HUGE NEWS, PFAW Member!
Republican Senator Susan Collins is TANKING! A new poll puts her approval rating at just 37%!!!
PFAW Member,
First, Susan Collins BETRAYED her constituents by voting to confirm Brett Kavanaugh and rubber-stamping dozens of other unfit, extreme Trump judicial nominees...
Then, she betrayed her oath of office by wholeheartedly embracing the cover-up of Donald Trump’s misdeeds by voting not to convict Trump in his impeachment and, in doing so, undermined our system of checks and balances.
Now, her constituents are FED UP about her marching in lockstep with Trump and Mitch McConnell, and even Republican operatives are admitting, “This is going to be a close race."
Her sinking poll numbers show that our work to hold Susan Collins accountable is WORKING!
But we need to sieze on this momentum and keep turning up the heat, because flipping control of the U.S. Senate and ending Mitch McConnell's disastrous majority hinges on unseating Collins and turning her seat blue!
Our Take Back the Senate Fund is running on fumes and we need to raise nearly $15,500 in just the next DAY to make our April budget if we're going to win this key race and END Mitch McConnell's Republican majority.
Susan Collins must be held accountable but defeating Collins is also the key to stopping Mitch McConnell.
Mitch McConnell has used Collins and the rest of his GOP Senate majority to engage in one underhanded power grab after another -- he and his Republicans:
- STOLE a Supreme Court seat (remember Merrick Garland??)
- COVERED UP for Donald Trump's corrupt misdeeds by squashing his impeachment
- ATTACKED our democracy by fighting to allow voter suppression and endless Big Money to pollute our elections
- CONFIRMED dozens of Trump's unfit, extremist judicial nominees
Now McConnell is trying to block coronavirus aid to state and local governments that would SAVE THE JOBS of emergency first responders and teachers, sabotaging the economy and the public health to gain political leverage for his and Trump's radical right-wing agenda.

Polling shows that Collins's support for Kavanaugh was a turning point with her constituents, but since then she has continued to vote to confirm dozens more of Trump's extreme judicial nominees. And she's done it while spewing lies and hypocrisy the whole time.
Collins says she is pro-choice, pro-health care, pro-environment, and pro-LGBTQ equality... but so many of Trump's nominees are rabidly anti-choice and want to undermine or overturn Roe v. Wade; they want to destroy the ACA; they rule on the side of polluters and want to cripple the government's ability to fight climate change; they want to turn back the clock on the rights of LGBTQ people, as well as other groups...
YOU know that Susan Collins is to blame for the confirmation of Kavanaugh and other Trump judges...
YOU know she's to blame for enabling Trump and keeping him in office...
And now it's clear that her constituents in Maine know it too -- which means, thanks to your support, our efforts to keep her record in the spotlight is working!
We need to save our democracy. And that means defeating Trump AND his most dangerous enablers.
Thanks for everything you do!
-- PFAW
