Big, Beautiful (Disastrous) Bill 

​

Not surprisingly, given that 1 in 4 families in Maine will be harmed, Senator Collins was given a pass by the Trump WH and GOP leadership to vote against the GOP’s debt-exploding and safety-net slashing “Big, Beautiful Bill.” A disastrous bill, that prioritizes massive tax breaks for the wealthy over the wellbeing of countless Americans, and legislation that she had a moral obligation to fight with every tool at her disposal, including her professed senatorial power and seniority.

 

While I’ve suggested that Senator Susan Collins do a lot more than merely express concern, propose tweaks, or cast a hesitant vote against the Trump Administration and GOP Congress’s disastrous “Big, Beautiful Bill.” I suspect she’ll do what’s she’s generally done over the past 28 years in the U.S. Senate – just enough to appear reasonable and somewhat independent - but not enough to make a real difference.  If you, like me, believe it’s well past time we made a real difference in Washington, please share this email with others and consider signing on to our campaign at costelloforsenate.com to help in defeating Senator Collins and begin the hard work of fixing our imperfect and terribly broken federal government.

 

Senator Susan Collins must do far more than merely express concern, propose tweaks, or cast a hesitant vote against the Trump Administration and GOP Congress’s disastrous “Big, Beautiful Bill.” This deficit-ballooning, wealth-favoring monstrosity of a budget reconciliation bill is a direct attack on Maine’s working families, the safety net that sustains vulnerable Americans, and the clean economy jobs that our future depends on. Collins has a moral obligation to fight with every tool at her disposal to stop this harmful legislation. Anything less than full-throated opposition would make her complicit in a scheme that prioritizes massive tax breaks for the wealthy over the wellbeing of countless Mainers and Americans. Senator Collins, it is time to stand up, not waver.
