An Open Letter

To: Rep. Golden

From: A verified voter in Southwest Harbor, ME

April 1

The following three bills are a test for you. You say you represent your constituents. But talk is cheap. How you vote on these bills will tell the voters of Maine all they need to know about whether you will actually do the hard work for them, or if your words are just hollow. H.R.1702 - JUDGES Act of 2025
This bill will "limit the geographic reach of certain federal rulings, to prevent temporary restraining orders from being enacted nationwide."  Using this approach to federal rulings will give us different laws in different states until there is a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court. This effectively will make federal laws irrelevant. 
If you represent the people of Maine you need to vote NO on this bill.   

H.R. 22 - SAVE Act 
This bill is obviously voter suppression that will make it MUCH harder for many Maine people to register to vote - including people who lack the financial resources to obtain official documents that prove who they have always been from official sources as well as any woman who has ever had a name change for any reason. If you represent the people of Maine you need to vote NO on this bill.

S.J.Res.18 - A joint resolution disapproving the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to "Overdraft Lending: Very Large Financial Institutions"
This bill is designed to eliminate the caps on overdraft fees from banks - so banks can make more money from people who are already struggling. Plain and simple, passing this bill will do nothing other than force most Mainers to pay more in overdraft fees, for no good reason. If you represent the people of Maine you need to vote NO on this bill. Rep. Golden: no, no, no!
