    "Twelve years is long enough to be in public service, make a contribution, and then come home and let someone else take your place.” That's in 96. She's running in 2020 & hopes to hold her seat for 30 years.

    Collins repeatedly pledged to serve only 2 terms. She'll be seeking her 5th term in 2020. I'm a voter. When I asked her staff why she reneged on this pledge, I was told they didn't "have a statement" on the topic. Perhaps will have better luck getting an answer.

    . Good piece on running for FIFTH term. She repeatedly promised to serve only TWO terms (see 96 & 02 transcript/letter). I'm a voter. Her staff told me they "don't have a statement" from her on breaking this promise. Would YOU ask her?

    Yet another reason to like Congresswoman : she agrees with Emma Goldman who said, “If I can't , I don't want to be part of your revolution."

    Davids's fans in Maine are happy to see her taking the oath today!

    Lovely moment as 1st 2 / Congresswomen take the oath of office. I'm so pleased & proud to have contributed a small amount to each of their campaigns. Makes it feel special for ME today, too!

    If she won in 2020, she'd serve until 2027. She went into office in 1997. She promised to limit herself to a total of 2 terms. 12 is less than 30, right?

    gets inaugurated, next day partisan group releases "report" claiming universal isn't worth the cost. In fact, this has been widely studied & various plans compared. ALL conclude benefits of universal preK benefits dramatically outweigh costs.

    Universal has such a good return on tax dollars that red states like took the lead in program development. Benefits outweigh costs after 8 yrs. By 2050, the return is $8.90 for every $1 in cost.

    Sorry for the slur attached. It's PROOF should've known better. Wiktionary lists pitch thrown at head, US 1940s baseball slang as 2nd definition, but adds this is no longer in usage. First definition is US, ethnic slur, offensive. Research took .26 secs.

    From start to finish, Governor used the occasion of her inauguration to celebrate our communities & remind us all why we love to call this place . It was the most remarkable public ceremony I've ever seen.

    It really is terrifying. We've got to PAY ATTENTION & tell our members of Congress that they need to exercise oversight.
