Do you believe the issue of same-sex marriage in Maine should be decided by lawmakers or Maine voters?
| 17.6% | Lawmakers | |
| 79.77% | Maine Voters |
Comment: Hopefully the lawmakers will represent this state in a fair way and prevent too many biased or uneducated opinions from Maine voters that may get in the way of progress. from Bowdoinham, ME by Amy
Comment: Its always about "The People" we are the one's who should decide~ Lawmakers are people to so they shouldnt get to vote twice Right? But who are we to say who someone can love and who they cant? from Norway ME by Denna
Comment: If the legislators, who are put there by the Maine people, do not think the people are capable of deciding important issues, then perhaps the legislators should tell the voters that the next time they run for election. from S.P by KT
Comment: we the people not we the goverment.We the voters have a right to decide from Jay by Todd
Comment: First of all we've been down this road before and we( the obviously moral voters of Maine)already shot this down before so I guess the lawmakers have forgotten that. They just want SPECIAL RIGHTS and wont shut their pie hole or any holes for that matter about this. If we should knock this down again they ought to leave it the F#$* alone and move somewhere else where they can have their own "SPECIAL RIGHTS".....GO AWAY!!!!!!!! from Casco by Rick
Comment: Lawmakers are out of control. Tune in tomorrow for Nuttings bill for all mainers to bow and kiss their feet. Are we not capable of making decisions or unable to vote now? Are we seen as THAT uncapable????? Lets have all of Maines government put under psyciatric screening because they've totally lost their mind! Control Control Control. We're a state of babies and our Government is the baby sitter or guardian. from Auburn by Don
Comment: keep government out of it we have to much now from buxton by debbie
Comment: History shows that in the question of CICVAL RIGHTS, the popular vote has not worked. Go Lawmakers! from Windham by Ellie
Comment: Absolutely! a consensus of elected officials is as good as the people. We DID elect them for goodness sake! from Portland ME by R.
Comment: Lawmakers should lead by striking down discrimminatory practices in civil marriage. If it was left up to voters in the 1960's, the civil rights of black Americans would still be in question. Thank goodness we had legislators who eventually did the right thing. from North Yarmouth by Margy
