Maine group launches resource documenting Collins' voting record, corporate donors

[TexasTowelie]

For voters wanting to examine Senator Susan Collins’ record on critical issues, the grassroots group Suit Up Maine (SUM) has launched an online resource, The Case Against Susan Collins, to shed light on the actions of their senator.

The Case Against Susan Collins provides information on the senior senator’s voting record — including how her votes have been scored by groups like the NAACP and the AFL-CIO — as well as who has been funding her campaigns.

“If Mainers want to see how her tenure has actually impacted people’s lives, they need to look at her votes and follow the money,” said SUM co-leader Kelli Whitlock Burton in a press release.

While Collins has often been referred to as a moderate, her votes have aligned with President Donald Trump’s hard-line positions a majority of the time. This alignment came to a head with her vote for Trump’s 2017 tax bill, which allowed corporations like Amazon and Prudential Financial to avoid paying federal taxes in 2018.

1. Thanks. Not at all surprised at her backing repub initiatives, never believed her "sincere" concern

about anyone or anything--really, just what is her game that she cares then turns around and hurts vulnerable populations by gutting programs that help people--kind of wicked on her part, dont you think? The hypocracy is that repubs claim to be "Christian" on one hand and with the other cruel, hateful and hurtful--they seem to be the antithesis of a man named Jesus.

Excerpt from article.

In just three years, decades’ worth of vital protections for women, minorities, workers, students, immigrants, and the environment have been dismantled,” said SUM founder and co-leader Karin Leuthy. “Because Sen. Collins helped put those corrupt, extremist, and unqualified people in power, she bears the responsibility for every bit of harm they cause.”

2. I will donate to her general opponent.

Hope that person takes advantage of the war chest started to oppose Collins and comes out with both barrels blazing. It would be so sweet for drumpf to lose Maine and Co. because those asses were loyal to him over the country.
