A Night to Shine for Charlie Baker

Charlie Baker came to Plymouth last night and was well-received by a large crowd of supporters, lead by host, Vinny deMacedo. Also in attendance was Charlie's running mate, Richard Tisei, Congressional candidate, Jeff Perry, incumbent Plymouth County Sherrif, Joe McDonald and a host of elected officials representing local government. It's been a while since we have heard Charlie in person, and we all came away with the recognition that Charlie is hitting his stride as a speaker. he has, of course, always had a well-reasoned platform supporting his candidacy, but now we are hearing the emotion and conviction, which underlines the rhetoric. It was exciting to hear him and he brought the crowd to its feet several times. And while there were no reports of leg tingles, ala Chris Matthews, Baker's message came across loud and clear.

Three main points have consistently been the main support for Charlie's strategies: Spending, taxes and jobs, as well a clear recognition that our government has lost sight of the equity due to those who pay the bills, the taxpayers. Another Baker axiom is "time is not our friend", when it comes to solving the state's problems, and a tight focus on each issue in turn is more effective than a sense of universal concern.

What voters are now understanding is that in order for state government to be effective, it must first put its fiscal house in order and create a business climate that will support the growth of jobs and opportunity. To make this happen, we need leaders with a clear sense of priorities as well as the experience and skills to craft a lasting recovery. The incumbent governor, Baker pointed out, has over forty union endorsements. The very thing that has hindered his efforts over the past four years, has been his need to satisfy his debt to these groups, at the expense of developing long range solutions. Let there be no doubt, Charlie baker and his team know how to turn this around.

While it is tempting to crow about a Republican re-emergence, it is more interesting to note that support for these ideas is coming from all across the political spectrum. Republicans, conservatives, Libertarians, Independents and even many Democrats are realizing that the tax and spend strategies are digging us a hole that future generations will have to deal with.

The election is five weeks from today. Get involved, get active and let's make it happen on November 2nd.

Tuesday's Primary Election

The polls, in Plymouth, will be open from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Tuesday, 9/14/2010.

As you go to the polls, keep the following in mind:

Un-enrolled voters (those not registered for a particular political party) can request a Republican (or some other party) ballot in order to vote in the primary.
You will have to re-register, after the vote, to go back to un-enrolled status.

Many of the party candidates are running unopposed in the primary. They would still appreciate your vote. Show Charlie Baker (Governor) and Karyn Polito (Treasurer)some love.

Of course there are a few key races that are being hotly contested, including:

Jeff Perry, running for U.S. Congress

Mary Z. Connaughton, running for State Auditor

While there is no Republican candidate on the ballot for Massachusetts Attorney General, two candidates are running write-in campaigns in an effort to get on the November ballot to challenge incumbent Martha Coakley. The two write-in candidates are Jim McKenna - Millbury, and Guy Carbone - Belmont. Remember to write the name AND home town, and to fill in the oval on the ballot.

Vote for Jeff Perry, Tuesday, September 14, 2010

This primary election, especially for voters in the Massachusetts 10th Congressional District may well be one of the most important elections of current times. Hyperbole? Not a bit. anyone with a modicum of sense and who has witnessed the results of one party rule in Washington DC for the past eighteen months should realize that it is crucial that we right the ship of state by bringing balance back to the U.S. Congress. Here in the 10th, our choice is clear. Jeff Perry has laid out his conservative credentials and his plans for stopping our country's slide into a socialistic morass.

In more ordinary times, this battle would be fought in November, but in this election, the primary election may well be the telling event. Jeff Perry is faced with an opponent who is committed to destructive campaign techniques in an attempt to discredit Perry. With the help of the lefty media, He has resurrected decade-old events and accusations that have been thoroughly investigated and resolved years ago and which resulted in Perry being fully cleared of any wrongdoing.

So it comes down to the September 14th primary. Voters will have the choice of voting for Jeff Perry, a true conservative with a public record of accomplishments and fresh new ideas for putting America back on track. Check out Jeff's WEBSITE for more detailed information. Or, his opponent, who seems to have focused most of his efforts on slinging mud at Perry. Perhaps not a bad idea for him. If he can succeed in focusing attention on these questionable charges, then perhaps voters might not notice the opponents total lack of favorable accomplishments or any ideas he might have to solve our country's problems.

Voters of the Mass. 10th. Go to the polls on Tuesday, September 14th and help Jeff Perry take a big first step towards the U.S. Congress.
