Maine Group Drops Anti Gay Rights Push
http://bangornews.com/news/t/news.aspx?articleid=165972&zoneid=500

"We’re pulling the plug," said Michael Heath, executive director of the Christian Civic League of Maine. Heath said the evangelical group failed to attract voter, volunteer and financial support it needed to continue its campaign.

Now that's some unexpected good news. Maybe Mr. Heath should move to Jesusland.

I've been really good if you don't count this weather. Today was the kids' last day at school (oh noes!) so there will be some adjustments to make. How about yerself?

3. Pretty good. Some interesting stuff going on.
One very interesting friend out of my past has re-appeared. Very cool.
The kid is talking in sentences. Sort of anyways.

5. I heard Betsy Smith on NPR last night
SHe said that Mike Heath doesn't seem to realize that most Mainers don't agree with him.

Thank you, Maine.

6. Yes, I heard her too.
He denied it, but when you can't get even basic support for your movement, something's wrong. I'm proud of Mainers!
