Take a quick drive around Back Cove in Portland. There is a “Yes on 3” sign almost every 200 feet. Meanwhile, you see very few “No on 3” signs on public property, but rather primarily on private property.
Get out of the city and take a drive. You will primarily see “No on 3” signs in front yards. Ex-New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is pumping millions of dollars into this state to try to get Question 3 to pass.
Meanwhile, you have actual Mainers doing grassroots efforts to try to combat Bloomberg’s millions: making their own signs, cutting their own decals for windows, printing T-shirts, holding fundraisers, getting out and talking to their friends and family.
This is not a Maine-backed ballot initiative. This is not about “background checks working,” as the signs say. Please educate yourself on this ballot initiative. It is not good for Maine. I’ll be voting “no” on Question 3.
