John,
HUGE NEWS: Senator Susan Collins' race has just been updated from "leans
Republican" to "toss-up" by the Cook Political Report, one of the nation's
most respected election forecasts.^1
This could be the tipping-point race that determines who controls the U.S.
Senate after 2020 — Mitch McConnell or pro-choice Democrats. And Susan
Collins' approval ratings have been in steep decline since she cast the
deciding vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh.
[ [link removed] ]We're going all in to defeat Susan Collins. Will you donate
$15 to NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC to defend reproductive
freedom and help put the Senate back in pro-choice hands?
Defeating Susan Collins and flipping the Senate starts by electing a true
pro-choice champion like Sara Gideon, who — as Maine House Speaker —
helped to pass critical legislation to remove coverage bans and
restrictions that make accessing abortion care more difficult. She has
earned NARAL's endorsement and is exactly the leader Mainers deserve to
have fighting for them in the Senate.
With Roe v. Wade hanging in the balance, Sen. Collins voted to change the
rules of the Senate to ram through the confirmation of Supreme Court
Justice Neil Gorsuch, and then cast the deciding vote to confirm Brett
Kavanaugh to the Court.
And rather than admitting error, she's doubling down on her votes.
With Susan Collins more vulnerable than ever before, now is our time to
take back her seat and send her packing for good.

America PAC to defeat Sen. Collins and replace her with a real pro-choice
fighter?
When Kavanaugh cast his first vote to limit abortion access, Collins ran
to the cameras to defend him.^2 She continues to say that she "does not
regret in the least" her vote, even as Kavanaugh has proven himself to be
a threat to the rights of women and the LGBTQ+ community.^3,4
Collins has also voted to push through more than 30 of Trump's anti-choice
federal judges who have already made names for themselves by upholding
abortion bans and clinic-shutdown laws across the country.^5 Most
recently, Collins shrugged off any pretense of supporting reproductive
freedom when she attended a fundraiser held by one of the most anti-choice
groups in existence.^6
Sara Gideon is the pro-choice champion we need to replace Susan Collins in
2020, and now we know that we're in sight of winning that seat for the
people of Maine — the majority of whom support reproductive freedom. But
we can't let up, even for a moment.
