The two RINO Republican Senators from Maine, Susan Collins and Olympia Snow, are about to betray the Republican Party and the United States. Their choosing to vote with the Democrats on the Obama Trillion Dollar National Rape bill has to be the most traitorous act since Benedict Arnold.
The only recourse we have is to strike out at the people who voted for these two into office. That would be to boycott the products of the State of Maine.
A good list of the products of Maine can be found with a Google Search.
There is still time for the two Senators to change their mind. Please write them and tell them how their votes will impact the economy of their state.
You can directly Email Senator Collins HERE.
You can directly Email Senator Snow HERE.
If you have time, you could also post on the blogs and guestbooks of the companies that make make Maine products.

Well, well. Time to call LL Bean and give them a piece of my mind. Screw ‘em from now on.
I’m down.
Well...since Benedict McCain suspended his campaign last fall to go vote YEA! on the original porkulus bailout bill, thereby sinking his campaign entirely.
Good idea!
Thank you but the original idea came for PizzaDriver.
Awful idea. Reminds me of the DUmmies when Bush won saying people should only buy products from blue states. Ain’t no way to win over those in the state who disagree with their senator’s vote.
Other than cranberries and the LL Bean shop, does Maine still actually produce anything?
FOREVER.
If not for Michigan, Maine would have the poorest economy and the poorest leadership. No, wait, I forgot New Jersey. And Illinois. And Massive2shitts.
Anyway, I feel sorry for the poor people of Maine. They’re my neighbors and they deserve better.
We were already going to stop buying Poland Spring and use the fridge water filter.
Not for stupid environmental reasons, money or to send a message to the two RINOs from Maine...just because there was no reason to pay for it.
Now I can say this was the reason! Send them an e-mail on my behalf and blame it on their stupidity.
Don’t forget Pennsylvania and Spectre.
Maple syrup, wild blueberries, and summer vacations.
What LLBean products aren’t imported these days?
Done! I urge everyone to email these shameful traitors and boycott all Maine Products!
“Maple syrup, wild blueberries, and summer vacations.”
If that’s all they have to market I’ve already been doing it for most of my 71 years.
Screw Maine. We’d be better off with them voting Democrats into the Senate. At least then we’d know where everyone stands.
Good idea! With you all the way! Screw Maine! You sold our national soul for some pork from the federal government!
Collins is now on the Atlas Shamed list!
Exactly! Who buys over-priced crap from LL Bean anyway? What else worth buying does anyone buy exclusively from Maine? I personally don’t think boycotts work. Anybody have any dirt on either of them...tax cheats, perhaps? Let’s get busy researchin...
I love Toms of Maine and LL Bean... oh, well... too bad I’ll not be buying them now.
Honestly, I look at this differently than you.
Collins and Snowe didn’t cause this to pass. It was going to pass anyway. What they did, if recent reports are right, was voted for cloture but not before shaving $100-$200 billion off of it. Since it will come to a conference committee and be brought back up for a vote in both chambers before it goes to the president, what they accomplished was to see what could be trimmed from this debacle.
I think the political war over this is still active because there has been even more exposed about it since the House vote and more pressure is apt to be applied before it passes.
If you’re disgusted by the compromise, get used to it. It’s what is in store for at least the next two years and probably longer. This is the state of both parties - legislation as liberal as the most liberal Republican will agree to.
