Augusta Seeks Major Expansion of Gambling 'Industry'
Lawmakers
in Augusta are poised for a major expansion of gambling with
the help of new legislation that has escaped the notice of much of the
public. Spurred on by the success of Hollywood Slots, legislators have
put forward a plan in which the state government will directly control
slot machines and casino gambling, both of which have a long
association with organized crime, and were formerly criminal
activities under Maine law. The laws governing gambling in Maine are still listed in the Maine criminal statutes between "Assault and Battery" and "Bigamy."

City Council Trades Votes for Lives
Bible-based
predictions about social trends often come true, but rarely as quickly
as in the case of Club OTR, a bar in downtown Augusta which has
justifiably earned a very bad reputation. In a press release issued
during the first week of January, the Christian Civic League predicted
that Club OTR would again become a source of trouble despite
assurances to the contrary by its owner and the Augusta City Council.
True to our prediction, the bar has relapsed into its old ways.
The
Record was the first media outlet to call attention to the serious
nature of the trouble at the bar. In a story published on New Year's
Eve, The Record reported that young people flock to Club OTR where the
liquor is so plentiful and cheap, that they often pass out on the way
home, or wind up in emergency rooms to be treated for alcohol
poisoning. In addition, fights are a common sight in a nearby parking
lot after young men pour out of the bar at closing time.

Ailing Pro-Life Advocate Holds Vigil in the Cold
Scott Michaud tears up while speaking of one of his greatest triumphs through God. Michaud, whose single-minded mission is to “end child killing,” happened to be at the local Wal-Mart last November. A little girl came running over to him. “She came up to me in the grocery department,” Michaud recalled, “and she said, ‘my mom wants to say something to you.’ The mother said, ‘never stop, because you saved my granddaughter.’
“Now I can never stop. There is no greater joy, there is nothing I can do that can bring greater joy. Nothing, nothing, nothing. I’m going to be an emotional wreck because of that.”

MHRC Transgendered Schoolboy 'Rights' Press Release
The
Christian Civic League of Maine has issued the following press release
in response to the Maine Human Rights Commission issuance of
transgendered schoolchildren ‘rights’ proposed guidelines:
The Christian Civic League of Maine is appalled by the latest outrage by radical homosexual activists. Gay activists have disclosed new state guidelines requiring schools to allow young children to have access to facilities of the opposite sex. Under the proposed guidelines, boys who self-identify as female will have access to girls' sports teams and cheerleading squads, girls' bathrooms, and girls' locker rooms.
The Christian Civic League of Maine calls on all Maine parents to attend these upcoming public meetings and voice their strong opposition to the proposed 'guidelines.' Further, the League calls on all citizens to protect their vulnerable children from the homosexual lobby and their enablers in Augusta by contacting their state legislators and stating their firm opposition to these proposed Maine Human Rights Commission 'guidelines.'

AUGUSTA, Me. – One of Maine’s most dedicated pro-life advocates says he has bruises on his legs, and wanted to file assault charges stemming from incidents that occurred outside an abortion clinic here on Dec. 17.
But Ron Stauble, 76, had to settle for theft charges against the two women who stole his signs outside Family Planning Association Maine, on Gabriel Drive. Stauble said he was outside the clinic as usual on a Thursday, when abortions are performed.

Radical Homosexual Activists Now Resorting to Strong-arm Tactics
When bullies lose arguments, they quickly turn to blows. Homosexual activists, having lost the public debate on same marriage, are now resorting to heavy-handed methods to intimidate and silence their opponents.
On Election Day, when it became apparent that same sex marriage was going to suffer a historic loss in Maine, Jesse Connolly, leader of the No on 1 campaign, said the following: “We will not quit until we know where every single one of these votes lives.” Many heard Connolly's remarks as a clear threat to the safety of those who had voted against gay marriage. Three days later, a death threat was phoned in to Mike Heath, the former Executive Director of the Christian Civic League who had led Maine's twenty-year long effort to head off homosexual marriage. The threat came from an out-of-state man who claimed to be "armed" "gay" and "had Heath for his next target."

Hands Around the Capitol
The annual Hands around the Capitol Rally and March took place this past Saturday in Augusta. The annual event, which is organized by Maine Right to Life, is intended as a public expression of mourning for the loss of life caused by abortion since the passage of the Supreme Court decision Rowe v. Wade.
To judge from the standing-room only crowd, the Pro-Life movement is growing rapidly. The crowd was larger than in earlier years, and was estimated at 400 - 500 people. Further evidence for the growing strength of the Pro-Life movement are the buses going to the March for Life event in Washington on January 20 - 23rd. Seats on the buses have already been fully booked, and there is a waiting list for cancellations.

Mystery Deepens in LaVallee-Davidson Case - The California Connection
Homosexual rights activists are breathing a sigh of relief now that a vocal same sex marriage supporter has been convicted for manslaughter in a court in Portland. They are wrong to think this story is now going to go away. A picture of the crime is emerging which may shock the public above and beyond their already horrified reaction.
The Record is concerned about certain missing information in the case. Specifically, the crime was not reported to police until 8:00 pm on the day of the killing, allowing LaVallee-Davidson ample time to remove evidence from the locked ten-by-ten foot room called "The Dungeon." Curiously, much of the evidence related to the crime was not removed, including various paraphernalia and a computer. The question arises, just what did LaVallee-Davidson remove from the room known as the 'Dungeon?' and what was on the computer?

Press Release
In January last year, the homosexual rights lobby used Senator Dennis Damon to introduce a bill to legalize same sex marriage. Not only did the bill legalize same sex marriage, it made all terms pertaining to the family, words such as 'husband and wife', 'father and mother,' gender neutral. It was a travesty to introduce such a bill at a time of deep economic crisis, a fact acknowledged by Governor John Baldacci, the most liberal governor in Maine history.
The bill was shepherded through the Maine Legislature by Larry Bliss, a homosexual activist from California, now head of the Judiciary Committee. During the campaign to repeal the law, the No on 1 side offered a sanitized view of same sex marriage, marketing their product with commercials which showed 'married' homosexual couples and their children, all smiling, healthy, and content in a typical Maine setting.
