Paul LePage on Civil Rights

Publicly insulted the NAACP

Governor Paul LePage made a point of publicly insulting the NAACP and ordering the removal of murals at the Maine Department of Labor that depicted scenes of working people in the state's past and honored figures such as Francis Perkins, the 1st female Secretary of Labor in America. Maine Governor LePage projects an in-your-face image that thrills his Tea Party backers. Similar pugnaciousness has been on display from many GOP Representatives and Senators in Washington DC.

Keep marriage as sacred union of one man and one woman

Support the Voter's Decision to Keep the Current Law Defining Marriage.
Paul does not believe that we need to redefine marriage as anything other than the sacred union of one man and one woman.
