Radio Ad Hits Snowe-Mello on Animal Welfare

Chuck Quintero from the Maine Senate Democratic Campaign Committee sends over an anti-Snowe-Mello radio spot playing in District 15 and provides this comment:

We think this is an issue that is pertinent to voters of District 15. Lois Snowe-Mello has lied to voters about her role in the puppy mill and changed her story, voters need to know about that. How can they trust her to stand up for them if she protects the special interests. This is a clear distinction between Deb and Lois. Deb was against puppy mills and Lois was protecting the owners, who are now fugitives from the law.

Time and time again Lois Snowe-Mello has made the wrong choice when it comes to standing up for those most in need, whether it be the atrocities of a puppy mill or her vote to take away healthcare from more than 18,000 Maine families. It is clear that special interests come first for her.

On the other hand you have Deb Simpson who has worked hard on behalf of those without a voice, the most at risk among us. Deb has supported increased regulation and enforcement of puppy mills and kennels, worked hard stop local governments from seizing Mainer’s property and turning it over to big developers, and protected some of the most vulnerable Mainers by keeping guns out of the hands of convicted domestic abusers.

At the very least he isn't paying attention.

Snowe-Mello has my vote. She has common sense and works to protect Mainers from desecration and scrapping of our rights under the US Constititon and the Bill of Rights. When Animal Welfare Division initially mentioned its intent to invade our homes 24/7/365 at will and without cause or warrant, the agency showed its true colors. How sad we live in a state where the elderly in 7 nursing homes are starved and left cold so a radical animal rightist agency could continue to seize private property at will. Our tax money is limited. Let's feed and keep warm preserving the lives of Maines most vulnerable people in nursing homes -- not blowing those precious tax bucks as some out of stater wants "gonad gutting" every cat and dog in the state while she works hard to promote HSUS agenda to eradicate all pet and farm animals within the generation now already born. As expensive as food is to feed our childen, we're going to look as crazy as we are if we let these in and out of state con artists turn us against our will into vegetarians. We're already in trouble with out lobster fishermen unable to get more than $2.00 for lobsters. If these state animal radicals aren't booted out of office we'll have no fishing jobs and no meat animal left in the state.

puppies

What a crazy rant. No one is trying to turn you into a vegetarian against your will.

We're talking about Snowe-Mello defending animal abuse committed by people who are now wanted fugitives. Try to confuse the issue all you want, but there's no way Snowe-Mello should continue to be a state Senator.

Carol Murphy is that you?

We missed your insane ranting I thought they already locked you up for animal abuse in Farmington?

This is an issue bigger than puppies(although they are cute).

Lois is out of touch.

Deb has been there when it counted end of story.

A bit shocked-on my part

Having walked into a place where Lois is well known, I stated "isn't it too bad that Lois did not win the election". Much to my surprise, most of the people did not vote for her and started a rampage about "dogs and wanting lower prices for them so poor people could afford them. If they can't afford dogs, they can't afford food". Guess I was not up on the press. So, I came on these pages to find everyone talking about puppies. My golly, did we actually spend money hashing over puppies in the Senate? My new impression is - unimpressed!
