Mass. Special Senatorial Election on 1/19/10

wouldn't that be a hoot if "none of the above" won.

FACT: Either Coakley or Brown will be elected Senator
FACT: If Coakley is elected she'll vote for Obama care
FACT: If Brown is elected he'll vote against Obama care (he'll be the 41st Republican to support the filibuster)

WARNING to Tea Party Activists and Supporters, Town Hall Meeting Protesters, and Tax Cutters living in Massachusetts who are even considering voting for Scott Brown for US Senate January 19th:

Career politician Scott Brown is an 11-year Big Government Republican state legislator who regularly and repeatedly voted FOR bigger state government budgets, voted FOR expanded and new Big Government programs, voted FOR tax increases, and voted AGAINST tax cuts.

Before you freak out, we do NOT want you to stay home - or vote for Martha Coakley. You have a far better choice - a choice that gives your vote 100 times its normal impact. What's more, if you choose this option, you will dramatically strengthen the Tea Party Movement - and radically increase the number of TRUE tax cut and spending cut candidates on the ballot this November.

We'll go into Big Government legislator Scott Brown's sorry record of the last 11 years, and offer you a powerful way to make the political establishment listen to the Tea Party movement, but first:

Who are we? What have we done to earn your attention? Why should you take us seriously?

We're Carla Howell and Michael Cloud, Tea Party activists and the 2 most prominent Tax Cut activists in Massachusetts for the last 10 years. We co-sponsored and ran Ballot Question 1 to END the state income tax in 2002 and 2008. We are running this year's Ballot Initiative to Roll Back the Sales Tax from 6.25% to 3%.

We know every single real tax cutter in Massachusetts. We know every major phony and fake friend of taxpayers. Every slick, smooth-talking
chameleon who tries to blend in with tax cutters - while he VOTES FOR TAX HIKES, VOTES FOR PROPERTY TAX INCREASES (Prop. 2 ½ overrides), and CAMPAIGNS AGAINST and VOTES AGAINST A MAJOR TAX CUT.

Scott Brown is the worst fake tax-cutter in the Massachusetts legislature. And a fake ally is more dangerous than an open enemy.

"By their fruits shall ye know them," counsels the Scriptures. "Actions speak louder than words," says the proverb. And, correcting Emerson, "What you do speaks so loudly I cannot hear a word you say."

We must judge Scott Brown on his political actions during the last 11 years.

Fact: Election Eve, Monday, November 3rd, 2008: Scott Brown went on WTKK RADIO and urged voters to VOTE AGAINST Ballot Question 1, to END the Massachusetts state income tax. Scott Brown allied himself with the National and state Teachers Unions and SEIU (the government employees union that often works with ACORN) - against the taxpayers of Massachusetts.

Fact: Scott Brown has been a state legislator for the last 11 years, but we can't find a single tax cut bill authored, sponsored, or introduced by him that would cut as little as 5% of state government revenue.

Fact: Scott Brown has been a state legislator for the last 11 years, but we can't find even one spending cut bill authored, sponsored, or introduced by him that would cut as little as 5% of total state government spending.

Fact: Scott Brown has been a state legislator for the last 11 years, but we can't find a single waste reduction bill authored, sponsored, or introduced by him that would cut waste as little as 5% of total spending. Polling shows that Massachusetts voters estimate that 41% of their taxes are wasted, but Scott Brown can't even find 5% government waste.

Fact: The biggest tax and spending issue facing Massachusetts this year is our ballot initiative to roll back the sales tax from 6.25% to 3%. Yet we cannot find a single news account or mention at Scott Brown's legislative or campaign web sites where he takes a stand on this issue. He refuses to publicly endorse or campaign for our ballot initiative to roll back the sales tax -- even though it would give Massachusetts families 32,929 new private sector jobs.

Fact: Scott Brown proudly proclaims that he was a key part of the team that designed RomneyCare, the Massachusetts health care reform bill endorsed and backed by Senator Ted Kennedy. Scott Brown helped write, voted for, and endorses the bill provision that forces all Massachusetts workers to buy medical insurance - or pay a penalty tax. (Remember when Bill Clinton swore that oral sex from Monica Lewinsky wasn't sex? Scott Brown, a lawyer, swears that this mandatory fee paid to the government is NOT a tax! )

And now, Scott Brown's provision requiring everyone to buy medical insurance - or pay a mandatory penalty tax - is a key part of the Nancy Pelosi-Harry Reid-Barack Obama Health Care Reform Bill.

Scott Brown campaigns against everything the Tea Party Movement represents. Brown opposes and votes against as little as a 5% tax cut. He opposes and votes against cutting government spending or waste by even 5%. He designed and voted for a key part of the Pelosi-Reid-Obama Health Care bill now being voted on in Washington.

Right now, the mainstream Republican Party loyalists are desperately trying to find even tiny differences between career Republican politician Scott Brown and Democrat Martha Coakley.

The "Republican Party Right-or-Wrong" Partisans are trying to scare and stampede you and us - Tea Party activists, Town Hall Meeting protesters, and tax cutters -into closing our eyes, holding our noses and voting for Brown - out of fear that the alternative is even worse.

They are wrong. And we'll tell you why.

You have a radically better choice. A choice that will advance the Tea Party Cause. A choice that will give us REAL Tea Party candidates and allies in November.

To Be Continued.....

Please send this to every Tea Party blog or web site, every Town Hall Meeting blog or web site, every tax cutter blog or web site, and please share it with your friends in Massachusetts. You may hold the fate of the Tea Party movement in your hands.

my bad.

well i hope that some people in mass aren't paying attention and then vote for kennedy for "the kennedy seat."

I will not vote for him because of his stance on the Same-Sex Marriage Issue. I understand some of you may disagree with me but, as a Christian I believe marriage should be between a man and a woman but Kennedy does not believe so. I realize I live in a very liberal state but this is an issue that is very important if we want God to bless this country. I don’t like Brown either, I wish there was a good candidate for this special election.

She sees it, but doesn't. Once again a one question turnaround----Where does money come from? That's all she needs to consider and it will all come together.
Weird----this is supposed to be in the Naomi Wolfe thread.

The 9/12ers in my area are promoting the Republican candidate, but if you look at his positions you'll see that he is just another everyday neocon.

My vote will definitely be for Joe Kennedy, the Independent. If you will take some time to look at his website, you will see that his political philosophy is quite similar to Ron Paul's. He is a worthy candidate for Senate and blows away the RINO when it comes to fiscal conservatism.

To the infamous family. We should be hoping for a Republican upset here. They would take office immediatly and break the strangle hold the Dems have. The Republican running is against the current health care proposal.

seriously?

and this is a ted kennedy nephew?

wow. next cats will be lying with dogs.

welcome to the ron paul movement mr kennedy!

i guess we should investigate the dude and see how he lines up with liberty views.

But does Ron Paul endorse J. Kennedy?

for freedom
