Thank Susan Collins and URGE her to STAY in the US Senate. Here is why:

This is in no way an endorsement of Republican policies or the Republican party, and I DISAGREE with Collins on most of her votes in the US Senate. However, she does have a moderate bent, and her very recent votes on the horrid GOP healthcare bills were the right votes. She should be thanked for these votes to stop the rotten GOP DEATHcare bills. They were votes where she resisted huge pressure from her GOP colleagues.

We need Collins to stay in the Senate. Here is why. WE DO NOT WANT HER TO LEAVE TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR!!! That is because the horrid rotten LePage would then appoint either himself or another far right winger to that US Senate seat and he or the other person would help Trump and the radical GOP kill our healthcare and do so many other rotten things. Collins is very popular in Maine and is at least a voice of relative moderation and reason who places a needed check and balance on Trump in the Senate.

Also, if she ran for governor because of her popularity she would likely win the governorship in a year when with the right Democratic candidate should be able to win the governorship back absent a Collins candidacy.

So, for these very important reasons, I urge you to please contact Sen. Collins via email and thank her for her courageous healthcare votes and ask her to please stay in the US Senate because that is right where we need her.
