Activists Standout in Medford Square

Five activists from the area held signs in Medford Square supporting Mike Sullivan one of the three candidates for US Senate seeking the Republican Party nomination at the primary election on Tuesday April 30.

"Saturday, April 27th, a group of five people bearing 'I LIKE MIKE' signs stood outside Ed Markey's district office in Medford Square and waved and smiled.  While traffic was thin, of course, given the time of day on the weekend, this observer thinks that a significant number of thumbs up, waves and cheery honks from Forest Street, High Street and Salem Street were indicative of a strong  consternation that is likely to be felt more and more in the Markey office as the Special Election draws nearer!"

Re-energized Republicans gird for Senate Primary

With only weeks to go until the April 30th primary, Michael Sullivan, Dan Winslow and Gabriel Gomez are gearing up their final efforts to capture the Republican  nomination  for U.S. Senate. All are seeking to expand their ranks with supporters willing to assist in reaching out to voters and energizing public support for a Republican victory.

Some say Republicans are demoralized.  NO WAY !  We just won a special election in Peabody for the open seat after a spirited Republican primary !  Demoralized parties don't have primaries and they don't win !  Can we have another US Senate win ???  Absolutely !!!  But it will take work.  So stand out with a sign, take some literature and walk your neighborhood or make some phone calls.

Call your favorite campaign and get involved in some way.  We can win this seat.  Don't pass on this opportunity to make history again.
