Maine People Turn Out to Urge a "No" Vote on Alito

The Lewiston campus of the University of Southern Maine was the site of an energetic and, at times, contentious town hall meeting about the confirmation of Judge Samuel Alito last Thursday night. Members of the community directed questions and comments to a staff representative from Senator Snowe's office (Senator Collins' office didn't send anyone) in a packed town hall meeting which took place between 7-8:30pm, asking, “Senator Snowe, Senator Collins, will you vote to protect the rights of Maine people—yes or no?”
