John—

A stunning new poll of Maine voters finds that Susan Collins' approval
rating has fallen to 35% — even worse than Trump's in the state.^1

We're not surprised. For decades, Susan Collins has told voters that she
supports abortion rights and would defend Roe v. Wade. But when it really
mattered, she stabbed women in the back — and the voters of Maine — by
casting a decisive vote to confirm anti-choice Justice Brett Kavanaugh to
the Supreme Court.

We're staffing up a campaign office and hiring an organizing team in Maine
to recruit and train the volunteers we'll need to defeat Susan Collins in
2020. Will you make a donation?

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll make a donation of $15 to NARAL Pro-Choice
America PAC to defend abortion rights and defeat Susan Collins.

One thing is abundantly clear: Susan Collins is in deep, deep trouble.

Out-of-state, right-wing millionaires like Leonard Leo — the anti-choice
activist who recommended Brett Kavanaugh to Trump — are pouring money into
her campaign to try to bail her out. But it's not working. Collins's
opponent, pro-choice champion Sara Gideon, out-raised Collins last quarter
with the help of a flood of small donor contributions.^2

Voters in Maine are furious at Susan Collins, and she deserves every bit
of their anger. 

She said she wouldn't vote for a Supreme Court nominee who would put
Roe at risk, and then she did — not only casting the deciding vote for
Kavanaugh, but also giving a speech from the floor of the Senate
announcing her vote by distorting his record and attacking pro-choice
advocates who had supported her in the past.

Senator Collins said it was "absurd" to think that Brett Kavanaugh would
overturn precedent and repeal Roe.^3 And yet the Supreme Court just
announced that it will hear its first abortion rights case since Kavanaugh
was confirmed, on a Louisiana law that is identical to the law that the
Supreme Court struck down in the Whole Woman's Health case in 2016.^4

One poll could be a fluke. Two polls is the beginning of a trend. We now
have a whole series of polls all showing the same thing: Voters in Maine
are outraged at Susan Collins.^5 Now we need your help to vote her out.

[ [link removed] ]Donate now to help secure the resources needed to fund a campaign
office on the ground in Maine to defeat Susan Collins in 2020.

Thank you for all you do for reproductive freedom,

Ilyse Hogue
President, NARAL Pro-Choice America
