Sen. Susan Collins of Maine has broken from her GOP caucus to support an $827 billion economic recovery compromise package
Usually, Americans United for Change buys ads to lambaste Republicans for opposing issues backed by the liberal, union-supported issue advocacy group initially founded in 2005 to rally against President Bush's Social Security reform plan.

Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins and Arlen Specter for "providing the leadership we need to get the job done."
"Senators Snowe and Collins have worked with President Obama and other senators to reach agreement on a plan that has support from a broad range of groups, including the US Chamber of Commerce and organized labor," says the new ad out in the senators' state of Maine Sunday.
"Call Senators Snowe and Collins today at 202-224-3121. Thank them for their leadership and tell them to keep fighting for a plan to get our economy moving again."
