Re-elect Sen. Collins

Sen. Susan Collins is the obvious choice on Nov. 4. As a highly respected leader of the U.S. Senate she sponsored and co-sponsored several key pieces of legislation, i.e., 9-11 intelligence reform, port security, teacher tax credit, generic drugs and many more. This she did by working both sides of the aisle. She knows important bills get passed this way. Tom Allen’s voting record indicates he votes 98 percent with his party. Will positive results occur with Allen’s way? Does anyone know of any noteworthy bill sponsored by Tom Allen?

Second point: Sen. Collins voted against the five-week congressional recess. Her opponent voted for it. This was a roll call that Tom Allen did not miss. Susan Collins has a perfect voting record that is truly remarkable. Our representatives should have remained in Washington to work the challenges of our flailing economy and the energy crisis that we are all facing.

Sen. Collins’ ads are positive, showing the many aspects of the work she’s done for Maine businesses, families and teachers. Allen’s ads portray our senator in an extremely negative way.

Sen. Collins’ accomplishments and solid record should earn her a return to Washington.
