    In the last two years, as a result of the majority GOP legislature, Maine's clean elections have been virtually "wiped" out. This makes it very difficult for middle class citizens to run for our citizen political offices.

  • Congress: cut costs by giving up your retirement pensions and health care
    We are all affected because we get to pay for these. Congress might not be in such a hurry to cut Social Security and Medicare if they had to rely on them instead of receiving premium health care and fat pensions for life just because they served in Congress. Service should be an honor rather than a profession with lifetime rewards.
