The Maine Senate passed it on party lines, it is likely to be debated in the Maine House today.

Please call the Maine State House at (207) 287-1400 to express your opposition, or go to www.maine.gov and e-mail the Speaker of the House, the Majority leader John Richardson (D) or the new governor John Baldacci (D).
