Just finished reading Kate Quinn’s The Briar Club… so many parallels to current events. Made me pull out Senator Margaret Chase Smith’s #DeclarationofConscience for some relevant reading too. #booksky

75 years ago, a Republican Senator spoke up for American values...and I ask, where is one willing to do the same today?

@pressherald.com U.S. Senator Angus King (I-ME) warns of creeping authoritarianism. Citing #MargaretChaseSmith 's 1950 #DeclarationofConscience address, #SenatorAngusKing said the issue is #tRump's apparent attempts to centralize power, including by 'ignoring the #Constitution' and the #RuleofLaw.

Mainers: #CallSenatorCollins! Everyone: #CallYourSenator! Keep calling!

It is 75 years since the #RepublicanSenator, the late #MargaretChaseSmith of #Maine, stated her #DeclarationOfConscience. #HeatherCoxRichardson reminds us of this in her post today, which clearly lays out the #corruption of #DonaldTrump's assault on the #USConstitution.
