Brian Duprey, 38, is a born again Christian who attends services in a Baptist church. Mr. Duprey is married with five children. He owns several businesses. He also happens to be a member of the House of Representatives in Augusta, Maine. He has introduced several bills this session. One of them is to prevent the State of Maine from using our tax dollars to pay for a sex change. The legislature didn't even consider it. Imagine believing Our Father created a male as a male and a female likewise. Unfortunately we have a large majority of liberal Democrats and Republican...

MAINE REPUBLICAN PARTY COMMENT ON DEMOCRAT-LEAD BUDGET TALKS DEMOCRAT PROCESS & PRIORITIES REFLECT HOW OUT OF STEP THE GOVERNORS PARTY IS WITH PEOPLE OF MAINE

While the state of Maine falls further and further behind in it's medical liabilities. While Maine's doctors and medical professionals are now faced with the distinct possibility of not being able to care for those individuals covered by state programs; John Baldacci and most of the Maine State Legislature are focused on making Moxie the state drink, pushing through more debt in the form of another bond issue, raising every existing fee, and taxing honest firearms dealers out of business. And of course joining with Hannaford Brothers, Verizon and the Norway Savings bank in condemning Christians and advancing the radical...

BANGOR - Setting up a fight with social conservatives, Gov. John Baldacci on Friday submitted a gay rights bill he said would, besides prohibit discrimination against gays and lesbians, improve Maine's economy. "In our state we treat people the way we want to be treated," Baldacci told a morning meeting of business leaders in Bangor, where he announced the bill's filing. "It's not special rights, we're just giving people equal rights."The bill would amend the Maine Human Rights Act to add sexual orientation as a class protected against discrimination in employment, housing and education. Race, gender, religion, age, and physical...

AUGUSTA — A conservative lawmaker is again drawing criticism for a bill he says is about gay rights but some of his colleagues say is about political posturing. State Rep. Brian Duprey, R-Hampden, wants the Legislature to forbid a woman from ending a pregnancy based on the projected sexual orientation of a fetus. He said the bill looks into the future in case scientists find what he described as a "homosexual gene." "I have heard from women who told me that if they found out that they were carrying a child with the gay gene, then they would abort. I...

The Penobscot Indian Nation will be opening Maine’s first mail-order drug company this spring as part of a state plan to reduce the cost of prescription medicines – a plan that has some drug store owners worried because it could cut them out of the picture. Plans also are in the works to create a public purchasers pool – including state employees and public school teachers – where the state would negotiate for the cheapest drug prices from pharmaceutical houses. Public employees would not be ordered to get their drugs in the mail; the incentive to do so exists in...

The bill award is given to the politician that does the one thing, that week, that makes it appear that unlike former impeached President Clinton, they did inhale. And this weeks bill award for absolute, had to be stoned out of his mind when he said it, stupidity goes to none other than Maine's own governor, former dishwasher turned state rep, state senator, Us congressman and now, God help us, Governor of Maine.... John E. Baldacci. Governor Baldacci is upset because Maine's bond debt load is 40% less than the national average. What Baldacci fails to understand is that Maine...

This year Rep. Brian Duprey of Hampden, a conservative Republican, introduced a bill at the request of one of his constituents to make legal, homosexual marriage, in this state. This, of course, threw the Governor and his political lackeys into a tizzy. Not only did a conservative Republican introduce such a bill but he had done it a couple of years before the Governor and his liberal dupes had laid the proper groundwork to brainwash as many Mainers as possible. The spokesman for Baldacci, Lee Umphery, claimed that Rep. Duprey was a liar when he stated that he had submitted...

Maine's Reform party leadership speaks out. And so, the sleeping lion of third partyism in Maiine is awakening. SEATBELTS, BUDGETS, FUNDRAISERS AND MORE FUNDRAISERS!  2005 Using our Freedoms against us!  By Nelson “Skip” Foley  Dateline: January 2005 – The budget is ok if you look at what is being brought in by state government activities in Maine verses what is already being spent but when you realize the insatiable hunger of increased spending Augusta seems to generate under the Democratic Leadership, the budget is and has been for a number of years in “short fall” mode.  This is a symptom of most...

