Senators act like Dems

I read with interest the May 27 article reporting that Democrat Jean Hay Bright intends to run for the U.S. Senate. In case she hasn’t noticed, Maine already has two Democrats representing the state. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe are doing a great job promoting the Democratic agenda in Washington.

Though they seek office as Republicans, when they vote on issues in Washington they consistently undermined the party and voters they have chosen to represent. Their positions on an effort to end the judicial filibuster are the most recent examples of how they sabotage their own party and the voters who put them in office.

I appeal to Collins and Snowe to please officially join the Democratic Party. This will give the voters an opportunity to vote for two senators who actually support the party they are supposed to represent.
