Be informed, don't be fooled

The blue wave is already here in the form of political signs. The Republican hopefuls are hiding behind the color blue, believing voters will be fooled. A big blue sign with a tiny red stripe screams Republican to me. Gov. LePage stated that voters don’t really understand what they vote for, so he needs to […]

I was appalled to see a full page advertisement (Feb. 2) praising Sen. Susan Collins for her vote for the Keystone pipeline. It was paid for by the Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions. How does allowing a foreign country the right to build a pipeline, carrying the dirtiest oil ever, through the heart of this […]
