Senator Brown
 

Our congratulations go out to United States Senator, Scott Brown!!! Against the odds, Senator Brown went up against the Democratic machine and all powers of the status quo in Massachusetts politics and prevailed.

 

By returning the “Kennedy seat” back to the people, Senator Brown has restored our voice in the affairs of the nation.  No longer are we the largest state without Republican representation in Congress. We thank him for undertaking this struggle on our behalf.

 

We would also like to thank all the volunteers who have labored so tirelessly over the last few months to make this success a reality. Without your enthusiasm and hard work, this victory would not been possible.

 

Going forward, we now have a chance to put the country back on track and prevent the government takeover of healthcare and industry as well as the intrusion of government into our lives. In Massachusetts, there is still much to be done. One party rule in Massachusetts has failed locally, just as it has failed nationally.

 

Our mission then is to support Senator Brown nationally, while restoring balance to State government in Massachusetts. Republican Town and City Committees need to recruit and support candidates for State Representative and State Senator. We also need to retake the Corner Office and restore the checks and balances of government.

 

We are looking forward to more upset victories to come in November, 2010.

 

On behalf of the AMRC Board of Directors,

 

Dick Hersum and Mark Antonelli

AMRC's Dick Hersum and Warren Norquist spoke to a lively gathering of the Framingham Republican Town Committee on April 23.  A number of topics were discussed starting with the political situation in Massachusetts today. Hersum and Norquist continued with a how-to talk on growing a Town Committee in the current climate including how "new media" Internet related technologies fit into the mix.

Norquist also had the opportunity to discuss his son Grover's latest book, "Leave Us Alone: Getting the Government's Hands Off Our Money, Our Guns, Our Lives."  The younger Norquist is president of Americans for Tax Reform, a taxpayer advocacy group he founded in 1985 at President Reagan's request.

AMRC's participation at the meeting was part of their statewide "AMRC Out and About" effort to build grass-roots support for the Republican party, ideas, and candidates. Republican Town and City Committees who are interested in having AMRC board members speak at an event should contact AMRC President Dick Hersum c/o AAI Agency at 781-891-1227.

Quoted

I think we've been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation.
Margaret Thatcher, talking to Women's Own magazine, October 31 1987
