D’Amboise for U.S. Senate 2012

Maine’s primary elections are still months away but the race for Sen.

Jan

Letter to the Editor, Cliff Rideout

At a local Republican meeting recently, I met Scott D'Amboise. He is a fine man with good convictions. He loves this state and this country and will fight for freedom and jobs here in Maine for Mainers, unlike Olympia Snowe. She seems to have a global agenda and has forgotten who voted her into office and what she needs to do to represent Maine's...

Letter to the Editor, Andy Young

Editor, Why does Maine’s media treat Olympia Snowe like a sacred cow? Recently the senator told a fawning MaineToday Media editorial board Washington is paralyzed by politics. That’s about as newsworthy as reporting Labor Day falls on a Monday this year. Snowe further reported she misses the days when conservative Democrats and moderate...

Expect more from Snowe than embarrassment

Aug

Letter to the Editor, Patricia L. Connors

How many times during the last several years have we heard that Sen. Olympia Snowe is disappointed or embarrassed with Congress? Is she including herself? Such remarks from our senior senator are insulting. Does she think we are so naive to believe that a senator with 30-plus years in Congress can't make a difference? Shouldn't we expect more from...
