To those attacking Paul Madore’s stand against the Rev. Seavey’s support of Gov. Baldacci’s special-rights law, I’d like to say, welcome to America where everyone is entitled to speak their mind and give their sincerely held opinion.

Of course, that will all change if Seavey and Baldacci have their way and the radical new gay-rights law is allowed to go into effect.

Mainers could face lawsuits for publicly spreading their thoughts on homosexuality. A landlord or business that refuses an applicant could be sued for discrimination even if they didn’t know the applicant was homosexual, lesbian, bisexual, transvestite or transsexual. This new law is the most radical and inclusive in all New England. It covers every sexual orientation.

The homosexual agenda is increasingly promoted in schools. So-called priests and religious leaders that are helping to promote the gay agenda are going against the word of God, the teachings of the Catholic Church and the pope.

On Nov. 8, vote yes to overturn Baldacci’s gay-rights law.
