Arlen Specter Quits The Republican Party; Joins The Democrats

By mpinkeyes on | From americaswatchtower.com

| From ap.org

While working for a marketing firm, Michael Townsend coined the signature phrase that appears on highway signs, T-shirts and tourism promos in these parts: "Maine — the Way Life Should Be."

The 55-year-old Portland resident, who has multiple sclerosis, said his employer-paid health insurance covers less while his deductible has doubled to $4,000 per year.
