Candidates

 This is not Chicago style politics - so please vote only once.

I would appreciate it if people could point out the Liberty and Non-Liberty positions of each of the candidates in comments.

Also - Should you find a candidate you like, I encourage members to become active in obtaining signatures to get on the ballot.

You know what, I voted for none of the above but then I saw that it said Joe Kennedy was an independant libertarian. So, I googled that. That guy is perfect. Scott Brown's website gives the impression that he's just another neocon who knows little of the economy. That guy doesn't mention the bailouts, the Federal Reserve, and only the stimulus Obama had passed. He talks about protecting America's "interests" and this can only lead me to believe he's merely another interventionist Republican who would blow money overseas. The only thing I disagree with Kennedy about is his claim that he is an Envrionmentalist and supports green initiatives - although he doesn't want to use statism to enforce it. The fact that he takes the liberty route on his beliefs causes me to overlook my disagreement, because in the end we will essentially agree on legislation regarding Environmentalism. Sure, the guy is a longshot, but so was Ron Paul. We have to go where the liberty is - besides, I really can't get enthusiastic about supporting any other candidate. Joe is the kind of guy I'd campaign for.

Libertarian State Party this Sat in Worcester on the calendar. Hope to see anyone interested in Liberty there - a chance to meet Joe Kennedy!

This has to be some kind of joke - a Kennedy who is not a Democrat?!?! This has to be some sort of trick just to get elected so he can switch positions once in office.

Posted 11/01/09 matthewpaul Raynham, MA

Joe isn't related to the Kennedy political family. He wants to get rid of the Fed, so he's got my vote.

Location changed - more members suggested Senator John Kerry's office as more convenient.

Rally Location: Senator John Kerry's Boston Office, 1 Bowdoin Square, Boston, MA 02114
Rally Time 4:00PM

On September 15th, the Campaign for Liberty will be NATIONALLY promoting the Audit the Fed bill (co-sponsored by a majority of Congress currently).  Across the country, citizens will deliver stacks of petitions to Federal Representatives.

In conjunction with the National C4L movement, Massachusetts Campaign for Liberty will be delivering petitions, signed by residents of Massachusetts regarding support for HR1207/S604 to Senator John Kerry

I need your help - I need every Massachusetts member to download and print out 50 Audit the Fed petitions, and have your friends/neighbors sign them.  Then, please bring them with you to the rally on 9/15, or sent to my home.  I want to get at least 1000 signatures.  If anyone wants to go door to door, or needs help collecting signatures, I'll be glad to assist.  EVERYONE must have at least 10-20 friends/family/co-workers/classmates that can sign easily.

The big bankers that control the money supply are on the ropes.  It's time for a knockout punch.  Please help with signature gathering, and attending the rally.

 http://www.masslpa.org/sites/default/files/hr1207a.pdf

The Audit the Fed bill is THE most important bill, as the supply of money controls the making of laws.  PLEASE help with this task!

PS - The rally will be from 3:30-4:30 at Senator John Kerry's office in Boston

C4l'ers,

Some great news in the last 24 hours

1) Rep McGovern is supposedly to co-sponser HR1207

2) State Legislature has offered a resolution to support 10th Ammendment

http://www.redmassgroup.com/diary/4491/perry-offers-resolution-before-house-prot
ecting-10th-amendment

3) Word is getting out about the bad Massachusetts forced Vaccination bill, and it will likely die.

Next - Let's target another Congressman for HR1207 - Any ideas who to target?  Someone who is looking for higher office, or vulnerable in their district.  Any ideas???  Please vote!

Looking to create a meeting August 1st or July 25th in Worcester, a Sat from 3-7.  Fun, friendly time to get together, discuss C4L, and determine our resources, talents, and how to promote Liberty in Massachusetts.  Office space will definately be set up by then!

Brad

PS Tom Woods - June 4th - Going to be incredible time!  Don't miss it. 

Posted 05/29/09 Sean Ryan Boston, MA

Brad - I think we should target Lynch. I spoke with him in person the other day and he gave me a verbal commitment to read 1207. I'll follow up with his office soon, and perhaps after that we should gather petitions to present to him. Sean

Posted 05/29/09 Wyatt Worcester, MA

I'm pretty sure Lynch voted against the bailout - I was leaning towards him or Delahunt. Once the McGovern is posted on Thomas.gov, you should take that to him, as nobody likes to be the first, but many like to 'pile on'. Who would want to run for election havnig NOT been for tranparency in Government (Audit the Fed). Keep up the fight - we'll figure who to target by the end of next week. Brad

FYI guys ... I've sent Lynch 3 letters now pleading with him to co-sponser and all I've gotten back is the sound of crickets. Here is an excerpt of my most recent: "....I saw your appearance on Fox News with Michelle Bachman in regards to your voting against the TARP funds in which you stated the reason was due to lack of controls and accountability. I want to take a moment to thank you for standing against that – it was the right thing to do. With that in mind I do not see how you cannot support HR1207; since it deals with the same exact problems only with the FED. Much like you argued during that broadcast that it is the responsibility of congress to check the spending of the executive branch; you must also agree that the FED needs to have the same (if not more) degree of scrutiny....." This was in reference to the following clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Qb4x5u7a2A Would anyone be interested in maybe a group visit to his office with a video camera or perhaps the media (provided we could even get them to show up)??

