…Regardless of how you voted on Question 1 last November, I hope that you will agree with Rep. Faulkingham and me that foreign government entities should not be permitted to electioneer in our state. We should count ourselves lucky that the only foreign government to have exploited this loophole so far has been Canadian. We cannot leave ourselves vulnerable to the risk that hostile governments will exploit it in the future.

The consequences of inaction on this issue of national security are dire to our democratic republic. Let’s become the 13th state to protect our elections from undue foreign influence. You can help us get this important issue on the ballot by signing a petition circulated by a Protect Maine Elections volunteer or join the hundreds of Mainers like me who are collecting signatures.
