Dear John,
Right now, there are almost two dozen House districts in Maine that we are within striking distance of winning in November .
In many of these districts, the Democrat incumbent sponsored a bill to raise your tax on heating oil and gasoline by 40 cents per gallon!
Maybe these Democrats are unaware that heating oil is a life or death issue for Mainers, or that 40 cents per gallon tax on gasoline would destroy the bank accounts of the people they represent. Either way, it is clear these Democrats are more interested in squeezing every penny out of Maine people to fund their extreme agenda than keeping Mainers safe during our harsh winters.
That's right, despite having some of the lowest emission rates and harshest winters in the country, and their constituents constantly pushing back on
this insane tax increase, these Democrats have continued to push their extreme agenda and expect YOU to pay for it.
It is simply wrong.
In most of the other districts, these Democrats also voted to provide illegal immigrants coming into Maine full welfare benefits, including cash.
Once again, while some Maine families are struggling to put food on the table for their families, we are welcoming an additional strain on our resources to law-breaking immigrants instead of taking care of the Maine families who are already struggling. These welfare benefits were not just going to go to people who were stuck in the immigration process - they voted to give it to anyone who said they would apply.
Every $25 or $50 we raise helps us reach hundreds more voters again. A couple hundred dollars can cover several days of digital advertising in an entire district!
