The email was decrying the sleezy tactic the Warren campaign is running, by having her daughter's company use taxpayer money to ensure all the welfare recipients are registered to vote. It's sleezy, and shameful, but still not enough for me to actively support Senator Brown.
Here was my response email:
Here was my response email:
Hello “Jim.”
As I’ve said in previous emails to the campaign, and to callers as well…
I *WANT* to actively support Scott Brown. He’s probably a hell of a lot better than Warren (& I agree with the ‘sleezy’ comment below).
I am an INDEPENDENT voter. But I do vote.
I will most likely vote for Scott. But you won’t see a bumper sticker, lawn sign, or positive comment “recruiting others to come out & vote for Scott” on my Facebook page. Nope. Nuh uh. Not this time.
Here’s how Scott can get me fully on-board with his campaign.
FULLY SUPPORT THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION.
I know he’s got to pander to the middle on many issues in order to keep/get the few liberal independent voters out there who may vote for him. But I don’t want a Republican In Name Only (RINO). He can go to the middle all he wants on just about any other issue.
But on GUNS and GUN CONTROL, there should be no argument. He should be against any further gun control. It has been proven over and over again that it does not work. It only serves to disarm the law-abiding, and restrict our ability to live freely. Pandering to the left on this particular issue does nobody any favors. It’s allowing myths, lies, and lack of reason to survive, and I’m getting tired of it.
The “assault weapons ban” didn’t prevent a single crime. To suggest that leaving it “up to the states to decide” is a complete and utter cop out.
To deny support for law-abiding Americans who are licensed to carry in their home state the ability to carry anywhere by not supporting the National Right to Carry Reciprocity Bill, is similarly, a complete and utter cop out.
“States issues” my ass!
Senator Brown would be well-served to spend a few minutes learning the truth about guns:

Maybe he should talk to the people at Gun Owners’ Action League (goal.org), or Commonwealth Second Amendment (Comm2a.org), and get his “finger on the pulse” of real, honest, law-abiding, gun-owning AND VOTING Americans living in Massachusetts.
Maybe if he took a stronger stand against Mayors Menino (well-intentioned, but truly ill-advised) and Bloomberg (the ill-advisor!), and stood with freedom loving Americans everywhere, maybe then you’d get a campaign contribution from me. As it is, I’m mostly voting for you to counteract my two college-aged sons who ARE voting for Ms. Warren.
So I’m sorry to be a “single issue voter” but that’s how I honestly feel.
Thank you, and good luck with your campaign. As I said, I’ll vote, but I won’t campaign nor will I donate. Not this time. Nuh uh.
