Vote for Freedom Tomorrow
I just want to add my voice, one last time, to those urging you to go to the polls tomorrow, Tuesday, January 19, and vote for Scott Brown, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate.
You all know the importance of this election. During the past year, the Federal Government has threatened our freedom with attempts to take control of banking, of the automobile industry, of medicine. The Republicans in the U.S. Senate need one more vote to shut down the takeover, starting with Obamacare. We in Massachusetts have the opportunity to give them that vote by electing Scott Brown. Barney Frank got it right when he said “If Scott Brown wins, it’ll kill the health bill.”
This was supposed to be a safe seat for the Democrats. Massachusetts is, in John Keller’s phrase, the bluest state. According to the Gallup poll, the percentage of Bay State residents who are “Democrat” or “Lean Democrat” is higher than any other state in the Union. The voters sent the country’s most famous liberal, Ted Kennedy, to the Senate nine times. Shortly after the December 8 primary, Democrat Massachusetts Congressman Mike Capuano said, “There is no way in hell we’re going to elect a Republican to Ted Kennedy’s seat.” Over the Christmas holiday, while we were wringing our hands about the lack of national attention to this race, the Democrat candidate Martha Coakley, confident of victory, took a six-day vacation.
That was three weeks ago. It’s hard to believe how much has changed in that short time. Today, on the eve of the election, it looks like there’s a way in hell after all. Because, as Scott told us, “It’s not Ted Kennedy’s seat, it’s not the Democrats’ seat, it’s the people’s seat.” And we the people want something better.
No doubt you’ve seen the Massachusetts Miracle video, comparing this race to the Battles of Concord and Lexington. In 2010, like in 1775, Massachusetts patriots stood up for their liberty. In 2010, like in 1775, the world is watching what is happening here. In 1775 Massachusetts fired the “shot heard round the world”. In 2010, excited supporters at Brown for U.S. Senate rallies are talking about the “Scott heard round the world”.
Once again Massachusetts is leading the way in the fight for freedom. The Democrats in Congress have got to be getting nervous. If it is this difficult for them to hold on to one safe Senate seat, they must be wondering what is going to happen in November when 36 Senators and 435 Representatives are up for election. I expect we will see a very chastened Democrat party when Congress reconvenes this month. Our enthusiastic support for Scott Brown even made Obama take time out from his busy schedule of expropriating banks and hospitals in order to travel to the Bay State and pull Martha’s butt out of the fire. Win or lose tomorrow, we already changed Washington.
But let’s win tomorrow. Scott may be leading in the public opinion surveys, but they’re still very close. If you haven’t already submitted an absentee ballot, please go to the voting booth and pull the lever or fill in the circle for Scott Brown. And please, remind your friends and neighbors to do the same.
P.S. It seems I’m the proud owner of a moderately cool domain name, www.nexusofpower.com. Any suggestions on what to do with it after the election is over?
