Unclaimed Money in Maine

Incase you missed it.....


Did you know that there is $364 million in unclaimed property in Maine waiting for the rightful owners?  Check to see if you have unclaimed financial assets under your name.


Sometime we need to talk about tough things...

Legal Challenges to Biden-Harris Title IX Changes

Notice Maine is gray on the map.  Maine’s governor and AG have not challenged the Biden-Harris illegal rewrite of Title IX, so it officially starts in Hermon, Maine today, August 1, 2024.

The blue states have filed challenges and courts put the implementation on hold for those states.


What does this mean for Hermon?


It means our K-12 schools must allow boys in girls bathrooms, showers, and changing areas.


It means our K-12 schools must allow boys to join girls sports teams.


It means our girl athletes will be forced to play against teams with boys.


It means if the Hermon Schools do not allow boys in girls’ spaces, they will risk losing federal funds.


It means our community will have to wait for a new President and/or one of the state’s cases to go through the court system to stop this harmful, illegal rewrite.


How many girls will be harmed while we wait? Are you going to stand silent or are you going to take action?

 

Your vote matters on November 5, 2024!
