What is it called - Astroturfing? ALSO DONATE! Re: Collins

I'm going to do my best to post this in Collins Twitter feed, in every update, every day. I think others should join in.

----------
I have donated $20.20 to your future opponent - whoever he or she is so Maine can have a senator who's not a disgrace. I urge everyone else upset with Collins to do so as well here: https://tinyurl.com/yd4g87vc

They topped 2 million during her speech. We have over two years now to continue raising money for her opponent. Wouldn't it be great if we could get it to $20 million or $30? I say we shoot for $50.

Is fake grass, like on a football field.

Fake groups that use big money but try to look like grass root organizations are called this for being fake.

I can only hope it is being overwhelmed with donations for her 2020 opponent.

I have limited funds available to donate, but Heidi is the one who demonstrated real courage and solid reasoning in this debacle and she deserves to be rewarded.

With an endangered Senate seat in a red state, she put principle above politics.
