  • June 28, 2018 Dear Senator, We, the Undersigned, Are Members of Issue
    June 28, 2018 Dear Senator, We, the undersigned, are members of Issue One’s ReFormers Caucus — a coalition of former members of Congress, Cabinet officials and governors representing all fifty states — writing to strongly urge you to co-sponsor the bipartisan, bicameral Honest Ads Act. The bill is a carefully crafted first step to address foreign meddling in U.S. ​ politics. The Honest Ads Act is also the first bill created in response to outside interference in the 2016 elections. There is encouraging widespread agreement: The Intelligence Community Assessment and both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees concur that foreign actors interfered in the 2016 U.S. elections through the use of paid, online advertisements on some of the largest internet platforms — all to divide Americans and weaken the country. These ads — some of which were paid for in rubles — targeted certain American voters in an attempt to sow discord and manipulate our political system. It is imperative that Congress act now in response to this national security crisis created by Russia and other non-state actors in order to protect our free and fair elections from foreign intrusions in the future. For decades, disclosure rules governing political advertising in print, radio and television have improved transparency and accountability by providing American consumers with vital information. While rules involving these types of media have proven successful, hardly any disclosure rules exist for the digital frontier and online advertisements. The Honest Ads Act simply seeks to update our 20th century laws and requires similar disclosure requirements as television and radio advertisements.

  • MAINE POLITICAL BRIEFING Primary: 6/14 US SENATE RACE Roll
    This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu May 20, 1994 MEMORANDUM TO SENATOR DOLE FROM: SUZANNE HELLMANN RE: MAINE POLITICAL BRIEFING Primary: 6/14 U.S. SENATE RACE Roll Call and Cook rate this a "toss-up." A confidential poll done right after Mitchell's announcement showed Snowe in the lead by 8 points. This information was not released. o Closure of Loring AFB is an important issue for the Snowe campaign as Rep. Andrews supported the closure and Snowe opposed it. Two other military facilities - the Portsmouth Shipyard and Brunswick Naval Station - could also face some cut-backs or closure in the future. Interestingly, the Pentagon announced on 5/3 that it will locate a 750-job defense accounting center at Loring, one of 25 sites chosen nationwide to consolidate the work of 300 existing defense accounting centers. Loring officially closes in late summer, but many of the 4,600 employees have already left. (Andrews does not support the bill to delay further base closures) . o Gun control is a big issue. Andrews supports gun control and Snowe opposes it. Their recent vote reflects that -- this is viewed as a negative for Andrews as the Maine population is made up of avid game hunters. o The Health Security Act could cause the loss of 3,852 - 4,800 jobs in Maine and a possible 106,179 could face reduced wages, hours or benefits. o Courting the Perot voters will be important as he received 30% of the vote as did Bush.
