Maine Group Sends Dire Warning to Susan Collins About Kavanaugh

Mainers for Accountable Leadership is sending a dire message to their elected representative Sen. Susan Collins (R). In a new video, a group of women tell the senator their varying reasons for why she needs to vote against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The reasons range from: He will reverse Roe v. Wade, to people will die.

If @SenatorCollins votes for Kavanaugh, we will replace her. Join the campaign - pledge $20.20 to a Collins opponent at https://t.co/tngVyH7BG3 #StopKavanaugh #mepolitics pic.twitter.com/ioUS7HUY0Z — Mainers for Accountable Leadership (@mfalpac) September 3, 2018

"It has been pretty demoralizing to know your elected representative is ignoring you," one woman in the video laments.

Other women argue that a vote for Trump's nominee is a vote to reverse the right to abortion, or a vote to take away the rights of individuals who have "marginalized" gender identities. But, the most extreme view came from the woman who predicted, "As a Mainer who has a pre-existing condition, if you vote yes on Kavanaugh, you're voting to kill me."

Bullying much? But, that's what they do. As for the one that is one step from deaths door, should some one have said allegedly? As we all know, you can claim anything you want to to try to make your case. But, we are talking susan collins here so who knows? Mainers?

What are you fretting about Mainer chick? Global warming is going to kill you anyway. Or you’re going to be incarcerated in the Trump Yuge Detention Camps of Death and Mandatory Gender Obedience.

Intimidation has worked for the liberals for the last 40-50 years. Maybe longer.

When everything is offensive, life threatening, and ruinous, people stop listening.

“As a Mainer who has a pre-existing condition, if you vote yes on Kavanaugh, you’re voting to kill me.”

Uhm, nope.

You will still have medical care avaible to you.

Might kill you to pay the bills though.

I have great insurance and have been denied MRI for torn rotator cuff.

Soon as I’m done getting my teeth worked on, which is costing me thousands, in addition to lost income from the Pain of my Mom’s death 3 months ago.

The stress of the memories resulted in Shingles on the left side of head and behind my left eye.

Pain was excruciating.

I now wear dark sunglasses everywhere, even going to the car just to get something and occasionally while inside.

That shingles crap has forced me off work several times and waiting out the eye and head pain.

But, I’m back at work and killing my sales numbers so, I can pay for that MRI and get proof for the operation to ease the pain

So, the cost of medical care is killing me but, I ain’t dead and insurance covered a significant portion of the costs.

Yea, it is demoralizing when my elected representative ignores me. In my life, I’ve had exactly one Republican in Congress who I felt somewhat represented me. He was a one-term Senator.

That said, I never once resorted to threatening any of them with spurious arguments, especially stupid ones like “reverse Roe v. Wade and people die”

Try this you bunch of liberal harridan schrews “Keep Roe v Wade and people die. Every time the baby dies and women die with frightening regularity.

Insurance doesn’t save people from medical maladies... it merely protects your assets. People are not refused medical treatment in this country because of lack of funds.

He will reverse Roe v. Wade ... maybe. Unlikely. At best it gets tossed back to the states, where it probably should belong to begin with.

to people will die ... thanks Captain Hyperbole.

Hopefully the good senator sees this for the BS it is. I'm dubious, though.

The people who are protesting never voted for Collins. Why should she pander to Democrat operatives. She was able to win without them in the past. In 2020, she will ride the Trump wave to reelection.

If anything, this Kavanaugh confirmation has shown how powerless the Liberals are...and it will only get worse for them. The Libs haven't realized this yet, but they have lost big time. Trump is in the process of remaking the court system. After the courts, Trump will go after the Education establishment and the MSM. Game over!

What is this group? How many in the group? Does anyone care about these rich white women? I’m guessing they’re frustrated

Oh that’s a given.

Most likely they’ve lived all their lives in Maine. Never travelled anywhere except maybe to NYC to go shopping. IF they went to college it was definitely in the northeast

Pathetic really

Personally, I can’t wait for the Democrat in GOP clothing to go.
