From a verified voter in Lewiston, METariffs crashed the economy in 1828 and 1930. Why should 2025 be different
We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.
From a constituent in Damariscotta, MEPresident Trump has declared April as National Child Abuse Prevention month. But why not embrace this declaration of National Child Abuse Prevention month and do something good for children. It is a ruse to go after gender affirming health care. I propose you actively work to pass laws that protect
From a constituent in Berwick, MESupport Trade Review Act
senate_both I am writing to ask that the Senator support the Trade Review Act. President Trump apparently has no idea of the actual purpose of tariffs and is instead using them as a way to punish other countries, when in fact the people who will pay the most--literally and figuratively--are American
From a verified voter in Ellsworth, MESAVE LiHEAP! Don’t freeze poor Mainers!
Trump just AXED the program that pays for my heat in winter. I ALREADY wear multiple layers, heavy socks and a ski cap indoors. Looks like I’ll need to sleep in a heavy coat, gloves, scarf and boots next winter. Feels like Trump wants to KILL all us poor people. I’m 63F disabled in Section 8 hou
From a verified voter in South Portland, MENo on budget reconciliation
I understand that Senate Republicans plan to use “ tricks” to pass a budget resolution that will slash Medicaid and SNAP and blow up the deficit. They are even talking about going around the Parliamentarian in order to do so. How dare they? My son is intellectually disabled and relies on Medicaid.
From a verified voter in South Portland, MEEnd the “emergency” - stop the tariffs!
I’m because I’m furious about Trump’s tariffs! They are going to crash our economy, destroy our standing in the world, and financially wreck Americans like me. Congress has the power to repeal them by ending Trump’s so-called emergency, and they must. If Congress doesn’t step in right now to prote

I’m terrified that Trump might invoke the insurrection act! Please put pressure wherever you can to prevent this. Martial law in the US of A?!?? This CANNOT be allowed to happen. Senators Snowe, I beg you to break with republicans on this. This is a moral and ethical issue - you KNOW, Trump has
From a constituent in South Portland, MELIHEAP staff cuts
I was so disturbed this morning when I read the everyone working in the LIHEAP program has been terminated. This move effectively ends a program that was authorized by Congress.

From a constituent in South Portland, MEStop the Irresponsible Budget Shell Game
I am outraged that Congress is moving forward with a massive budget resolution that slashes federal spending without being honest with the American people about where these cuts will come from.

From a verified voter in South Portland, MEProtect Medicaid and snap!

I’m calling to ask the your office to demand investigations into the Signal breach. Putting national defense information on Signal qualifies as gross negligence, which is a felony.
