1-18- Scott is amazing. We must be sure to get out the vote tomorrow. DO NOT BE COMPLACENT with polls! Bring your neighbors to the polls, check with family members. Sign up for the Voter Bomb.
The opposition will pull out all the stops. We MUST turn out TUESDAY! Email, Tweet, even old fashioned phone calls!! Check with EVERYONE you know. Explain to them WHY Scott is so important to the future of the USA! The energy is unlike anything EVER in MA.....since maybe Paul Revere visited the same towns Scott has been in during the campaign! Both Great Patriots! WE THE PEOPLE must prevail!
1-14-10 Absentee Ballots for the Special Election must be obtained by 5p.m.EST on Jan 15,2010 (Friday) if you have ANY problem getting one, call the Secretary Stae in Mass., Williaam Galvin:1-800-463-VOTE (8683)
1-14=10 Friday is the last day it is possible to get an absentee ballot (Weekend then MLK day on Monday) If you are concerned about getting to the polls Tuesday, PLEASE get an absentee balloot from Town.City Hall to complete. This advice comes in the form of a commercial from the Secretary of Star of the Commonwealth. it is perfectly acceptable.
1-14-10 Scott is getting great coverage nayionally. PLEASE be sure that this does not become complacency. EVERYONE voting for Scott, get to the polls on Tuesday!Offer to drive a neighbor and be sure on the ride there they understand all the great American peincipes he stands for.
1-14-10 Scott has been on many radio talk shows today answering questions unfiltered from hosts and callers. He is clearly comfortable and dedicated to his principles.
1-13-10 I have tried to stick to Scott's wish that our campaigning stay positive throughout the campaign. I agree with him and want to adhere to that philosophy but believe the following is simply fact being shares especially since it was discussed in an afternoon talk show in which Brown participated (not raised by him.) Not only did one of Martha Coakley's "handlers" knock a reporterfrom the Weekly Standard down last night after asking about her comment that there was no AlQaeda in Afghanistan, she was being assisted in MA by union leaders, SEIU, Move On AND the Obama staff. Three negative ads have appeared about Scott on TV in the last 48 hours AND though ill Clinton is scheduled to be here for a rally Friday and even DEmocrats are asking that he consider going to Haiti as a goodwill ambassador to help rather than campaign.Martha is no where to be seen. Scott has asked EVERYONE to go to
www.brownforussenate.com to help him combat this misinformation.
1-13-10SR.Ma Sen Kerry expresses "concern" that GOP and Brown supporters talk of bringing a Tea Party" to "Kennedy Country" please email him or call(especially MA constituents )during office hrs to "explain to him that this is Ma, not "Kennedy Country" and that he should be proud that a tea party would brr=e held here, the site of the original one!
Many volunteers from other states traeling to MA to help for final weekend...if you see them on a "brigade,: please thank and welcome them
1-13=10 Scott's daughters express concern over Coakley's distortion of his position on women's issues andher use of negative ads..say discouraging women from entering politics.
1-12-10 Great You Tube piece... Scott tellling D Gergen that the seat is not Kennedy's, belongs to people. Send to everyone...over 200000 hits so far. help make viral all overUS...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJEEQHOnI2Q1-11-10 Shttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJEEQHOnI2Qcott appeared on a national talk show on Fox News Channel, On the Record with Greta Van Susteren Monday evening.. He was his usual clear, commonsense,impressive, self;friendly but serious, simple in explanation, exhibiting his sense of humor and graciousness toward his opponent (who was invited to the show but declined the appearance.) Scott is quickly becoming a national media star and always the thoughtful, knowledgeable gentleman....just what we need in the Senate. Lets work REALLY hard this last week of the campaign to send him there. He will be great not only for the Commonwealth, but thr entire nation!
1-12-10 Money Bomb exceeded expectations$1,117,747.46 Wow!
1-11-10 many citizens nationwide askig about coming to MA to help us the last few days of Scott's campaign. Arrangemets made today by grous from New York and VA. Nicee we don't have Martha's problem (see home page of site discussion) Union members were paid to hold signs outside of the debate. Beholden to anyone, MArtha?
1-11=10 fial minutes for moneybomb:
http://brownforussenate.com/red-invades-blue.com1-11=10 Scott was endorsed by MA State Police.
.I was one of the many Brigadiers at the pre-debate rally at UMass and when I got there, I was pretty overwhelmed at the trailer truck of Martha signs and hundreds of union members holding them. While speaking with one of the union guys holding the Coakley sign, he admitted that his union was paying him $50 to stand and hold the sign. I was blown away, I always thought that these guys were out in the cold like us, doing what we thought was the right thing to do, not that they were actually being paid a fee to do it.
The best part was when he admitted that although he was there because he needed the money, he was voting for Scott!!
We are making history here in Massachusetts once again, keep up the great work everyone. We are all working hard to make Scott our next US Senator because we need him to go to Washington and fight for us! Get ready for the vote heard around the world. Tags:

