Sen. Margret Chase Smith’s response to Joe McCarthy: “The right thing is not always the popular and easy way. Standing up for what is right when it is unpopular is a true test of character.”

Senator Mitch McConnell’s response to impeachment: No questions asked, no witnesses/documents called, and President Trump will not be removed from office.

McConnell has broken his oath for “impartial justice and uphold the constitution.” I ask Sen. Susan Collins, shouldn’t he be recused?

In August 2016, Sen. Collins stated: “It is impossible to support Mr. Trump due to his lack of…

Global warming is now a crisis, but there is a way you can help both the planet and your budget. HR 763 would place a fee on carbon based fuel ( gas, oil and coal) and return that money directly and equally to every American. A family of four would get about $288 monthly starting a month before the fees start. This would allow people to afford the estimated 15 cent increase per gallon on gas and oil in the first year . The fee on fossil fuels and the dividend would increase yearly until the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is reduced adequately to stop global warming.

US senator Edward Markey has written to several offshore wind developers calling for them to enter into project labour agreements (PLA) for all planned developments off Massachusetts and the larger east coast of the country.

The Democrat senator for Massachusetts wrote to Vineyard Wind, Orsted, Mayflower Wind and Equinor saying that a PLA would ensure that newly created jobs in the offshore wind industry are good-paying, safe and filled with a highly skilled local union workforce.

He said: “The introduction of offshore wind facilities off the coast of Massachusetts…

Since winning his Senate race against Democrat Heidi Heitkamp a year ago, Cramer hasn’t changed his speaking style even though it was widely viewed as a liability on the campaign trail by Republicans and Democrats.
