A  story about Susan Collins

To the Editor;

On Aug. 8, 2009, the small town of Shirley, Maine celebrated its 175th anniversary. Much preparation and love  was involved in Shirley’s special day. Of course, no celebration is complete without a parade.  Many citizens were asked to join us for this eventful occasion, including our state and federal politicians. To our  surprise  but with great appreciation, U. S. Sen. Susan Collins agreed to come and  take part in our celebration. She marched in the parade and at the end of the parade, gave an emotional speech describing our “small town with a very ‘big heart’ and impressive history.”

This story only proves the devotion and dedication that Collins has for our beautiful state which includes the small town of Shirley, Maine. 

Please vote for Susan Collins in November. What would the Senate be like without Maine’s most caring, bipartisan and patriotic friend, Susan Collins.
