11:45 a.m. A video of a question on Unions:
11:39 a.m. During Q & A about running for low offices and going to high offices: “Invest in the office you are in so that the people will want to promote you to higher office.”
11:20 a.m. Next speaker: “Starting now if you are thinking of being elected you need to do one thing every day. Many times simply listening is enough let people know you are interested in what they say.” “That which unites us is greater than that which divides us.”

Examiner: Massachusetts Tea Party Republicans re-arming for 2011 and beyond

My latest for the Examiner talks a bit about local Massachusetts republicans re-arming:
the Gavel is passed to a new chairman
Although the working class group assembled last evening makes a mockery of that meme, the problem as Connaughton pointed out was proving that to the public. Her solution, more local involvement. She like the Twin City Tea Party Forum a week ago stressed Republicans need to get involved in politics on the local level bringing “the message of fiscal responsibility” that working class people both understand and support. It was by this method that “a farm team can be created” from which candidates known and trusted by the people could be drawn to win statewide.
The Fitchburg Republican Committee is one year old
Between this and my previous article on the Tea party forum the general consensus is that we have to start at the bottom in this state to change things.
It won’t be quick and it won’t be easy, but it won’t be boring.
