Calling all E-Precinct Captains!
Do you want to help Pat win? And would you like to be featured on Pat's website?
Well, you can do both if you reach out to your family and friends as an E-Precinct Captain of the LaMarche for Governor campaign.
How does it work? Just go to Pat's website and sign up as a volunteer. Once you sign up, you will be prompted to send an email to your friends. If you do this, and ten of your friends sign on as volunteers, then you become an official LaMarche E-Precinct Captain.
You will be eligible to have your picture posted on Pat's website, along with a few words about why you support Pat. And, you will be eligible for sneak peeks of audios, videos, and other campaign information before it goes to the public at large.
Interested? Welcome aboard!

Pat Goes on T.V.
This past week marked the start of Pat's new television campaign, "My Healthcare Plan Can Lower Your Taxes." If you have not yet seen it, you can go to www.pat2006.com/issues/lower_taxes/
Pat LaMarche has a common sense solution to high property taxes and the 135,000 Mainers without health insurance. Her Universal Healthcare Plan lowers property taxes by reducing the amount each town and county pays to insure its employees. Everyone gets healthcare, and Maine businesses and property owners get tax relief.

LaMarche: Only Candidate Opposing LNG Facility
On July 30, Associated Press writer Glenn Adams wrote a story that shows why we need Pat LaMarche as the next governor of Maine. Pat is the only gubernatorial candidate who comes out clearly opposing a liquified natural gas (L.N.G.) facility Down East. Gov. Baldacci does not take a position, but would form a "working group" to study the issue. All other gubernatorial candidates oppose it, except if local residents near the proposed facilities favor it.
As stated in the AP story: "[Only] Green Independent candidate Pat LaMarche dismissed liquefied natural gas as "not a long-term solution" and said a terminal in Maine has more to do with supplying other states than keeping Maine homes warm and lighted."
"A finite fuel source, with long- and short-range negative environmental impact, foisted on our state's poorest communities and headed to consumers outside Maine...doesn't make very much sense for the people of Maine," said LaMarche.
[In conclusion,] LaMarche said, "Further jeopardizing our environment for a vanishing resource solves nothing. We need solutions. Wind, hydro, solar, organic fuels and conservation are solutions."

Quote of the Week
"At this point, Maine's gridlocked state government needs the infusion of a progressive agenda. If things are going to be as bad as Democrats claim if Woodcock wins and vice versa, a new alternative can't have anything but upside. I'll vote for the fresh thinking, pro-economic growth and sensible tax policy candidate, Green Independent nominee Pat LaMarche."
