John,

The headline in the Huffington Post on Thursday says all you need to know
about Susan Collins:

But if that headline makes you as angry as it makes me, this headline in
Maine's Bangor Daily News gives us hope that change is coming:

[ [link removed] ]DFA endorsed democrat Sara Gideon is working hard to defeat Susan
Collins and every poll shows we're on the cusp of making it happen, but we
can't stop until we win. Help us put her over the top by rushing a
contribution of $3 or more to Sara Gideon and DFA's campaigns immediately.

When the Christian Civic League of Maine announced its endorsement of
Donald Trump and Susan Collins, they proudly stated they only support
candidates they believe will “defend the unborn" and "religious freedom."

The CCL has a long history in Maine of anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion
activism, including opposing anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ
community members and picketing outside of reproductive health clinics. Of
course, they still oppose marriage equality for same sex couples.

Perhaps worst of all, the CCL even supports "conversion therapy," the
dangerous and discredited practice aimed at changing an individual’s
sexual orientation or gender identity using a variety of shaming,
emotionally traumatic or physically painful stimuli to make their victims
associate those stimuli with their LGBTQ identities.

And yet, Susan Collins is "truly grateful" for their support.

For years Susan Collins tried to claim she was a moderate independent, but
it's never been true -- only voting with Democrats when her vote didn't
have an impact on whether or not the bill would pass.

Now, she's not even trying to hide the truth. When she accepted the
support of this right-wing extremest group, she said she was the
“firewall” in the Senate to prevent the passage of “really extreme
legislation.” Her examples: Medicare for All and repealing the
Hyde Amendment, the law that prohibits federal funding of abortions.

[ [link removed] ]Susan Collins is out of step with Maine and lock step with Donald Trump
and Mitch McConnell. Sara Gideon is our chance to defeat her with a
Democrat that will fight for change. Contribute today and put Sara over
the top on Election Day.

Thank you for everything you're doing to win,

- Charles
