Dear John,

Did you see the news?  The Ranked Choice Voting agitators are at it
again.

Just as it is clear we are close to having the signatures needed to stop
Ranked Choice Voting for this year's Presidential Election,
out-of-state funded political operations have rushed to the Maine courts
to try and stop us.

Their lawsuit is without merit. These issues were already addressed by
the Maine Secretary of State when the People's Veto Effort was
authorized to move forward.

But, it tells us one thing.

They are very scared.  Tens of thousands of Democrats, Republicans, and
Independent voters have already signed petitions to repeal provisions of
ranked choice voting.  As voters they do not want their voices
silenced.  The Ranked Choice Voting out-of-state funded operatives know
we are fighting back.  We will not allow out-of-state liberal
billionaires and special interests to upend Maine's long tradition of
how we vote for President of the United States.

Help us keep pushing and finish our the Ranked Choice Voting signature
effort.  Help us restore the one person = one vote Presidential
election this year.

The RCV lawsuit tries to confuse the courts and the public on the timing
of our effort.  However, the Secretary of State's office informed us
officially in September 2019 that the application to begin the veto
could not begin until after January of 2020.  In doing so the Secretary
of State's office specifically noted the Attorney General's Official
Opinion No. 79-170, which has long guided the timing of Legislation and
legal deadlines in Maine.

What's even more interesting is that when Janet Mills allowed RCV to
be applied to the Presidential Election this year, the Associated Press
and other Maine media outlets noted that due to the timing of her
actions RCV would only apply to the November Presidential Election and
not Maine's Presidential Primary.  It was seen as a "having her cake
and eating it too" move on Mills' timing to protect party insiders
connected to the Primary.

Now with this new liberal lawsuit push they could inadvertently nullify
that very Presidential Primary.  Their lawsuit would require that
Primary vote to be held under Ranked Choice Voting as well.

It is ridiculous but the entire lawsuit is a further indication of the
games being played with Ranked Choice Voting. They will do anything to
try and stop us.

**Help us here, now, to continue the push to repeal Ranked Choice Voting
for this year's Presidential Election.**

As the Forecaster newspaper accurately reported when ranked choice
voting was first brought to Maine: "the RCV campaign in Maine has been
partly bankrolled by John Arnold, a former Enron executive and
billionaire hedge fund manager from Texas."

In reality Texas Citizen John Arnold had used his vast fortune, made
from Enron and hedge funds, to provide most of the money to thrust RCV
on Maine.  Tens of thousands of additional dollars were also funneled
in from other out-of-state bankrolled liberal entities to push it. It
was never about Maine voices.

We are going to continue fighting back to restore our Presidential vote.

Right now we are still gathering the final signatures we need - adding
to the tens of thousands we already have - to stop Ranked Choice
Voting from ruining Maine's

**one person equals one vote** 2020 Presidential election.

Your contribution, right here, right now, helps us keep up this fight
.

Maine citizens are taking our voice back.  And, we are not going to
give up or be deterred by false lawsuits seeking to silence Maine
voices.

We will continue gathering signatures to help stop Ranked Choice Voting
in this year's Presidential election,

**with your help**.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Doctor Demi Kouzounas

P.S.  The lawsuit filed by the Ranked Choice Voting consortium of
liberals will not deter us.  It only propels us to work harder. Help us
complete the task.
