Video @ Link of Collins being asked if she will support the SAVE Act.

Interesting she says there have been improvements and it is a "work in progress"

She is not saying 'No' to it from my understanding of her comments on video.

Don't call her unless your from Maine though is my advice

Senators think they hold national office and are mini-Presidents. Absolutely call her office. I did about 15 minutes ago.

Susan Collins, ME: (202) 224-2523

Dems are targeting her, that seat is one of their best choices for a Sen pickup. Because of the cheating in Lewiston, the SAVR act is the best choice for her to keep her job.

It has pretty big support even among (non elected) democrats.

How come we can arrest foreign leaders in Venezuela for stealing elections but we can’t even arrest illegals in congress? Our DoJ is a national disgrace. The Senators have nothing to fear from it.

She may have her hands full with the chicoms growing weed in her Maine backyard. YouTube has a few videos. She’s even in one. The perps went through Quontic bank. It’s all the chat up there.

Since she faces a contested primary, you can call her office and tell her that if she votes against it you will contribute to her primary opponent, and then follow through and send her a copy of the receipt.

In the unlikely event that it passes, is the SAVE Act as “permanent” as temporary tax increases and welfare programs have always been? Or will the Democrats repeal it the very next chance they get?

Not defending Collins’ typical RINO stance on pretty much all issues (she’s still better than Murkowski though), but Collins is really between a rock and a hard place on this one because it probably means her career.

Only a complete moron would think that some conservative could beat her in the primary and THEN actually win a general election. In Maine. LOL. She’s the best chance we’ve got in that state, and the only chance.

It’s one thing to root against RINO John Cornyn in Texas, because other viable options exist and Paxton or Hunt *can* win, even if Cornyn goes down in the primary. But guess what — Maine isn’t Texas.

Is it worth losing her Senate seat (Maine isn’t going to be the only one) and as a result possibly giving Democrats full control of the legislative branch in a few months? A knee-jerk answer is easy and obvious, but we’ll see how it shakes out.

Collins and Murkowski can ‘diva’ all they want, but the larger point remains: it’s all about the Senate filibuster rule. Until that changes, it’s all pointless.

My suggestion:

There shall be a tax on each jurisdiction which has a person not having US citizenship on a voter register used for a federal election of $1,000 for each such alien.

There shall be a tax on each state which has an ineligible person on a voter register used for a federal election of held in the state of $50 for each such person.

A copy of the voting register and a time-based listing of changes to it within the timeframe of the election shall be furnished to the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service within the 30 days following the certification. Such additional information as may be necessary to accurately compute the tax shall be promptly furnished to the Commissioner.

A reward of 50% to the honest person or entity instrumental in uncovering the taxable registration. This reward shall not be subject to domestic governmental revenue imposition.

There shall be a tax on each jurisdiction participating a federal election in which lacks a voter register unless the jurisdiction has carefully verified voter eligibility using picture ID of a type suitable for TSA air travel security along with documentary evidence of US citizenship for each ballot cast in the election of $20 per ballot counted by or on behalf of the jurisdiction.

There shall be a tax on each jurisdiction participating a federal election in which for the jurisdiction the number of ballots finally counted in the election exceeds the number of voters in the election of $2,000 per excessive ballot. If the excess is in excess of five plus .5%, the election supervisor of the jurisdiction may be fined $50,000.

There shall be a tax on a ballot counted by a jurisdiction of $20 per ballot with respect to federal election unless the ballot was obtained and contemporaneously cast in person or if the ballot is for a person in federal military service. No fee or tax may be charged by a jurisdiction to obtain an absentee ballot by a person lawfully entitled to receive one.

Fighting in Congress to send middle-class income and property taxation cap constitutional amendments to the states would make Congress turn deep red come 2027.
