Either Sen. Collins VOTES NO on Kavanaugh OR we fund her future opponent

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

Up to $1,777,742 out of $2,000,000 goal at this point. If you pledge a donation, you will only be charged if Susan Collins votes Yes on Kavanaugh. This campaign is run by Maine People's Alliance and Mainers for Accountable Leadership, which are two pretty awesome political organizations in Maine that support Democratic political initiatives within the state of Maine.

1. How about we fund her next opponent and vote her out

regardless of how she votes? (she'll vote YES)

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

3. You can only vote her out if you are a Mainer, like me.

I'm willing to wait and see what she does. Not going to damn her until she makes it final what her decision is. I will vote against her if she doesn't defend her own gender, like she always has said she would do in the past. I gave $20.20 to the campaign.

6. So you would still be ok with her

and her russiapublican voting record if she votes NO?

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

10. If she continues to be a thorn in the side of the rest of the Republicans, then I support her

She honestly hasn't been all that bad all these years. She has voted with the Dems when it matters the most because she has, up to this point, listened to her constituents. I think if she is still listening now, she'd vote no, because it is obvious that is what most Mainers want. If she no longer cares what Mainers want and she's all about her party, she'd vote yes. I think she should be rewarded for representing Mainers in the face of incredible pressure from her party, that is if she votes no and continues to vote the way the majority of Mainers want her to going forward. I also think she'd probably be better off running as an independent the next time too.

11. A Democrat in her seat would help us gain the majority

To hell with Collins and her not being all that bad.

[MrsCoffee]

17. Are you saying would vote for the Republican over a Democrat?

"I'm definitely not going to vote for her if she votes in favor of Kavanaugh. If she votes against him, I would still consider it. It would just depend on what she does from then on and who her opposition is".

[standingtall]

23. If a Democrat was in her seat you would not have to worry

about them voting to confirm right wing judges or voting to repeal the individual mandate of the affordable care act. I don't live in Maine, but if I did I would vote for a Democrat over her every time and it's not even close.

[awesomerwb1]

12. She's a joke.

She has to be replaced by a true Democrat. Afraid to ask what you think about LePage.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

15. I despise LePage like the majority of Mainers

Comparing Collins to LePage is like apples to oranges.

9. I am not from Maine, but the reason to have a Democratic Senator in Maine is it gives us a better

chance to have a Democratic majority in the Senate

The majority party controls the agenda

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

13. Well, something about Mainers

We don't give a shit about party so much as the person representing us is actually representing us. If Collins is still a real Mainer, then she will do what the majority wants and not be influenced by the party she is in. If the woman pulls through and protects us from the will of the ultra right wingers in her party, then we shouldn't shit on her for that. I will not vote for her if she doesn't vote against Kavanaugh though.

[MrsCoffee]

18. Well, something about DUers

We totally give a shit about party and majorities.

We don't owe the Republicans anything.

[awesomerwb1]

19. Absolutely

I'm absolutely puzzled by the OP's defense of Collins.

I'm absolutely puzzled someone would not get the significance of replacing Collins with a Democrat.

[radical noodle]

20. I know several Mainers...

and they care deeply about party and having a Democratic majority.

[standingtall]

24. Was Collins a real Mainer when she voted for the GOP tax scam

that repealed the individual mandate of the affordable care act?

[still_one]

25. They did a fine job with LePage

[lindysalsagal]

21. I emailed her and promised to fund her opponent already.

Everyone should email her.

[sdfernando]

22. THIS

[bdamomma]

2. this pledge

page should include "country" there are ex pats who would be interested to give a donation.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

4. Maybe they can't accept foreign money? Idk n/t

[bdamomma]

5. maybe these organizations

are only local/state donations.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

7. There is option for other state mailing addresses.

Probably have to have a US address at least because it is for a US senate seat. Probably can't accept foreign donations.

8. I pledged $20.20!

Your card will only be run through and charged if Collins votes "Yes" on Kavanaugh.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

14. Awesome! n/t

[wryter2000]

26. I signed on

I sincerely hope I don't have to pay the $20.20, not because I need the money, but because she needs to do the right thing.
