OP
Collins fell for Trump's promise before. She's falling for it again. OR she's in on it.

Today Collins says she won't support a justice who would overturn Roe v. Wade!

Call her office non stop and tell her that she will have only 2 years left if she doesn't come right out now and publicly say she will not support ANY of the 25 possible justices that are on the Federalist List of 25 candidates for the SCOTUS position. All 25 already said they will overturn Roe V Wade. If they deny it we know they are lying. Tell her she will be replaced!
1 (202) 224-3121 DC office. Call the week of 8th when they return to DC.

(6,288 posts)2. Wow! Imagine this Democrat replacing DO Nothing Collins!
Good Bye Senator Collins!
I will donate to London's campaign.
I will send an email to EMILY'S LiST to bring her on board.
It won't be easy, by no means. But the day the challenge is official, Democrats will be there to gain yet Another Senate seat & we will remove yet Another Republican no-show when it comes to voting for the better of Americ's people.
Collins' defeat to a Democrat will be Historic!
We have to make THIS race happen.

Ever since, shes gone the other way, said London, a Democrat who serves on her partys state committee.
She said Collins sold us out on taxes and has failed to stand up for Maine on a range of issues.
Collins is Maines senior senator, serving since 1997. Widely recognized as one of the few senators who is willing to cross party lines regularly, she has won re-election easily every six years.
But Collins may face a tougher time if she opts to run again in 2020. Max Linn, who made a fortune in finance, already has signs across the state bragging about how he is #TrumpStrong. He has said he plans to challenge Collins in a primary.
London said she is very serious about taking on Collins and will likely decide in the next couple of weeks after meeting with possible allies in the endeavor. But she talked as if she were already running.
London said at one point, Now Im going to come after Collins because she wont defend a womans right to autonomy over her own body.
When she hears men in Washington talking about abortion, London said, she wants to tell them to get out of my exam room, where real-life necessities are discussed rather than abstractions that hurt women.
She said Collins used to have wide backing in Maine. But I havent talked to anybody who respects her anymore, London said.

Maybe the challenge from this doctor prodded her to make this announcement, or maybe she would have anyway. Either way, it's good to see. We need her vote now. And one more.
