Update 2/21 Westford Ban

[Garys]

Thank you for those kind words. I may have stood up first, but I was quickly joined by a lot of good people and I will be forever grateful for their contributions.

You started a preference cascade. A lot of people felt as you did, but no one wanted to be the first to say something. You took that first, very important, step. There is no way to tell if you hadn't whether or not someone else would have. Had they not, then there is a good chance that the ban would have advanced.

You deserve the accolades you are receiving.

Sorry to bump this thread, but I didn't want to start a new one. I've been seeing far to many Robert Jefferies' yard signs around Westford, who are the pro-2a selectman candidates in the race?

 

[FrugalFannie]

Jim Jarvie and Scott Hazelton.

You can vote for 2 people

VOTE!

Westford residents can take just a few minutes at the polls to replace selectman Bob Jefferies tomorrow, Tuesday.

And just in case it goes unnoticed, Deb spent time helping me and my Lady pick out a gun. Took her to the range, shot with her, provided a couple of different guns AND ammo for her to shoot, all while this crap was going on. "Tireless" doesn't even come close!

Do it!

And also, Dan Winslow is the only one of the three R's to say he would support the 2A. The D's are pretty bad all around this time.

Also, Winslow was the ONLY ONE who bothered to show up at the Mass Sportsman's Council Annual Meeting. That says something right there.

Westford has a chance to get rid of Jefferies and Sweet. Jarvie and Hazelton are both Pro 2A. Get out and VOTE!!!

I voted on my way into work this morning. The counter on the machine, when I inserted my two ballots, was 13 and 14.

I doubt we will get a big turnout, but I hope like hell that Jeffries goes. I see a lot more Peraner-Sweet signs around town, so she may be tougher to oust.

 

[Andy5]

I hope that everyone in Westford and Mass is out voting right now or has already voted.

 

[Stryker]

Good luck to everyone in Westford - look forward to hearing about the results tonight

I am in precinct 1 and voted around 6:45. I think the counter was around 750 or so.

Breaking news from Westford Patch, final results:
Hazelton 1859

Peraner-Sweet 1798

Jarvie 1654

Jefferies 1206


It's too bad we couldn't oust both incumbents, but chief gun grabber Jefferies came in dead last! Bye Bye.

Gut feel says if it hadn't been combined with the special primary, we would've had a better shot of beating both.

 

[KiloVictorTango]

Still very good to get him out, one of the few bright spots today...

 

[mclina]

Nice. I can't wait until Ross is up for re-election.

 

[MA_Shooter]

Congrats.

 

[Asaltweapon]

Thank God!!!

I was a "blow in" by townie standards (74-88 NVTHS79) but had a solid growing up in town.

Nice. One step at a time.

 

[HuntMaine]

Great job people from westford! Way to get the vote out on the pro 2a stance.

 

[Quiet]

He'll blame the NRA

 

[FrugalFannie]

Nice. I can't wait until Ross is up for re-election.

Next year!

And so is Wormell and she helped us out. In fact she helped run Hazelton's campaign.

Not a bad showing for Jarvie. He's only been in town 3 years. Hazelton has been in town for a very long time and held many positions on town boards.

 

[30Mauser]

Outstanding!

I think someone should keep an eye on Mr. Jefferies. He doesn't sound quite right. Who knows what he's capable of after a defeat like this.

Don't worry, we have our eyes on him.

He lost for abusing government to foist his religion on people... Nothing sublime about that.

 

[doctorbossman]

Congrats on ousting Jeffries.
Outstanding.
That's the kind of message that should be sent clearly and firmly to all gun grabbers.

Here's an interesting take on Jeffries' motivation.

LETTER: What was Bob Jeffries thinking? - Westford, MA Patch

 

[Coyote33]

When is the next election, and is Jeffries considering running? Who can be run against him? NOW is the time to get this lined up, not after he has done all the background legwork and announces last minute.

ETA: Or do you mean the next election, when he could run for a seat again? Something tells me Westford residents wouldn't even sign the petition to put him on the ballot.

Yes, the next next one, where he might run again.

That would be next year. 2 seats will be up for election.
