Ethics investigation into Susan Collins NOW. Get big money out of politics

Please call for an ethics investigation on Senator Susan Collins's campaign donations from PACs and individuals whom she has steered contracts to.
If the chair of the appropriations committee has directed contracts to businesses whose agents contribute to a senator's PACs or campaign funds, then it's likely that laws of have broken.
Democracy should not be for sale. Our elected representatives should work for us; they should not be prioritising the special needs of businesses who've donated to them. And yet we see that happening again and again.
Since the disclosures about NAVATEK, its shell company, and super pac donations to Collins, further revelations have come to light. There are now allegations about projects at the university of Maine building small craft that the navy never needed. And yet DoD contracts funded these go-nowhere projects. Now there are further questions about how GEICO and Core Civic profit from ICE contracts, the very same contracts approved by senate approps.
This is immoral, improper, and surely illegal. And it appears to be a long term pattern and practice of Susan Collins during her much vaunted tenure on the approps committee.
Please:
1. Refer Senator Collins to the senate ethics committee.
2. Investigate all circumstances associated with the closure of the FBI investigation into the NAVATEK affair and Senator Collins.
3. Legislate to get money out of politics and stop members from trading stocks while in office.
4. End citizens United.
But start where you can, now. Refer Susan Collins to the Ethics committee.
