As USA Today, which obtained a copy of the four-page letter from FACT, noted, Collins “has reported receiving threatening calls and letters as well as more than 3,000 wire coat hangers” from those who believe Kavanaugh would vote to repeal Roe v. Wade.
Newsmax reported of the crowdfunding campaign:
Collins agrees that the crowdfunding campaign is attempting to bribe her. She told Newsmax: “I consider this quid pro quo fundraising to be the equivalent of an attempt to bribe me to vote against Judge Kavanaugh. If I vote against him, the money is refunded to the donors. If I vote for him, the money is given to my opponent for the 2020 race.” She added, “This effort will not influence my vote at all … I think it demonstrates the new lows to which the judge’s opponents have stooped.”

Newsmax reported of the crowdfunding campaign:
A left-leaning activist organization, Mainers for Accountable Leadership (MFAL), is teaming up with an organization called the Maine People’s Alliance, to crowdsource a fundraising campaign targeting Collins in her 2020 re-election if she votes to confirm Kavanaugh. But the fundraising has a catch. “Donors” are asked to pledge a donation against Collins, money that will only be charged to their credit card if she makes a yes vote for President Trump’s nominee.
