“Sen. Susan Collins said President Donald Trump doesn’t need congressional approval for the Iran war with ‘no boots on the ground.’”
Letter: Thank you to Susan Collins for supporting disabled workers
“The Government Accountability Office estimates more than 100,000 Americans have died while waiting for SSDI decisions, and thousands more have suffered financial ruin.”
America cannot secure its airports with unpaid labor
“Expecting the workforce responsible for this mission to operate indefinitely without pay sends the wrong message about how seriously we take aviation security.”
Letter: Tribal sovereignty should be priority for Maine Legislature
“Wabanaki people deserve the same legal liberties the other 570 federally recognized tribes productively enjoy!”
Letter: What word would Susan Collins use to describe ‘war’ in Iran?
“I wonder if Collins would be better able to think of a three letter word that might suitably describe this “thing” that Trump started.”

Letter: Susan Collins shows commitment to Maine fishermen

Letter: Jared Golden right on Iran
“A stop too soon would be ill advised since it would likely result in the deaths of many more soldiers and sailors if you left the foe with sufficient firepower to come back at you.”
Letter: US committing war crimes in Iran and elsewhere
“With the murder of innocent children and civilians, I believe we have squelched any chance of a civilian uprising in support of western values and an overthrow of the leadership.”
Maine should re-examine vaccine exemptions
“Maine’s policy change eliminated non-medical exemptions entirely, leaving most families with a single option: comply or lose access to education.”
Letter: Everyone should support war in Iran
“Where is the bipartisan support of barely three years ago when the U.S. House voted in January 2023 by a margin of 420-1 to condemn Iran’s government?”
