LD 1264 imposes a new tax on having a baby, hip replacement surgery, cancer treatments, in fact on any medical claim. This law was passed on a straight party-line vote.

Returning the same old candidates to cast the same old votes will lead to the same old results - higher taxes and bigger, more intrusive government.

It’s time for a new game plan. It’s time to send in a new home team. It's time to clean house on November 2.

Why do you suppose your mailbox is getting so littered up with slick, fancy mail from the Maine Republican Party, illed with half-truths and distortions about my record as your State Senator? Open 6 days a week Closed Tuesdays I’ve spent the last two years representing you in Augusta. In that time, I have worked to balance the state SHORE budget while still watching out for Maine’s most needy citizens; worked to protect the environment while also THINGS helping businesses grow; and fought for equality for every person in Maine while ensuring that the legal system 1232 Shore Road, was not compromised. CAPE ELIZABETH 799-3796 The Republican Party says that I “voted for a new law that imposed 102 new taxes.” I worked hard to help de- 20% OFF with this ad velop a tax reform bill that would lower your income tax rate while broadening the sales tax base. Over 90% of Maine taxpayers would have ended the year with a signiicant dollar savings. I thought it was a good eff ort, but the people voted it down. We’ll try to save you money next year with better tax reform.

The Republican Party says I “voted against a bill that would have helped Maine businesses create jobs …” The truth is I voted FOR a lot of bills that helped Maine businesses. That’s why the Greater Portland Chamber of Commerce recognized me for my work in bringing economic development to our region, and the Maine Mer- Bush and Tree chants Association supports my campaign for re-election. Trimming They say I “led Maine to rack up $9 billion in debt.” So did you! Most of that “debt” is money that we all voted for in bond packages for jobs, infrastructure improvements, higher education, and land for Maine’s future. Jon and Sue’ll Do It 773 - 4660 What does the Republican Party stand for? Their party platform, passed at their state convention, calls for the elimination of the Department of Education, calls global warming “a myth,” insists that “healthcare is not a right,” and declares that we should reject the UN treaty on the Rights of the Child.

Pine Tree Books Dan Billings, who has served as an attorney for the Maine GOP, called their platform “nutcase stuff .” Read it yourself on line at www.mainegop.com/PlatformMission.aspx

Look. I am not -- and don’t want to be-- a career politician. But I do want to see Maine continue to move for- ward. I believe that Democratic principles make a diff erence in the lives of Maine people. And I want to help make Maine a better place.
