Sen. Collins’ impeccable record
To the editor:
Over the past few months, I have watched the political ads, most of which are untrue and some that are downright twisted. I think a lot more citizens would like to see positive campaigning.
Our state is a small state of approximately 1.3 million and is a virtual drop in the bucket when compared to the 310 million Americans living in our great country. The impacts some of our elected officials have made in Washington, D.C., seem gigantic by comparison. Margaret Chase Smith, Ed Muskie, Bill Cohen, George Mitchell and Olympia Snowe were all senators who transcended party politics. Each placed the concerns of this country first and foremost. Each knew the magnitude of trust Mainers placed in them, and each made our state proud.
For the last 18 years, our Sen. Susan Collins has stood tall alongside that same tradition. Like her predecessors, Susan has served the citizens of this state first. She approaches each and every issue, not from a partisan perspective but, rather, from a practical one based on what is best for Maine. I have had the great pleasure of sitting in on a congressional hearing in the Senate chambers and heard firsthand how she stands up for the citizens of Maine and the things she strongly believes in. Her record is impeccable and honest.
On Nov. 4, join with me in voting for our Senator, Susan Collins, and be assured that the great Maine tradition of statesmanship is carried on. She has never missed a roll call vote and serves us with the utmost integrity.