I am emailing about a matter of importance to all Americans.. I know there are others in my group of about 80,000 people who have done so as well. Special Election in MA to fill seat vacated by Kennedy takes place January 19th. We have a great GOP candidate, Scott Brown who is within striking distance. Though we have support for him, publicity, phone banks and $$ donations coming from all over the nation, we have had little response from programs like yours to have him on as a guest.
This is the candidate who, if victorious will be the 41st Senator able to block Obama care and delay or dilute the rest of his radical agenda. I have lived in MA all my life and NEVER seen enthusiasm like this for a GOP candidate. PLEASE HELP US! Invite Scott onto your programs.
We are two weeks away from blocking Obama care.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT! Wouldn’t you LOVE to be part of the effort to fill the seat held by Kennedy with a GOP who is against the Obamacare and believes in the traditional role of American government???
WE hope you can help us!

Scott Brown for United States Senat
The Republican candidate for US Senate in the Special Election being held in Massachusetts on Tuesday, January 19, 2010 is current state senator, Scott Brown of Wrentham .
Scott’s qualifications for this national position are exemplary. He has served in the National Guard for thirty years, as a JAG and presently represents the interests of his constituents as one of the few Republican Senators on Beacon Hill.
With a simple and solid philosophy, Scott is a free enterprise advocate who believes in limited government and the unbridled potential of the private sector. During this time of economic uncertainty, he strongly supports limiting and lowering taxes so people have more of what they earn to spend as necessary. Economies are most productive when individuals have more of their earnings to spend and businesses have earnings to invest and create jobs .He believes future generations of Americans deserve a financially strong and independent society unburdened by an enormous national debt that will be impossible to repay.
A prevalent issue in today’s news, healthcare is something Scott thinks should be between patients and physicians. Supplemental government assistance like that in Massachusetts can be helpful for some but costs must be contained and government must be absent from decisions about care.
Scott has long advocated common sense environmental policy and believes in domestic alternative sources to eliminate dependence on foreign supplies. The national cap and trade program is one he has long opposed due to the harm it would cause families and businesses.
Accountability and high standards are paramount in education. Scott’s position on amnesty is that immigration should be acceptable only when approached legally as we are a nation of laws.
He strongly supports benefits for veterans, the right to gun ownership and a continued emphasis on private sector health care. Other vital priorities are a strong national defense and safe homeland, a two party system of government and a Congress devoted to the welfare of constituents rather than special interests.
The Senator is a recipient of a Public Service Award for leadership reforming state sex offender laws and the rights of victims. He has also been recognized for his efforts toward job growth and expansion in the state.
When in Washington, Brown vows to represent the people of the Commonwealth with honor and respect as he brings traditional American values, professionalism, fiscal responsibility and integrity to Capitol Hill. Please consider voting for Scott Brown, Republican for US Senate.ong and well equipped defense.

12/31 Brown attended Grand Opening of Regional Campaign Headquarters in Plymouth. The event was upbeat and enthusiastic.Brown was gracious and mingled and chatted with the many supporters who had arrived to see him. The offices overflowed with supporters and the parking area which is ample, was full, Many who arrived to see Brown had to park in adjacent lots. Lawn signs, bumper stickers and handouts are available at the office which is also a phone bank. The office is located at 74 Long Pond Road. If you live in the area, plan to stop by and volunteer for a shift to cover phone banks.
Brown files legislation in Massachusetts supporting a tax holiday for citizens and businesses. He recommends this take place over the Presidents Day weekend, a traditionally busy time in the retail industry.

Sample letter to use to write to radio.tv stations requesting Scott as a guest. Don't be shy...send them all over the country. Listeners volunteer and donate cash or help with calling:
Hello _____,,
I am anxious for you to have Scott Brown, GOP candidate for the special election as a guest on your show. As I;m sure you know, the election for th open Us Senate seat is two weeks from today, January 19th.Scott does not have the large financial bankers that Martha Coakley has; Lawyers Group.DNC, SEIU and Emily’s list behind him. We have been conducting a true grassroots movement to support him, We are getting the word out, sending letters, emailing and texting. We try to remain on the same page to touch base with as many people as possible without duplicating efforts. The story has become a national one. People from all the states are helping by supporting anything we need. I suppose you could call these people the “Best and Brightest” as they are acutely aware of the importance of this election and that Scott, as the 41st Senator would be very powerful. He could end with a vote so much of the Obama radical agenda and more immediately, the Obama care.
Scott is a thirty year veteran of the National Guard, Jag and current state senator. He would bring traditional values, fiscal responsibility and integrity to Washington. While doing calling,, the response has been very positive…people are thrilled to speak to a person and not a robo-call.
With only two weeks to go we are trying to get him on as much media as possible so people can judge for themselves about him. So far, whenever we have done this people are presently surprised and leave events saying they had made their decision and are voting for him.
Please consider having him on your program. It is a wonderful way to introduce him to your large audience of listeners. I am confident you will not be disappointed! Right now, Scott appears to be our best bet to take back our magnificent country as it was meant to be by the Founding Fathers.
Scott’s website is:

Happy New Year!

