Tips for talking to that conservative relative tomorrow

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Thanksgiving might be our favorite holiday. Food, family, and football -- what could be better? But it can also be a stressful time. A lot of us have a family member who won’t stop talking about Trump. Or maybe you’ll be the only one at your Thanksgiving tab…

A personal request

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, You don’t have to live in Kentucky to get rid of Mitch McConnell. Senator McConnell, the self-proclaimed “Grim Reaper of the Senate,” has been blocking all meaningful Democratic legislation from coming up for a vote. If the Republicans keep their majority in…

It's a toss-up

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Last week, Politico named Jared Golden’s seat as one of the keys to Democrats keeping control of the House. That means the Republicans are going to come at Congressman Golden with everything they have. We need to be ready to have Jared’s back and protect the…

How was lunch, Senator Collins?

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Senator Collins can’t take the time to answer questions from Mainers, but today she found time to have lunch with President Trump. This is an interesting shift for Senator Collins. After weeks of claiming her role as a potential juror makes it impossible for…

Saying one thing, doing another.

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Senator Collins is at it again, saying one thing and doing another. Today, Collins voted to confirm Chad Wolf to become the next Department of Homeland Security Undersecretary for strategy, policy, and plans. Wolf is one of the architects of the Trump Admini…

What is Susan Collins thinking right now?

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, As I watched election results roll in last night I found myself wondering aloud, “What must Susan Collins be thinking right now?” She had to be watching Andy Beshear beat Trump-backed Matt Bevin to become Governor in deep-red Kentucky. She couldn’t miss the …

help us break a record!

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, I know - I just emailed you this morning. But I am so excited! I just got off the phone with the office, and found out that we are right on the edge of breaking our monthly record for most grassroots donors!! We’re so close to breaking the record. Can you ma…

What's scarier than a Trump presidency?

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Nothing scares me more than Donald Trump winning a second term (shiver!), but a close second is another six years with Susan Collins and a Republican majority in the Senate. You can help the Maine Dems avoid this nightmare scenario: donate $5 or as much as y…

As popular in Maine as a Massachusetts driver...

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Defeating Susan Collins in 2020 is not going to be easy. Yes, poll after poll has shown that she is about as popular in Maine as a Massachusetts driver (no offense to our neighbors to the south - we still love you). Yes, she listens more to donors from New Y…

Moscow Mitch raising $$$ for Collins

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Mitch McConnell promised us that Susan Collins, one of his most reliable foot soldiers, would “be well funded.” Well, today Moscow Mitch will personally see to it that special interests continue to come to Senator Collins’ rescue by headlining a DC fundraise…

New polling shows Collins in trouble...

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, According to two new polls, Susan Collins is in trouble. Public Policy Polling and Morning Consult both show Collins’ support among Mainers falling like a lead balloon. One poll even lists Collins as the second least popular Senator in the country, outpaced …

Need to answer...

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Susan Collins just announced that her campaign raked in another $2.1 million last quarter. Once again, Collins is depending on the special interests and corporate PACs -- including Chevron, Exxon-Mobil, and Walmart -- and the cronies of Donald Trump and Mitc…

Often Disappointed, Always Disappointing

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Last weekend we marked the anniversary of Susan Collins’ decision to support Brett Kavanaugh by launching a new campaign: #DefeatCollins. Now you can own a piece of the campaign with our exclusive #DefeatCollins gear. Check out a few of our designs and check…

One year later

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, One year ago, I joined a group of women who had dropped everything to travel hundreds of miles on an overnight bus to Washington D.C.  We stood in Susan Collins’ office and urged her not to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. But she didn’t listen. When Susan Collins w…

FWD: #DefeatCollins

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, We don’t normally send emails at midnight on a Friday. But we didn’t want to wait a minute longer to share our #DefeatCollins campaign. A year ago today, in the face of overwhelming opposition from Maine and across the county, Senator Susan Collins betrayed …

#DefeatCollins

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Sorry for the late email but we couldn't wait to launch our new #DefeatCollins campaign! Today marks the one year anniversary of Susan Collins' 45-minute speech on the floor of the Senate in defense of Brett Kavanaugh. We haven't forgotten that betrayal, and…

Can we count on you, John?

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, At the beginning of the quarter we set a goal to raise $50,000 in grassroots donations. And now, with just a few hours until the end of the quarter, we’re still short $2,374. Can you please chip in $5 -- or whatever you can afford -- to help us get there bef…

why this matters

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, We are so close to reaching our end of quarter goal! Would you chip in $5 -- or whatever you can afford -- right now to help us get there? Each contribution helps us put boots on the ground here in Maine to knock on doors, talk to voters, and build towards v…

Matching Mitch's money

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Looks like Susan Collins’ old pal Mitch McConnell will do everything he can to funnel millions of dollars of special interest money into her campaign. He had a couple former aides -- now lobbyists, of course -- throw a fundraiser for Collins just the other d…

Do you remember what happened one year ago today?

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, It was heartbreaking. It was frustrating. It was painful. It was infuriating. A year ago today, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh testified in front of Congress. Ford was composed, stoic, determined, and honest when talking about the most painful…
