To the Editor:
The special election on Jan. 19 will mark a historic political moment here in the commonwealth of Massachusetts.
For the first time since 1953, it will actually be OK if the fellow named Kennedy doesn't win.
So now is the perfect opportunity to actually bring some long overdue change to that Senate seat. And it is past time to take a hard look at the same old corrupt political maneuvering that has been the ongoing story of Democrat Party politics here in the Bay State.
If the people of Massachusetts really want change, then they are going to have to make that change happen. And voting for Scott Brown represents that kind of real change.
Scott Brown voted against the sales tax increase. He knows that government cannot create prosperity through increased taxation. Scott also knows that nations cannot simply legislate prosperity into being.
People and companies create jobs and prosperity. But this can only happen when government gets out of the way and actually lets the people build the businesses and make the money that drive job creation. Scott Brown has promised to work to get intrusive government out of the way of business.
The same Democrat Party that is, today, driving business and jobs out of Massachusetts is the same party that gave us Scott Brown's Democrat opponent. And her mind-set, of bigger, more intrusive government, and higher taxes, is precisely what we will get if we fail to elect Scott Brown.
I am voting for real change. On Tuesday, Jan. 19, I am voting for Scott Brown.
