The Golden opportunity for Ma.

Massachusetts has a real chance to redeem itself this coming election with Question 1, being whether to chuck the income tax or keep it. This should be a no-brainer. To the skeptic, ask yourself "Do I want a 5.3% payraise, or do I want Beacon Hill to take it to distribute amongst useless programs and other Government waste?".

In tough economic times like this, it will be a relief on a lot of companies, workers, and families. This will bring back hundreds of thousands of jobs to the private sector, which will cause businesses to flock to Massachusetts. Families will have more money from their paychecks to go to groceries, utility bills, fuel, or whatever they please, and not to mention it will lead to more saving and investing. I have no doubts that gutting our State Income Tax will only lead to an increased quality of life for all hard working Mass citizens.

If the majority of voters vote Yes on Question 1 it will certainly resonate across the nation, causing other states to look at what we're doing with intrigue. And it will send a message to the politicians and bureaucrats on Beacon Hill that the hard working citizens of Massachusetts are not playing around anymore. This is what they get when they don't listen to the voters and decide not roll back the income tax. That slap to the face to the voters may come back at Beacon Hill with a closed fist.

I believe a lot voters in Massachusetts are closet Republicans. This may be one of those reminders, and if there is any issue that the Republican party should be behind and tooting the horn of, it is certainly this one.

Our State Government has shown us how they can spend our $12 billion dollars and the people clearly are not impressed. I think we'll keep it from them from now on. Vote 'Yes' on Question 1!

The Big Tent Party's Party

I can easily say that attending this Republican National Convention has been one of the most incredible times of my life. I am still in disbelief that I had been through it all, let alone being elected as a delegate. It's very difficult to sum up this whole experience, as I am still taking it all in. All I can say for now is that this has been one of the most important learning experiences in my life. I met so many people from all over this wonderful country, aye and naysayers alike. Our debates and discussions will never be forgotten and only show me that bridges have been further built. The Republican Party is a very big tent party, and as a Ron Paul supporter, I am proud to be part of this diverse group of individuals. I'm honored to have been part of this years Republican National Convention to ring in our next Republican presidential and vice presidential nominees, John McCain and Sarah Palin,


and to spread the liberty message of Dr. Ron Paul and to have people be open minded and listen.
Thank you so much to everyone who helped me get this opportunity. It's been a blast!

The Revolution Continues: United We Stand

Posted by Isaac Mass September 4, 2008 11:13 AM at Boston.com
In 1976 outsiders started a Revolution that took over the Republican Party. It was called the Reagan Revolution. In 2008, Ron Paul supporters see themselves in a similar position. Instead of fighting the machine, supporters of Dr. No are trying hard to turn the machine in a direction that favors constitutional rights and traditional conservative values. In Massachusetts, the Paul supporters are having a big impact.

It is no secret at the convention that Tuesday's hottest tickets were for the Ron Paul rally. It was not just Ron Paul supporters who went from MA. Notably there was State Sen. Bob Hedlund from the Plymouth and Norfolk district who is the highest elected member of the MA delegation. By Wednesday night, the unity between the delegations was so strong that Paul some supporters were sporting Sarah Palin buttons and MA Republican Party Executive Director Rob Willington was wearing a sporty Ron Paul button.

Over three days, the Paul supporters, who are about a third of the delegation, have been talking about not only helping defeat Barrack Obama in November, but continuing to build the party from the inside after the election. They plan to run for local and state office (some already are), they plan to run for vacant seats on the Republican State Committee and rebuild there Republican Town Committees. Over the last three days Paul supporters who came to the convention as outsiders after credentials challenges and snide comments have largely been accepted as good Republicans who care about their country, their party and the Constitution of the United States. They have been embraced as much as any other wing of the party.

The MA Paul supporters proved their political prowess and mettle as well by shining light on National Convention Secretary Jean Inman, by delivering all 43 MA votes to Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin. If the Paul supporters started like the minutemen with riffles behind trees, they come home from the convention with experience lieutenants who have been able to bring new cannons to the fight.
