Another Susan Collins Scandal with AM General. Investigate & censure
360 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!
More data about Senator Susan Collins quid pro quo campaign donations following contracts has emerged.
Collins and her associate PACs received major donations from a contractor that had not donated to her for many years after she rubber stamped government purchase contracts for vehicles that the army did not need.
Collins arranged for a 345 million dollar purchase of TRUCKS THE ARMY DID NOT NEED from AM General.
Further revelations concern Lockheed Martin. The Portland Press Herald reports that "LOCKHEED MARTIN SHOWERED SUSAN COLLINS WITH CASH AS F-35 PROGRAM HIT TURBULENCE
"COLLINS RECEIVED TENS OF THOUSANDS FROM LOCKHEED DURING A 2-MONTH PERIOD SURROUNDING
A CRITICAL 2023 WATCHDOG REPORT."
We want to be represented by elected officials who work for us and have clean hands. No quid pro quo shady issues with corporate donors. In all the cases reported, Collins activity did not benefit the DoD nor her constituents. The donors enriched Collins campaign war chest and super PACs.
The possibility for this kind of corruption associated with Appropriators is built into the system. But these latest revelations are only two among the several linked to Senator Collins.
There is also the Navatek scandal which saw people imprisoned. And there is a scandal linked to funds for sea craft which the army did not need or even buy.
This is not misfortune or carelessness. It's an abuse of appropriations power. It's corrupt and illegal. Congress needs to clean its house and must not tolerate fraud, lying, sexual misconduct or campaign enrichment stunts. Collins needs to be investigated, censured, and removed from her committee assignments.