AUGUSTA — A face-off between a Republican state legislator and Democratic Gov. John Baldacci's chief spokesman over a bill to legalize same-sex marriage could heat up today. Rep. Brian Duprey of Hampden said he plans to chastise Lee Umphrey on the floor of the House of Representatives. Duprey is a generally soft-spoken, seemingly shy third-term legislator. But he also is known for his conservative views and his penchant for promoting controversial issues with a single-minded zeal that can frustrate even allies, who aren't always consulted about his plans. The 37-year-old Duprey, who owns four child-care centers in the Bangor area,...

Maine's pro-infanticide governor John e. Baldacci, strikes another blow against Life and the baby in the womb.Christian Civic League of Maine Westbrook, ME - March 22, 2004 - Eighteen days after LD 1152 was signed by Governor Baldacci (D), which authorizes pharmacists to initiate emergency abortions via over-the-counter (OTC) drug therapy, a STAGED signing of LD 1152 was performed by Governor Baldacci. Today's STAGED signing demonstrates the deceptive actions that the Democrat Party, the Governor and certain pro-abortion groups such as Planned Parenthood and Family Planning Association of Maine lobbyists, are involved in. THE FACT IS THAT GOVERNOR BALDACCI ACTUALLY...

The Secretary of State has finally released and posted the official ballot count from the election way back on November 2nd, of 2004. And election held forty days ago. Jesus fasted for forty days and forty nights in order to bring light and truth to the world, even to a little frozen out of the way place like Maine. In Maine the Baldacci Administration has held back the results of an election for forty days and forty nights, not to bring forth truth and light, but to hide truth and light. During that forty days of political blackout, Governor Baldacci...

In order for an area of the country to be one that encourages homosexual activity at the expense of the traditional values of that area, it can not be that this encouragement be only on the part of local businesses such as the Hannaford grocery chain. But this encouragement must include those who have the power to have you arrested, fined, have your property confiscated and even put you in jail for failing to accept and even encourage the act of sodomy and other homosexual defiant behavior. The State of Maine had a bumper month in June of 2004 under...

A poster in my office reads, "77% of anti-abortion leaders are men. 100% of them will never be pregnant." This could have been the caption for the now (in)famous photo of George W. Bush signing the nation's first abortion procedure ban, surrounded by the men who have wielded their political power to restrict access to family planning, emergency contraception and sexual health education — proven means of preventing unintended pregnancy. But last Monday, the picture in Maine was different. On national Back Up Your Birth Control Day, Gov. John Baldacci held a signing ceremony for a new law that will...

Maine is one signature away from becoming the first Illegal Alien Sanctuary State in America. Immigration lawyers supporting illegal aliens are pushing Governor Baldacci to sign an executive order that will stop state agencies from questioning a person's immigration status. More distressing is the fact that all major newspapers in Maine are owned by the same family. That family favors illegal immigration. Therefore, this executive order is being shoved down citizens' throats while they sleep. A spokeswoman said, "They are working so fast and quietly to leave this a 'done deed' before word of the sell-out can hit the national...

He and Gov. John Baldacci were both injured, though not seriously, when the SUV bumped another...

AUGUSTA, Maine, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- Front-running Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., stands in good stead for Maine's Democratic presidential caucuses Sunday, having captured the two endorsements from state officials. On Sunday, voters out of Maine's 1.3 million citizens -- 97 percent of whom are white -- will have more than 400 caucus stations open to them in the only contest to that day.

Dr. Howard Dean’s fans come out for the big Democratic summer shindig As Tom Andrews, the director of the leading national antiwar coalition, began his speech at the Maine Democrats’ big outdoor summer shindig in Falmouth, John Baldacci signaled his bodyguard/driver to move the large, dark SUV up the driveway. The vehicle soon hid in the trees, its engine quietly humming. At first, the governor seemed to be paying attention as Andrews, the former First District congressman, launched into rousing tales of how the country, under President George W. Bush, had gone "from peace and prosperity to war and recession."...

AUGUSTA — Chief Barry Dana of the Penobscot Nation says he felt like a fool as he sat behind Gov. John Baldacci during the governor's inaugural speech last week. Dressed in ceremonial regalia, Dana and his uncle, Butch Phillips, had just performed a "smudging" ceremony for the new governor on the Augusta Civic Center stage. The cleansing ceremony is one of the tribe's highest honors. But during his speech that followed the ceremony, Baldacci reiterated his well-known opposition to casino gambling, and Dana could barely contain his anger. "I was in shock. I was in absolute shock," Dana said. "I...
