Maine senator runs afoul of PFAW

by James Oliphant


On the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, People for the American Way, the liberal interest group, is going after Sen. Susan Collins, the moderate Maine Democrat, for siding with the Bush administration on judicial nominees.

Collins is up for reelection next year and PFAW wants to make sure Maine voters know she voted to confirm Justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. The ad, narrated by the now-gravelly-voiced actor Kathleen Turner, is set to run next week on radio stations across Maine.

There's also a video version of the ad here. (You can tell it's an attack ad because Collins' picture is seen first in color and then fades to black and white.) In the ad, Turner says:

Senator Susan Collins says she’s pro-choice, but she voted for George Bush’s Supreme Court nominees.

Now, the Supreme Court is poised to dismantle women's choice piece by piece.

When it came to the Supreme Court, Susan Collins didn’t stand up for our rights. She stood with George W. Bush.

This week, tell Susan Collins to oppose judges who oppose Maine values.

We need to make the 'moderate' Northeastern Republican as extinct as the dodo.

2. Please help to get that AD on the Air!!

PFAW urgently needs funds now to get this message out to every voter . . .



When you vote for President or for a Senator this fall, you're voting for the Supreme Court.

Last week PFAW unveiled its first Take Back the Court radio ads in Maine. I recorded the ads
to remind voters that we simply can't afford any more so-called "pro-choice" Senators who will
vote to confirm Supreme Court nominees like Roberts and Alito. . . not this year.

PFAW must have additional funds to get radio ads more air time in Maine and in other critical states.

And they must have funds for a massive campaign to

MAKE THE SUPREME COURT A CENTRAL ISSUE IN THE 2008 CAMPAIGN.
