Trust Us We're With The Government

Here are some mostly random thought from my Tea Party perspective on what has been going on lately and where we go from here.

Hypocrisy At it's Finest

I realize that the Democratic Party is full of the most tolerant and inclusive people know to man, so I may be the only one who this interesting. It seems those who are most against voters having to show any identification when they go to vote insist that anyone attending the convention in Charlotte has to have a valid government issued ID.

Southbridge Election Officials Need to Pay Attention

It seems tour friend the Town Clerk in Southbridge may have had another "oops" moment when she sent out the absentee ballots to our military personnel and others and wrote "Do Not Vote For More Than Two" for School Committee, when she really meant three. This brings up some interesting questions, especially if the school committee race is close.

April 20th Meeting

We held our monthly meeting last night at our new venue, Art's Variety on South Street in Southbridge. Both Jane and I want to thank the Gaudreaus for volunteering the use of their business, it was a great venue for us. So if you are anywhere near there stop in and buy something damn it!

As far as the meeting went, we had a good meeting. Peter Durant came in and briefed us on how his campaign is going, and no, we do not support candidates. Also Mike Jaynes the leader of the Republican Town Committee in Southbridge was there (okay, I think he is the chairmen) and he is looking for people to help at the polls in Southbridge on May 10. These positions are poll workers as opposed to poll watchers. You will help out with the checking and counting and all that good stuff. And you will get paid besides.

You do not have to live in the district or Southbridge, but you do have to be a registered Republican. Please email mike at mikejaynes@charter.net if you can do it, you will need to be there all day. Did I mention you will be paid? I wonder...is this an SEIU position?

We also discussed the infamous billboard, and another Mike, (whose last name escapes me since I am terrible at names) had a rather nice list of all the Hispanic residents which are NOT near the billboard. Keep your eyes on the Southbridge News as your truly has another letter about the billboard on the way.

Voter Identification Issue

As any of you who live in the Sturbridge, Sixth Worcester area know, the recent special primary and the evil Billboard erected by EmpowerMA and ShowIDtoVote has really caused quite a stir. The Telegram and the Southbridge Town Clerk and Town Manager are all claiming voters are being intimidated by this billboard. And of course the race card has been played.

The Evil Billboard

Only the Guilty Get Nervous

Only the guilty get nervous. This was something I learned back when I was a Regional Security Manager for a large company. In the course of talking to less than desirable characters I learned that when someone got nervous when they saw me coming there was usually a good reason. So reading the Sunday Worcester Telegram yesterday, I have to wonder what the Southbridge Town Clerk and the Southbridge Town Manager are so afraid of. You see it seems that two groups with ties to those evil, racist Tea Party groups want to be at the polls in Southbridge and ask voters to voluntarily show their ID's to poll workers.
