I recently learned that Senator Susan Collins has an unusual relationship with Bangor Daily News -- one of the largest papers in the state. Apparently, the executive editor of the paper was once Susan Collins' press secretary. Plus, one of Collins' staffers is married to said executive editor. That is a bit cozy in the supposedly neutral world of newspaper journalism. I want to thank Collins Watch for their excellent work!
I also want to point out this excellent article from my local paper on Collins. It is a bit old, but well worth the read. "The senator who cried wolf" This also concerns a cozy relationship with the Bangor Daily News.
Folks, we need to elect Tom Allen to the senate and say goodbye to Susan Collins!
That is right folks. I know it is a radical idea, but when we export mercury, it not only hurts those who import it; it hurts all of us. So, Tom Allen has introduced legislation to halt the exportation of mercury.
As he notes, Maine has tough mercury laws, but we still have a problem because it flows into our state. Read Tom Allen's comments in his post in The Hill Blog, "Mercury Exportation to Developing Countries Must Stop".
When you are done, click here to donate to Tom Allen's senate campaign.
