The Maine Republican Party, attempting to hurt Senate Candidate and current Congressman Tom Allen (D,ME-1), issued a press release:

"Congressman Allen really seems to have lost interest in showing up to
work," party Chairman Mark Ellis said in a statement. "At
the very least, he should tell his constituents why he is choosing to leave
them unrepresented in Congress less than a year after he was re-elected."

In news releases last week and this week, the Maine Republican Party
has made an issue of Allen's voting record. They say he's missed 132 votes.

Wow ... in the heat of a contested Senate campaign, the Maine GOP really looked as if they were scoring a big win against Susan Collins rival.

But then the truth came out:

Consumers and patients rely on both federal safety regulations and strong state remedies to safeguard public health. The Food and Drug Administration has been charged with assuring the safety, efficacy, and security of drugs and medical devices. When the FDA fails to meet this responsibility, injured patients have the right to hold drug and device manufacturers accountable through state remedies and the civil justice system.

Federal preemption of state remedies, as seen in the FDA’s recent drug warning label rule, strips away the safety net of state remedies. Recent FDA failures demonstrate that the federal regulatory process must be supplemented by state remedies in order to fully ensure the safety of American families.

You may have never heard of Binding Mandatory Arbitration, but that wouldn’t prevent this unfair practice, visited on unsuspecting consumers, from destroying your life. Buried in the fine print of many consumer contracts for credit cards, new homes and cars are clauses that stack the deck against American consumers, forcing you to give up your rights to seek justice through the courts. And these contracts force you to surrender your rights before a dispute even occurs.
