We Did It!


The Boston Herald's headline was "He Did It!" in reference to Scott Brown's victory in the Massachusetts Special Senate election. A more appropriate title could be "We Did It!"

This campaign proved when We The People get involved in the political process, great things happen.

It's common knowledge that for decades moderate and conservative Massachusetts residents have had no representation in Washington.

What is not necessarily common knowledge is what went on behind the scenes in order for Scott Brown to get elected.

Start with the introduction of Obamacare. Congressmen across the country held Town Hall meetings to hear from their constituents. Yet our MA Representative, Bill Delahunt, made himself unavailable, as he was rubbing shoulders with Chavez in Venezuela.

So a faithful group of dedicated Tea Party patriots met several times outside Bill Delahunt's Main Street Hyannis office to protest.



On this particular cold, rainy day, we had no idea we would soon be celebrating the victory of a US Senator who would oppose the government takeover of healthcare on our behalf. And we would be impassioned enough to help him get elected.

When then State Senator Scott Brown announced he would run for US Senate, he asked us to get signatures just to put his name on the ballot. I recall the six hours it took my husband and me to get 100 signatures, and all the hostility that accompanied it.

While Brown was victorious on the night of the Primary election, the number of votes he received compared to Coakley was diminutive. We understood the next hurdle would be helping Scott Brown get name recognition.

So we the people got involved. We blogged, emailed, texted, tweeted, ninged, blipped, and posted on facebook. We volunteered our time at the campaign headquarters, making calls and getting Scott Brown's name out there. We donated the few dollars we had in this Obama-poor economy and encouraged others to do the same.

And something truly remarkable happened. As we made phone calls, as we spoke to friends, as we canvassed neighborhoods, Scott Brown's message of Bold New Leadership began to catch on.

Conservatives in Twitter circles started to pay attention. A new hashtag was created, #masen, just for the Massachusetts Senate election. The power and significance of the social networking revolution can not be overstated.

In the end, we really did it - Scott Brown, his staffers and volunteers, tea party patriots, social networkers, and fed-up MA voters - all joined forces to fight and defeat the political machine of corruption otherwise known as the MA Democratic Party. What happened in Massachusetts on January 19, 2010 is just the beginning. May millions all across this great nation join with us in shouting "We Can Do It, Too!"

SAVING THE PEOPLE’S SEAT


by blog contributor Mark Swan

How do we prevent Martha Coakley and her Fraud Squads from stealing the Mass Senate election? First we must understand the inner workings of the corrupt political machine in Massachusetts. Then we must strategize in order to combat election fraud.


Some of the most popular tools of corruption include:
  • SEIU (Service Employees International Union)
  • ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now)
  • Urban Polling Stations (these are the vulnerable and compromised areas most susceptible to voter fraud)
  • Voter Fraud
  • Push-polling (Democrats calling homes to misrepresent their opponent’s campaign)
  • Negative attack ads (A communist tactic of repeating lies until they are believed to be true).
  • Manipulation of ignorant voters (e.g. telling voters they must vote for Coakley if they are registered as democrat; or suggesting undecideds to vote for Coakley in Dem-only polling stations)
  • Absentee Ballot Fraud (If Town Halls are Democrat only and no Republicans are present, what would prevent employees from stealing and destroying absentee ballots?)
These tactics are by no means exhaustive. Democrats have historically believed they are above the law.


What, if anything, can be done to help curb corruption of our sacred election process?
  • Become a poll observer. Get a letter from Scott Brown’s campaign. Bring it to the poll and ask to be an observer. Read voter rolls. Make sure there are no obviously bogus names (i.e. Captain Kangaroo, Mickey Mouse, Elvis Presley, etc). Watch for the same person appearing two or more times.
  • Become a polling station warden or clerk. This is done through the Republican Town Committee. The law states there should be an equal number of Democrats and Republicans at every polling station. If there are no Republicans volunteering, then it becomes Democrat only. This would enable you to become involved in the actual ballot counting process.
  • Wanted: Conservatives (especially non-Caucasian) watchdogs at inner city and urban poll stations. This could potentially be the most important component of minimizing voter corruption, as the bulk of criminal activity occurs here. An example: Democrats bribing prostitutes and homeless people to vote with falsified identities.
  • The only way we can reform this process and clean the corruption is to get involved. Contact your local Republican Town Committee to volunteer your time on the day of the election.
  • Finally, by all means, don’t forget to pray.
"Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."
Matthew 17:21 KJV
"But the Lord is in his holy Temple; the Lord still rules from heaven. He watches everyone closely,examining every person on earth."
Psalm 11:4

Why Martha Coakley Must Be Rejected


by blog contributor Mark Swan

It’s high time for Massachusetts voters to awaken from their comas and do something rational. Namely to vote Republican Scott Brown into Ted Kennedy’s vacant Senate seat in the Jan 19 special election. Given that there are at least 3 Democrats to every Republican registered in MA, it would be a miracle for Brown to get elected. Even the large number of unenrolled voters are mostly former Dems who vote for incumbents every election like compliant puppies. MA voters are largely products of the public school system. Local MA media outlets are more like mind-control centers than journalistic watchdogs. A Scott Brown victory will be the equivalent of another shot heard round the world.

The following are just a few of the reasons why MA must reject Martha Coakley and elect Scott Brown:
  1. Several years ago, the MA state legislature violated the constitution and denied the people their opportunity to vote for or against gay marriage. A slap in the face to MA voters.
  2. Ted Kennedy’s last request was to flip-flop his own law, stripping the voters of the power to choose a new Senator to fill his vacant seat. That was a disgrace, but then again, that was the 46 year entrenched power-drunk wrecking ball called Teddy K.
  3. A most recent kick in the teeth to MA voters was Deval Patrick’s hand-picked interim Senator Paul Kirk’s ranting that he will attempt to block Scott Brown’s “no” vote on health care.
  4. Interim Senator Paul Kirk broke his oath to the Commonwealth to not endorse any candidate, yet endorsed Coakley anyway.
  5. Shall we not forget the Hit Parade of corrupt Democrat state politicians? The list below is certainly not exhaustive.
  • State Rep Diane Wilkerson stuffing her bra with bribe money, caught on video
  • City Councilor Chuck Turner arrested for accepting bribes
  • Disgraced House Speaker Sal DiMasi indicted on corruption charges
  • Cambridge State Senator Anthony Gallucio arrested for violating his probation related to repeated drunk driving charges, including a hit-and-run incident.
  • State Rep Michael Rodriquez spotted buying tax-free booze in NH, after voting to raise taxes on liquor in MA
  • MA House Speaker Tom Finneran was convicted of obstruction of justice
  • State Rep James Marzilli convicted of sexual assaults against his female constituents on various Lowell park benches.
  • Mayor Tom Menino’s email scandal, which was never pursued by Attorney General Coakley
Sex offenders, crooks, criminals, and cronies - all Democrats - are running our state into the ground. Massachusetts voters have had enough. Do we really want another corrupt MA Democrat? Martha Coakley’s inaction as Attorney General to prosecute any of her fellow Dems is an outrage at best. We must do everything to keep her, ACORN, & SEIU thugs from stealing this election.

Rubberstamper Coakley is the epitome of the same old politics as usual in Massachusetts. Scott Brown is the candidate for change. Who could argue that change is desperately needed in Massachusetts?
