enviro whackos are trying to turn a huge portion of Maine into a National Park. The residents of the area are dead set against it, but the Robert Redfords, Meryl Streeps and gang are mounting an expensive campaign to force Maine residents right out of their jobs.

They have tapped into a national enviro mother lode and are running away with a poll. Could you log in and help us by voting "no"?

This is a very unpopular proposal in Maine. The Governor, Congresspeople, residents are all up in arms. What the whackos have done is to run their own freep for a "yes" vote. The 100,000 signatures are mostly out of state tree huggers. Please keep on banging the poll!

Up to 39!

Most of the people who are funding this project have NEVER LAID EYES on the land. They want to kill snowmobiling, a huge industry for Maine, and leave it forever wild. Roxanne Quimby of Bert's Bees (North Carolina) is a big player in this.
