Maine Judge Rejects Ebola Quarantine for Nurse
FORT KENT, Me.  — Less than a day after restricting the movements of a nurse who treated Ebola victims in West Africa, a judge in Maine has lifted the measures, rejecting arguments by the State of Maine that a quarantine was necessary to protect the public....
...The order, signed on Friday by Judge Charles C. LaVerdiere, the chief judge for the Maine District Courts who serves in Kennebec and Somerset counties, said the nurse, Kaci Hickox, “currently does not show symptoms of Ebola and is therefore not infectious.”
The order requires Ms. Hickox to submit to daily monitoring for symptoms, to coordinate her travel with state health officials, and to notify them immediately if symptoms appear. Ms. Hickox has agreed to follow the requirements.
During the question and answer period with the press, Ms. Hickox was asked about the "State" saying that her ex-roommate in Sierra Leon had been diagnosed with Ebola. Miss Hickox quickly and emphatically said that the report was "incorrect."
In his ruling, Judge Judge Charles C. LaVerdiere made note of the "misinformation" being spread.
The judge thanked Hickox for her service in Africa and acknowledged the gravity of restricting someone’s constitutional rights without solid science to back it up.
“The court is fully aware of the misconceptions, misinformation, bad science and bad information being spread from shore to shore in our country with respect to Ebola,” he wrote. “The court is fully aware that people are acting out of fear and that this fear is not entirely rational.”
Maine's Governor Le Page and his cronies are lying through their teeth as usual. They are not the only ones. Panicking people is a tried and true Republican campaign strategy.
Please help Mike Michaud become the next Governor of Maine. We need him badly.
Please donate, volunteer, what ever you can do.

It's past time to take our country back. Kids are going to be out trick or treating tonight.
We can be out knocking on doors and making phone calls through election day.
None of us would want to miss the Great Pumpkin. None of us would want to miss the opportunity to make a difference either.
Happy Halloween! And have a great time GOTV!
1:25 PM PT: It is my belief that Kaci Hickox has done a huge service for this country by standing up on behalf of health care workers and sane health care policy. I bet most of you feel the same. What would you all think about making a donation to Doctors Without Borders in honor of Kaci and her fellow courageous health care professionals volunteering in West Africa? If you agree that is a good idea, the link to Doctors without Borders donation page is here -  http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/...
