Tax relief is just one election away!
Maine Leads turns valuable ideas into powerful citizen initiative campaigns. The citizen initiative lets us vote for the accountability and prosperity that will move Maine forward.
Right now, we are promoting three citizen initiatives that will be on the ballot in November 2009. Each of these initiatives promotes economic freedom and government accountability. When they pass, it will be a great victory for the citizens of Maine.
