Scott Brown and the Battle for Massachusetts
My friends, 2010 is our moment to Take Back the USA. All house seats and 34 Senate seats (including Specter in PA) are up in the November general election. But did you know we can take a huge step toward taking back the Senate in January?
Massachusetts is holding a special election on January 19th to fill the remainder of Ted Kennedy's term. No one is talking about it, but it looks like it may turn out to be the next NY 23 - an incredible, unpredictable race that went from a sleepy ignored special election to a huge national battleground. But the stakes are much higher in this race!
Now Massachusetts is the bluest of blue states, but little known (outside of MA) state Senator Scott Brown is mounting a strong and growing challenge to the Dem establishment candidate, Attorney General Martha Coakely.
I still need to do a lot more research, but everything I can see shows that Scott Brown is conservative, and he is the best hope for America to wrest control of the Senate from the liberal Nancy Pelosi Democrats. He has taken very strong position against the healthcare bill that passed the Senate in a sleazy Christmas Eve vote, vowing to be the "41st vote against" Obamacare.
I have often stated that 2010 is our moment - the watershed election where lovers of liberty, defenders of the Constitution, and general patriots must take our country back from radical statist Democrats. I wrote on November 5, 2008 that "We who love liberty must start today to rebuild' the conservative movement and retake our country.
The Tea Party and 9-12 Project has been that grass roots, ground up forces that will change our nation for the good. But being voices in the wilderness, powerless to stand up to the statists in the Obama administration and Congress is one thing. And the goal of our project must be to take back power through the democratic process. Through elections.
The protests, tea parties, and town hall meetings of 2009 were like the famous Boston Tea Party of 1774. And just as the British Parliament ignored the will of the Colonists, as all tyrants do, the current Congress responded with its own series of Intolerable Acts - the Stimulus, the Omnibus Bill, Cap and Tax, and now Obamacare, passing on Christmas Eve. All liberty stealing, budget busting acts defying the will of the people.
Well my friends, we stand on the brink of the first battle in the war for 2010 - our generation's war for freedom and liberty. And just as the War of Independence began in Massachusetts, our war of 2010 will begin in that same Bay State.
Like the Minutemen of Lexington and Concord, we must rally our ragged forces to face a much stronger, well funded, Democrat state machine. But we can win. All polls show that the enthusiasm is on our side! After all, the Tea Party out polled both the Democrat and Republican parties in the recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.
So rally the troops. Support Scott Brown anyway you can. His website is: http://www.brownforussenate.com/ I would encourage you to get involved. Donate time or money. Do whatever you can. Our future is at stake!
Massachusetts is the bluest of blue states. It is a long shot at best to imagine Sen. Brown can become US Senator Scott Brown. But the American Revolution was a long shot. If we fritter and "keep our powder dry" for the November elections, it may well be too late. We need Sen. Brown as the 41st vote against Obamacare.
And there is one thing I know for sure. Americans are fighters. We have enough fight in us for this special election, and to keep fighting for conservative candidates in the primaries all spring and summer and then, to take back our country in the general elections in November.
But don't stay on the sidelines. Just like we depended on the minutemen at Lexington and Concord, we need the Tea Party Patriots to fight the battle of Massachusetts right now!
