Mainers Want Fresh New Faces to Repesent them in Washington, DC Such as Oyster Farmer and US Marine Vet Graham Platner, 41. He Served Two Deployments in the US Marines in Iraq and One Deployment in Afghanistan.
One of Numerous Signs at the NO KINGS DAY Rally in June Calling Out Collins for Doing Notdhing to Stand up to Trump Authoriatism on Behalf of Mainers.
Senator Susan Collins has made her position clear; she supports Trump’s illegal war in Iran. As Trump talks about committing war crimes, Susan Collins is standing by and recyling the same failed arguments that dragged the US into the Iraq War and are now pushing us toward another endless war according to a press release issued by the Graham Platner for US Senate campaign released April 3, 2026 afternoon.
“Most of these politicians cheerleading this war from their offices in Washington have never seen war and never will,” said Graham Platner. “Thousands killed and wounded, billions spent and Mainers are left to bear the cost. Senator Colins, I”m asking you, not as your opponent, but as a Mainer and a veteran: end this war. Stop this war machine before it costs any more lives,”
In March, Colins voted against limiting Trump’s war powers, repeating the same warnings about nuclear threats and weapons stockpiles she used to sell the iraq War in 2002. She called that case “indisputable.” It wasn’t and the consequences were catastrophic.
Thousands of American troops never came home, thousands more came back wounded, hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed and taxpayers were forced to spend trillions on a war built on claims Susan Collins helped sell.
Susan Colins cannot be relied on to vote in the best interests of our troops. She has a long record of saying one thing and doing another, claiming she wants to bring troops home while voting to keep them in harm’s way.
Donald Trump said the quiet part out loud. He said he hopes Susan Collins wins because, “otherwise all of the things that we’ve done are gonna go down the tubes”
Whlle Mainers are struggling to afford health care, pay for college, buy a home and start a family, Susan Collins seems more focused on staying in Donald Trump’s good graces than standing up for the people she represents, even when lives are on the line.”
Graham lives in Sullivan with his wife, Amy, just three doors down from the house where he grew up.
“Now the nation is watching and waiting anxiously for the safe return to the US of one of the crew members of the F-15 jet shot down over Iran,” says this blogger “Who will find him first, Iran or the US Black Hawk Helicopters?”