Here is an email from the Mass GOP that is very telling about the attitude of voters toward the special election. The sense of "entitlement" continues with the Democrats...although having lived here all my life, I have NEVER heard so many people openly admit they have never cast a vote for anyone who doesn't have a "D" next to their name, but this time they are voting for Brown. May God help us that this is true. Even though Ms. Entitled Complacent Coakley went on vacation while Brown trudged through the snow campaigning through two New England blizzards, she has now decided to mount a TV ad campaign about her "commitment to families and children."Google" Coakley and cases as Asst, DA and see how her "commitment" was to her own political aspirations.
We can not rest now or take ANYTHING for granted. Though this may energize the Dems, it should also energize the GOP nationally!
The vote to stop the Obama agenda may very well come from Massachusetts!
Release from Mass GOP:
In Case You Missed It!
Democrats Not Excited About Coakley
The Sun Chronicle today reports, "Democrats are not excited about supporting Coakley," and quotes Democrat activists saying the Coakley campaign is taking victory for granted against the surging Republican State Senator Scott Brown in the Jan. 19 special U.S. Senate election.
"One local Democratic activist who asked not to be named said there is a great deal of frustration with Coakley's inactivity.
The activist wants to rev up the local effort for Coakley, but the campaign keeps saying there is nothing to worry about because Coakley is going to win.
"'This is the worst campaign I've ever seen in my life. I don't get it. I just don't get it,' the activist said." (The Sun Chronicle, January 7, 2010. Emphasis added.)
January 7, 2010
HEADLINE: Sluggish Coakley effort irks Dems
BYLINE: Jim Hand, Sun Chronicle Staff
Dennis Naughton was standing out in the cold at 7:15 Wednesday morning waving to passing motorists in Foxboro and holding a sign for U.S. Senate candidate Martha Coakley.
So when he hears reports that Democrats are not excited about supporting Coakley, he wonders who they are talking about.
"I think people are pretty motivated," he said of his party's faithful.
But, a poll out Tuesday and interviews with local Democrats tell another story.
The Democrats said Coakley has been too passive, and a Rasmussen poll found that state Sen. Scott Brown, R-Wrentham, had closed Coakley's once commanding lead to a mere 9 points.
"I'm not happy with the level of campaign effort I've seen," state Rep. Bill Bowles, D-Attleboro, said of Coakley. "I think the campaign needs to step it up a notch."
Furthermore, the Rasmussen poll said Republicans supporting Brown were much more motivated to vote in a special election Jan. 19 than Democrats because of their dislike of health care reform.
"Special elections are typically decided by who shows up to vote, and it is clear from the data that Brown's supporters are more enthusiastic," the poll said.
"In fact, among those who are absolutely certain they will vote, Brown pulls to within two points of Coakley. That suggests a very low turnout will help the Republican and a higher turnout is better for the Democrat."
Coakley supporters have expressed fears that her sleepy campaign style and aversion to confronting Brown will drag down Democratic turnout in the election to fill the seat once held by the late Edward Kennedy.
One local Democratic activist who asked not to be named said there is a great deal of frustration with Coakley's inactivity.
The activist wants to rev up the local effort for Coakley, but the campaign keeps saying there is nothing to worry about because Coakley is going to win.
"This is the worst campaign I've ever seen in my life. I don't get it. I just don't get it," the activist said.
Naughton, a member of the Democratic State Committee, said if there truly was a lack of motivation among his party, the poll might be just the shot in the arm Coakley's backers need.
Nothing gets Democrats worked up like the prospect of another Republican going to Washington to obstruct work on important problems, he said.
"Actually, I was glad to see that poll. I think it will motivate people. Some people were worried voters would stay home" because they thought Coakley will win easily, he said.
Naughton said he intends to cite the poll in the telephone calls he makes for Coakley's campaign.
The poll is also a boon to Brown. National Republican groups have been slow to come to his aid, not wanting to spend money on a race if the GOP is unlikely to win.
Now Brown has an independent poll on his side to show the race could be winnable.
Even before the evidence was in, Brown had repeatedly said his campaign was surging because it had energy on its side.
He contrasts his frenetic campaign pace with what he calls Coakley's "bunker mentality" a reference to her rare public appearances. Tags:
