The RECORD has learned that a California homosexual rights group is raising money to send its members to Maine to help influence the upcoming vote on same sex marriage. The organization, based in a suburb of San Francisco, calls itself the "Alameda Equality Team Maine." The group is soliciting donations on the website of ActBlue, a political committee which has raised enormous sums of money for Democrat candidates nationwide.

The group Alameda Equality Team Maine is part of the Courage Campaign, a self-described 'progressive' organization  in California which boasts over 700,000 members. The organization runs a so-called "Camp Courage" to teach community organizing methods to homosexual activists. The logo used by the training camp is shown at the top left. 

Meanwhile, closer to home, Governor Baldacci will appear at a fundraiser in support of homosexual marriage at a swank home in Portland's West End. While Maine continues to wrestle with the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression - the Governor will be going out of his way on behalf of homosexual 'marriage.' Tickets for the event cost from $100 to $1,000.

Portland and South Portland are the epicenter of the radical homosexual agenda in Maine.  Though Portland has only three gay bars - half the number of the small town of Ogunquit - and only one leather club devoted to the perversion of sadomasochism, South Portland has two openly homosexual legislators, Senator Larry Bliss, formerly of Southern California, and Representative Terry Morrison. 

South Portland was also the scene of the notorious 'gay rights killing,' in which an advocate of same sex marriage allegedly shot and killed Fred Wilson, a South Portland resident. The killing apparently followed a night of drug- and alcohol-crazed debauchery. Both LaValle Davidson and Fred Wilson, like Larry Bliss, were homosexuals who had moved to Maine from Southern California. LaValle Davidson, who was originally charged with murder, is scheduled to stand trial for manslaughter on November 30. The killing took place approximately one half mile from Bliss's home in South Portland, four day before LaValle Davidson testified at the public hearing in favor of same sex marriage

It is not known whether or not Bliss knew of the killing at the time of the hearing. Bliss was a co-chairman of the Standing Committee on the Judiciary which held the hearing at the Civic Center on April 22nd.
