Cross Posted at Turn Maine Blue
This spring, Senator Joe Lieberman crossed party lines to endorse embattled Republican Senator and fellow "moderate" Susan Collins. On June 21st, Lieberman will once again cross party lines- this time to host a fundraiser for Senator Collins.
We shouldn't be surprised. Like Lieberman, Collins has been an unwavering supporter of President Bush's disastrous policies in Iraq. Two weeks ago, both Collins and Lieberman issued yet another blank check to the President by voting for an Iraq War supplemental bill that contained no timeline for withdrawal of American troops. And just last week, Joe Lieberman once again stated he is "happy" with the progress he sees Iraq.
Collins is getting a hand up from special interests and other enablers of the Administration. This month, I am asking for your help to close the gap and to help slow down 'Joementum.' Send a message to Lieberman and so-called "moderate Republicans" by joining our GrassrootsRaiser. We need to raise $35,000 by June 21st, and we need your support to make that happen.
On June 21st, while Collins, Lieberman, and the Washington elites dine on lobster, I invite you to join me for a New England town hall meeting on Iraq, live online at www.TomAllen.org. I hope to see you there.