Wow ... dont press F5 and then click "resend" or else you duplicate post. Sorry about that.

I wasn't able to vote before the poll closed. My vote would be for B.Frank seeing I live in his district. If this group comes up with a plan to target another representatives ( calling,emailing,getting petitions,etc..) I will take part in the action. Tony

Are you folks using www.DownsizeDC.org to send emails to your congressman and both senators easily? I gather it is better to go to the congressman or senators own website and use their email addresses there. But DownsizeDC.org is easy to use. You can add your own comments to the standard brief letter they have for each "campaign" I think that their staff probably read the emails rather than just total the number. If you include information such as that the purchasing power of the dollar has dropped over 95 percent since the Fed was created to maintain the dollar's purchasing power in 1913 that might get their attention.

Was there a targeted campaign to get James McGovern to cosponsor HR1207? I was unaware of any official or unofficial campaign. I assumed that when I kept emailing him and sending the list of all the other cosponsors that I single handedly was responsible for his decision to cosponsor! I just wasn't aware of anyone else emailing or calling his office. Never mind! Wm

I'd like to thank Karyn Polito for coming to the last Mass Liberty Preservation Association Meeting and speaking to the Campaign for Liberty members.  She did a great job, and her "I will not vote to raise taxes" line brought a nice round of applause from the audience.

While I may not agree 100% with everything a politician stands for (except Dr. Paul of course), Karyn is certainly fighting for economic Liberty, in a corrupt Massachusetts government with  indicted speakers, bra-stuffing payoffs, repeat offender molesters, and political hack/cronyism jobs.  (Plus, it was nice to have some recognition from elected officials that Campaign for Liberty members will be letting their opinions known in the next election cycle)

I wanted to pass along a letter Karyn wrote [I was supposed to publish this about a month ago, but got tied up with my own work issues]

Dear Friends,

 I hope that the first few weeks of the new year have been good to you and your family, and that good health, happiness and blessings are yours throughout the year.

 I am writing to personally share with you the launch of my new online office and my legislative agenda for the coming session on Beacon Hill. I'm excited to get going and I hope to hear a lot from you in the weeks and months ahead.

 There is no question that Massachusetts residents and people throughout our nation are facing very difficult times right now. So many people have shared stories with me about how the economic downturn is affecting their own family budget, and how new taxes and tolls will make it even harder to stretch their hard-earned dollars.

 When I sat down to create my legislative agenda for the new two-year legislative session, I focused on filing bills aimed at making Massachusetts more affordable, strengthening criminal laws to better protect families, and creating opportunities for regular citizens to save energy.

 You can read about these and other bills I've filed on my new Web site. You can also find a digest of my monthly electronic news updates, press releases, photos and more. My site includes a feature called "Thought of the Day," and you can find new content there throughout the week. There is also a special page dedicated just to the state budget.

 The address for the new site is www.karynpolito.com. I promise to post regular updates so that you can know exactly what's happening on Beacon Hill and how it could affect you.

 I also want to thank you for both your interest and commitment to making Massachusetts a better place to live, work, raise a family and retire. Our shared goal is to make state government more accountable and transparent, and that starts with making Massachusetts more than a one-party dominated state. Visit www.takebackbeaconhill.com and join our Compact with Massachusetts.

 As we move ahead, I hope you will share your thoughts with me on the developments that arise on Beacon Hill and in your own community. I hope to hear from you soon!

 Sincerely, Karyn

Hey Massachusetts Campaign for Liberty members, please check out http://www.redmassgroup.com to discuss politics in the BayState.

Current- just did an interview with one of the RedMassGroup guys

http://www.redmassgroup.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=3470

Post some comments on how and why you came to support Dr. Paul!

Brad

I'm not sure I like that it seems like we're just turning into Republicans. If we dance witht the devil, we will become the devil; if we mingle with the Neo-Cons we'll be forced to comprimise and become Neo-Cons

Posted 03/02/09 mattgeb84 lynn, MA

i remember doing my night job as a security guard one night. I was on youtube searching through some videos, and i so happened to come across the interview John Stossel did with Ron Paul. At that time i had no idea who Ron Paul was, after watching the interview i remember being absolutely stunned and jaw dropped, i have never before in my life heard a politician make a lick of sense, until then. Ron Paul was the first honest and trustworthy politician I have ever seen and that's when I started researching him and getting more involved with his campaign, and before long i was a pauladdict, just couldn't get enough of his message

Posted 03/05/09 wazuto Boxborough, MA

none of the above

Posted 03/08/09 rob halvorsen Rutland, MA

I agree with FederalBetrayal. The republicans are as bad as the democrates. Let us not fall into the trap of being associated with any political party that does not follow the constitution!!!!
