I thught I would post this press release I received from the Mass Republican Party just in case any of those Elizabeth Warren supporters would like to see who their girls friends are.

Town Meeting: Final Thoughts

Can we stand one more post about the Sturbridge Town Meeting? it will be the last, I promise, maybe.

We Are Not Alone

While some will never admit it, we really are all in this fight together. Whether you want to call yourself a member of the tea party movement or not, we really are all on the same side.

The Sky is Falling Let's Go Tell The King

It’s been a month since the tornado hit our area causing three deaths and a tremendous amount of damage. I had a brief conversation regarding what has been done and what is not being done by various agencies, specifically in the town of Southbridge. We had two different opinions; you’ll be able to guess which one was mine.

One Tea Partiers Opinion

I have written both here and elsewhere about what my opinion on exactly what the Tea Party is about and what I believe it stands for. I have also written how I feel the “Tea Party” name has been co-opted by others to forward their own agendas. Those of us who truly believe in what the tea party movement stands for, might be considered by some as eccentric or nut cases, we like to consider ourselves as passionate. We believe in the principles that this country was founded on and we believe the country has strayed from these principles.

Even though we are constantly called names and bombarded with negative press, mostly by people who have no idea what we are about, we continue to go on. 

Doing It Right The First Time

The last post I wrote talked about the latest election related issue in Southbridge, that of the wrong information being printed on the absentee ballots. A local Southbridge blogger posted an update on the situation.

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.

It's A New World Out There

Well, it's finally over and Peter Durant has officially won. I know, he hasn't been sworn in yet, and this is Massachusetts but it looks good. First I want to congratulate Peter on his win, he worked hard and through it all he kept smiling and stayed positive. Now let's hope he goes to Beacon Hill and makes a difference.

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.

Sixth Worcester Non-endorsement

I know I haven't been to active lately with either the Sturbridge or the Knox Trail groups, and I do want to apologize for that. I have a whole tea pot full of personal things going on here which need to be dealt with, but I am still as passionate about the movement as ever. So with that being said...
