I DIDNT grow up with all the advantages in life. My mom was on welfare for a time, but I had the support of a loving family and good friends and neighbors. I dont have all the advantages in this race either, and thats fine by me.
Being the underdog has taught me to work harder, and to appreciate the opportunities of our state and our country.
Im running because more of our people are unemployed today than ever before. Public debt has reached $12 trillion and counting, and Washington politicians want to borrow trillions more. Terrorists want to strike our country again, and they will do so if we let down our guard. We have fighting forces in two theaters of war, and those men and women need our support. [snip]
Like everyone else, I want to see more Americans with good health care coverage... But the healthcare bill under discussion in Washington is not good. It will raise taxes and increase spending. If you are a senior on Medicare, it will lead to a half trillion dollars in cuts to your care.
[snip]
My opponent, Martha Coakley, will vote yes on this bill. I will insist we start over. Failure should be admitted in Washington, and not repeated. With last months news that we lost another 85,000 jobs, and with unemployment stuck in the double digits, its time to admit that while the $787 billion stimulus had the best of intentions, it failed to create one new job. We shouldnt pass yet another stimulus that adds to the debt without adding jobs.
My plan for the economy is simple: an across-the-board tax cut - in the tradition of John F. Kennedy ...

Great video.
Tea Parties and the 9/12 protest were just a warmup. This is the opportunity that we have been waiting for. We might not have time until November with the way the Dems are ramming through their health care scheme. This is MUST WIN.

Sarah Palin had supportive words for Scott Brown tonight on FOX.
The only way Coakley wins is ACORN & SEIU and their usual
dirty work and I don’t think Scott would let that stand.

Just want to share this video and hope folks who have not made a donation to Scott Brown will do so. I certainly understand many folks can't donate, but I hope everyone remembers that even donations of $10 or $20 are greatly appreciated. Scott is getting next to nothing from the GOP from what I have heard. Think he is just too conservative for the RINO elites! Jean St.Pete,FL
MASSACHUSETTS MIRACLE:

AND WE CAN HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN!
WE CAN SEND SCOTT BROWN TO THE US SENATE AND PUT A STOP TO THE HEALTH CARE FIASCO BILL!
Remember, even a small donations of $10 or $20 is a great help! Lets make it happen and send Scott Brown to the Senate!

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please blast your ping lists with this link. If there was any doubt in anyones mind that Martha Coakley and the Democratic overlords in Massachusetts are nothing more than human waste receptacles, this will erase any doubt.
Its an interview with Gerald Tookie Amirault of the Fells Acres Daycare tragedy. Coakley destroyed this man and his family. The interview took place this morning, January 14, 2010.

Scott’s statement is so simply and clearly written, and invokes the tradition of John F. Kennedy. Perfect. I hope a Scott tsunami is on the horizon.

I admire Scott Brown! He is one good looking Republican man TOO.
To: television is just wrong
Brown is a very popular person here in Massachusetts. People just like him. Martha? No...not so much.
I've heard any number of Dems I know say they are voting for Brown simply because they do not like Martha.
On the way home from work today I saw a man holding a home made sign for Brown. It was a painted wooden sign cut out in the shape of two thumbs up. Browns name was in the center. He was standing near a very busy section of downtown Boston. I asked how things were going and he said the vast majority of folks gave him a friendly smile or thumbs up.
I'm praying Brown and Massachusetts can get this done. The energy this will inject into Conservatives across this country in their own state fights will be amazing. The very idea that a Republican could take “ Kennedy's Seat “ is mind blowing.
