One of the great embarrassments of this year on the Republican side was the fact that after her humiliating defeat by Scott Brown in January no republican got on the ballot to oppose her in the fall.

Jim McKenna however is trying to reverse this mistake, he is launching a sticker campaign for the Republican primaries. If he can get 10,000 sticker votes during the primary he will be on the November ballot and we will have the chance to retire Martha Coakley permanently.

I talked to Mr. McKenna last week concerning his campaign:

He also made a presentation at the Twin City Tea Party last week. Here is his presentation in three parts:

Part 2

Part 3

Not getting on the ballot initially was a mistake but there is no reason why we can’t make up for that mistake on primary day.

Red Mass Group has more here.

Update: Looks like he would be a square peg in the statehouse. from his BIO:

Jim has taught courses on law and ethics as an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the part-time MBA program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s Department of Management.

Ethics in Massachusetts? Boy talk about not fitting in.

Ten Buck Fridays (as seen on the Ruby Slippers Blog and the newly redesigned Adrienne’s corner) today is promoting Patricia Sullivan, running in Florida for the Republican nomination against Allan “Die Quickly” Grayson in the 8th district in Florida.

I interviewed Sullivan on the healthcare mandate back in April and Stacy and I talked to her at CPAC this year. She is certainly a worthwhile choice for congress and deserves your backing. Her blog is here and you can kick in to her campaign by clicking HERE.

One of the things about the tea party movement that you might have noticed is that although you will find quite a few religious and social conservatives in the moment, it doesn’t touch on social issues per se because that is not the mission of the group.

Now there is a social/religious conservative basis for tea party positions. If you are a social conservative and want to attend something with a more Christian spin on the topic a group called America Refocused may have just what you are looking for.

America Refocused revival is two-day event that will be joining the grassroots Patriot movement and Tea Party’s with the Christian Church.

I guess you could call it a Christian Tea Party. Details and Registration are available online. it will be held at the Johnson County Fairgrounds in Franklin Indiana. If you want some details on America Refocused’s principles they are here.

Given my job/employment situation and the lack of success of my last fundraiser (Feel free to kick into DaTipJar if you wish), I will likely be missing this event, but if you are in better financial shape than me or closer to Franklin Indiana that I am it would certainly be worth your time.

My latest Examiner column So NAACP. How’s that: “Don’t go to those racist tea parties” meme working out for you?

is available here, a quick peek:

Just last month at the twin city tea party democratic candidates turned out to seek the votes of Tea party members for seats in the general court (house and senate) however with a democratic party both polling death spiral numbers and totally dependent on the current 90-10 in the Black vote it would appear that a directive from the NAACP attacking the tea party would have the authority of the Pope speaking Ex Cathedra.

Who would have believed that the attack against the tea party would be as successful as the French World Cup Team?

Pay special attention to the excerpt from local Tea Party president Justin Brooks letter to the editor, it accurately states what this entire thing was all about.

And as always you can find my past examiner columns here. Check them out and send them to your friends.
