The following is an email sent out from the state GOP on August 14th, 2023:
Fellow Mainers,
We are facing a genuine crisis this week.
Can't believe I'm writing this, but the state government is actually considering a plan that would FORCE just about every Mainer to buy an electric vehicle.
This isn't a joke. Or a false alarm.
This is real, and it's happening to you.
If you don't weigh in, you could find yourself in an unreliable, expensive electric hunk of junk soon.
We're asking Maine's working and middle class to RISE UP -- make your voice heard loud and clear!
Here's what you can do: Please click here to sign our petition.
We're going to do everything we can to stop this, but we need your signature NOW.
Thank you for helping us to defend Mainers from this expensive, immoral plan.
Joel Stetkis
Chairman
Maine GOP
