Worried about the Post Office and Vote by Mail? We are too but we hold Susan Collins responsible.

In 2003 Susan Collins chaired the Senate committee on Governmental Affairs that appointed James Miller to the USPS Board of Governors.
Who is James Miller? 1/ Image
James Miller was the Director of OMB in the Reagan White House and wrote a pro-privatization paper “it’s time to free the mails.”
In 2001 he became the Director of Charles Koch’s Citizens for a Sound Economy and advanced the privatization of the USPS. 2/ Image
When he was appointed to the USPS Board of Governors Susan Collins asked him if he wanted to privatize the USPS.

He said YES. 3/ Image

.@realDonaldTrump’s order to delay payroll taxes is a shameless stunt to try to defund Social Security and Medicare in the midst of a pandemic.

@SenatorCollins understands this, and yet she is letting Trump attack seniors - a key constituency she has pledged to protect.

THREAD
The payroll tax directly funds Social Security and Medicare.

Trump's elimination of this tax, temporary or not, is meant to undermine these programs and hurt vulnerable seniors.

The President is robbing our seniors for a political stunt.
350,000 Mainers are on Social Security. 335,000 are on Medicare. They cannot afford a cut to that program - temporary or permanent.

And, unfortunate for them, they need @SenatorCollins to stand up for them.

She needs to know that her inaction is abuse.
