2010 Election: the Massachusetts special election for U.S. Senator
I received the following e-mail Thursday morning. It is time sensitive so I’m posting it tonight. For the life of me, I don’t recognize the group. I’m going to have to check out its website. I believe its website is http://www.mnmajority.org/
“Over the past 12 months, we have witnessed an unprecedented assault on our personal liberties. This assault has not come from some foreign power, but from our own tyrannical government.
On Tuesday, January 19, a special election will be held in the state of Massachusetts to choose a new U.S. Senator to replace Ted Kennedy. The results of this election could well decide our nation’s future.
Until now, Democrats have had filibuster-proof majorities in both the House and Senate, thus allowing them to ram through their socialist agenda, in spite of what the American people want. But the election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts could give Republicans the critical 41st vote needed to stop the Democratic supermajority in the Senate.
Brown opposes the government takeover of our health care system. He opposes giving terrorists’ constitutional rights and cap-and-trade legislation. Brown’s election would not only derail the terrible health ‘reform’ bill, but much of the rest of Obama’s agenda.
Up until this week, Brown’s election was not even considered to be a remote possibility. The seat has been in Democrat hands for nearly 60 years. But recent polls show that Brown has closed the gap and appears to now be in a statistical tie with his opponent.
I urge you to watch an inspiring 90-second video and then decide what you can do to make a difference in this critical election:

The following was sent to me by e-mail on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 by U.S. Senator Dick Durbin from Illinois. Senator Durbin is the Majority Whip for the Democrats in the Senate.
How did I get on Dick Durbin’s mailing list? Seems they put any old right-winger, 9/12er on it they can! The Democrats must really be panicking if there is a chance that a Republican can win the Senate seat in the bluest of blue States. This should send a scare into Democrats in both the House and the Senate. Could it be that even people in the bluest of blue States don’t like what is going on in Congress?
“Dear Donald,
The final health care reform vote is just a few weeks away. But next Tuesday, Massachusetts is holding a special election to fill the open seat left by the passing of my friend and colleague, Senator Ted Kennedy—and the results will be pivotal in determining whether we pass health care reform this year.
If Ted Kennedy was still with us in the Senate, I’m certain he’d proudly vote ‘aye’ to pass the most progressive step (government nationalization of 1/6th of the American economy—my addition) towards universal coverage in four decades. And the Democrat running to fill his seat, Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, has pledged she’d do the same.
But Martha is running neck-and-neck against a Republican, state senator Scott Brown, who would betray Ted Kennedy’s proud legacy of fighting for the uninsured.
We need Martha Coakley’s vote in the Senate to pass real health care reform (What!?! What bill is that???—my addition) this year—and to do that, we need to act now to make sure she has the resources she needs to hold on to Ted Kennedy’s seat in the Senate.”
“Attorney General Martha Coakley has dedicated the last 20 years of her life to public service. She’s a self-described ‘progressive’ when it comes to health care, and has spent much of her career challenging the Wall Street firms that brought on the financial crisis (The government more than any other entity brought on the financial crisis and that same government bailed them out claiming they were too big to fail which was and is ridiculous. No entity is too big to fail including the federal government!—my addition).”
“If elected, Martha Coakley will continue Ted Kennedy’s proud, progressive legacy in the U.S. Senate—on issues ranging from health care reform to financial regulation.
But a recent poll shows Martha trailing her Republican opponent by a point (Why is that? Do the Democrats have a clue?—my addition)—within the poll’s margin of error. That spurred a one-day $1.3 million online fundraising haul for her opponent yesterday, fueled by national Republicans and special interests (you, me and most other people in the United States—my addition) who’d like nothing more than to replace Ted Kennedy with a tried and true right-winger (anyone other than another “progressive”—my addition). [Did you notice that even Democrats won’t use the word liberal to describe one of their own? Why is that?—my addition.]
We need to help Martha fight back, right now, in these last few days before the special election.”
“Republicans only need to pick up one more vote in the Senate to derail health care reform (Amen!!! Pray that it happens!!! And help too if you can—financially or otherwise!—my addition). And there’s no doubt Scott Brown would cast that fatal vote of opposition, recently boasting ‘as the 41st senator I can stop a lot of this stuff in its tracks.’
Sincerely,
Dick DurbinU.S. Senator”
