For the past several months, Maine People's Alliance and Mainers for Accountable Leadership partnered with dying father Ady Barkan of Be a Hero to beg Senator Collins to vote "no" on Trump's Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Senator Collins betrayed the public trust when she voted in favor of Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

The people of Maine have been clear with you, Senator Collins: the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court Justice is a threat to all Mainers. Kavanaugh is committed to ending healthcare for people with pre-existing conditions. He is committed to overturning Roe v. Wade. His confirmation poses a danger for millions of families in Maine and across America.

Senator, your deciding vote was a rubber-stamp for Trump’s anti-healthcare, anti-woman, anti-environment and anti-labor agenda.

For failing to stand up for the people of Maine and ignoring the voices of your constituents, and for endangering the lives of millions of Americans, we will work to elect a new senator to represent the State of Maine. 

Every dollar donated to this campaign will be used to fund your eventual Democratic opponent in 2020.  Mainers deserve a senator who will fight for a country that works for all of us.

Something big is happening in 4 days

In October 2018, we had a simple message for Susan Collins: If you vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh, we're going to fund your future opponent. 

This simple message quickly went viral (we literally crashed our website) — and inspired thousands of Mainers and Americans to join our fight to make sure Susan Collins understands the consequences of her betrayal. 

We ended up raising over $4 million for Susan's future opponent. And now, we will finally transfer the fund to the Democratic nominee after the results are in from the Maine primary on July 14th.

Susan has made it clear she's furious about this fund and has complained about it multiple times to her supporters as a reason why she needs donations. That's why we're launching a goal to add $250,000 to this fund for Susan Collins' future opponent before we transfer it after the primary. 

We want Susan to know that we will never forget her betrayal and that this movement is still committed to beating her on November 3rd. Tell Susan that her time is up: Chip in $20.20 or anything you can today.

Just in the past month, Brett Kavanaugh has already voted in support of restrictions that would've closed down 99% of all clinics that offer abortions in Louisiana and a recent ruling that allows employers to deny access to birth control for employees. 

We can never forget the consequences of Susan Collins' infamous vote. And we cannot allow another Republican think they can get away with a betrayal like this. 

Thanks for being a part of this,

Liz Jaff and the entire team at Be A Hero
