Courage, tenacity, and experience are the outstanding qualifications of the Republican challenger for Kennedy's vacant U.S. Senate Seat.  Those words embody the well grounded candidacy of State Senator Scott Brown (R) who is on the ballot as the Republican candidate for the Massachusetts U.S. Senate Seat. Wherever he goes in Massachusetts he is generating high levels of excitement. The crowds cannot seem to get enough of him.  Talk radio and television are getting to know him, airing favorable interviews and repeating his no nonsense-get-it done style.

And he never stops.  He is everywhere.

Working constantly, tirelessly to get his message out to the voters of Massachusetts.  We all know one thing, Scott Brown is a workhorse, he rolls up his sleeves and works hard.  It is refreshing to see someone with that work ethic really working hard to earn the confidence of those who may not know him as well as others do.

He is a star here in Massachusetts because he is the voice of the frustrated taxpayers in the state who work hard everyday and deserve to keep more of what they earn.  He understands that those of us with young families to support share his values and he knows our daily challenges as a family man himself.

State Senator Scott Brown (R) of Wrentham, MA., is a force to be reckoned with. He tells it like it is, as the tide is shifting very slowly and methodically to the right.  Scores of independent voters, are moving to the right to be on Brown’s team, and the right is unified on his candidacy.  It is a tremendous shift.

In heightened contrast Brown is running against the winner of the “one size fits all” group of gutless Democratic sycophants.  Each of them Dems are in lock step with Pelosi’s political agenda.  Socking it to the working men and women of our nation, penalizing them for following the rules, while providing everything for free to the illegals and those who simply choose to not work.

This week you only to have seen one of the candidates who will be in the Democratic primary being interviewed on a local Boston station where she touted visiting her sister, who lives abroad, as foreign relations experience.  To view a small slice go to:

Cut to State Senator Scott Brown, who has served and defended his country for years, first as a State Representative for three terms, and currently serving his  third term as State Senator.  He is a decorated member of the Mass. Army National Guard, serving for almost thirty years holding the rank of Lt. Colonel in the Judge Advocate Corp (JAG) and he is a practicing attorney.    

Scott Brown is a fiscal conservative and a supporter of small business owners.  He understands what makes the economy tick and he has never, in his career, voted for a tax increase.  He has also been a “standout” advocate for children's and victim's rights. 

In Massachusetts the Republicans have a great opportunity to take back the U.S. Senate seat on January 19, 2010.  We all know, however, that money is the mother's milk of all campaigns.  You simply cannot win unless you have the necessary financial support to go toe-to-toe with the Democratic opponent.  And these special elections are typically bloodbaths.

Senator Brown needs and deserves the support of all Republicans and Independents across the nation!  To support

It would appear that Former Massachusetts Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Dukakis (D), has a plan to get to Washington D. C after all.

Do you remember how his attempt ended miserably while running for President? Though most Massachusetts residents would agree we would have quickly handed him over to any other region to get him the heck out of this state. But he never quite made it.

Cut to present day, and along comes Governor Patrick (D) of Massachusetts, who is very close to naming a successor to U. S. Senate, replacing the late Teddy Kennedy. Yesterday the House passed a motion allowing our Governor to appoint Kennedy's successor. The Senate today followed suit. Tomorrow if the emergency preamble passes, Governor Patrick will be making Dukakis' dream come true.

Riding in like the knight in shining armor (rings familiar!), Dukakis goes to D.C. Well, my friend, this just proves if at first you don't succeed.........

That is the question.

U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy's death is resurrecting all the mythology and memories associated with his forty plus years of Democratic demagoguery.  The factual memories, pleasant and unpleasant, and the manufactured revisions of little slices of history, will linger on in the days and weeks ahead as one asks “what will become of Massachusetts now?” 

Nobody knows just who his successor will turn out to be, but the dirty tricks are surfacing again, taken straight out of the Democratic playbook.

One thing we do know for sure is that liberals have rewritten their agenda to characterize OBAMACARE as the legacy of the Kennedy family, in order to ensure passage. Come hell or high water. 

To make sure that this ‘gels’ the players are getting into position to do their dirty work.  First step: amend the law so Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick (D) can appoint Kennedy’s successor. 

2004 was the year when then Republican Governor Mitt Romney was faced with the decision whether to appoint a successor to U.S. Senator Kerry if Kerry were to win the Presidency.  It was decided rather swiftly by the Republicans, with much pressure added from U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy, that the decision belonged to the people of Massachusetts.  And that it would not serve the interests of the people of the Commonwealth to take away their right to a vote.

Republicans agreed, and did the right thing, and so the law was overturned.

It’s worth noting, again, that it happened under U.S. Senator Kennedy’s forceful hand and the strong influence of the democratic leadership in our state at the time.

Now that the Democrats have the Governor's office, all of those same people who were outraged over the prospect of a Republican Governor appointment, are now demanding it back.

Need I say more? I think I do!

Why is this issue so important?  Because giving the tie breaking vote to the Democrats enables them to push through legislation. For this to occur with the help of an appointed politician is an injustice. In fact, it's call it legislative robbery.

And this is precisely what the Democrats in D.C. plan on doing, they are salivating at the thought of pushing government controlled programs down our throats while they work to attain the majority they need in all branches.

A much publicized letter with a July date stamp, purporting to be from Senator Kennedy, is being used to promote this Massachusetts legislative flip flop. It notably calls attention to his staff as being out of a job very soon.  It should be said that a simpler, better way to have handled this whole matter would have been for Senator Kennedy to have resigned in March thus laying the ground work for a proper election, and one sans Gubernatorial appointment.  Strikes me odd to worry about a lack of representation when Kennedy in fact missed 97 percent of the Senate roll-call votes this year.

Republicans did the right thing.  Can the Democrats do the right thing?

Perhaps Governor Patrick will sign his last term eviction notice because if he follows the appointment path, he is sure to find himself unemployed on January 6, 2011.

Let the people decide.

Without manipulation, and with an election, the average citizen and taxpayer is deserving of choosing who Kennedy's successor will be.

I asked the state GOP leadership what their thoughts were on the topic.  

"Changing the rules midstream is inherently unfair and wrong," said House Minority Leader Bradley H. Jones, Jr. (R-North Reading).  "As a nation of laws we cannot embrace changing this law midstream because the power brokers in Washington want it."

Senate Minority Leader Richard Tisei (R) "A special election date has been set, and we should allow the voters of the Commonwealth to choose their next U.S. Senator.  We should not change this law – or any law – every time there’s a change in the corner office."

Jennifer Nassour, Chairman of the Massachusetts Republican Party  said “We’re outraged at the Democrats’ manipulation of the law to grab political power here in Massachusetts. Republicans nationwide—from Texas to Nevada—are contacting me to voice their concern about this hypocrisy.  Democrats cannot change election laws in Massachusetts every time it suits their needs.  Today we launched an on line petition drive and viral Facebook campaign to defend democracy here in the Commonwealth.  I encourage all concerned citizens to sign the petition on our website, and also plan ahead to attend next week’s hearing at the State House’s Gardner Auditorium on Wednesday at 1:00 pm.” 

Activism to preserve the voter's rights is alive and well here in Massachusetts. 

To join the fight, go to the MASS GOP link here.  

Just two weeks after the passing of his sister, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, US Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) died of cancer at the age of 77.  The youngest Kennedy brother, he won a special election at the age of 30 in 1962 to fill the remainder of the term for the US Senate seat his brother, John, vacated when he became President.

Regardless of what you feel about about the man's policies, he served for an extraordinary time in the US Senate, with 47 years of service.
