Why Is the DNC Actively Ignoring Maine's Marriage Battle? / Queerty:
The DNC has long long ignored LGBT people when we needed them, yet are all too happy to suck us dry when they need us. How hilarious that they hit up Maine TWICE today, shilling for the JERSEY election. I'm sick of the DNC altogether, and would rather give money to a homeless, alcoholic gambling and crack addict than the DNC. At least I'd feel better about the way the money was spent.

"Barack Obama's Organizing for America, an organization now under the umbrella of the Democratic National Committee, alerted its Maine membership about today's election … without suggesting they vote 'No On 1.' Or even mention there's a marriage battle going on there. And in a follow-up email, OFA asked supporters to get involved … in New Jersey. You might know OFA under its former name, 'Organizing for Obama.' Sure, OFA is asking members to support Gov. Jon Corzine, who supports gay marriage, for re-election in New Jersey, but they included not one word about what today means for Maine's gays and lesbians. (Meanwhile, nothing about Washington's Ref 71?)"
