People’s Veto Effort Launched – We Need Your Help!!!

We need your help now.  As the email below described, we are going to be working as part of a coalition to enact a  people’s veto of the repeal of same day voter registration.  We will be working to get this on the ballot this November.  In order to do so, the coalition members have the goal of collecting 71,500 signatures by early August.

The signature-gathering process will begin this Saturday, the 9th.  There is going to be a training at the offices of the Maine People’s Alliance in Portland, at 565 Congress Street, Suite 200, on Saturday, July 9, at 9:00 AM.  We would encourage everyone who is willing to volunteer and gather signatures to attempt to attend this training, to insure that everything is done properly.  Petitions will be ready, available and distributed at this meeting.  If you are unable to attend the training and are willing to volunteer to gather even a few signatures, please let me know and we’ll make arrangements to get petitions to you.  We encourage you to volunteer, even a couple of hours…Every signature that you gather gets us closer to our goal.

We are in the process of identifying coordinators for the various communities.  If you have an interest in helping coordinate the process, please let us know.  We’ll provide you with the list of coordinators for the various communities in the counties in a few days.

Please email me with any questions at ccdcchair@gmail.com.  Thanks for your willingness to help in this critical effort.  We’re looking forward to working with you!!Â
