Political Mixer

Last Thursdays political mixer with the Massachusetts Republican Municipal Coalition PAC and WMYR'S was a success. We had about fifty people in attendance, including U.S. Senate candidate Jim Ogonowski.

It was a very exciting evening, not only did we have Jim in Attendance but also we heard from Jeff Beatty's campaign Manager. The main part of the evening was to Honor State Rep. Mary Rogeness. She was presented a plaque from MRMC member Chanel Prunier.

We also had quite a few different Republican Delegates from all over the Commonwealth. Including State Rep. Don Humason and MFYR's State Chairman Rich Wheeler, and a slew of local candidates for office.

It was a great evening and I am looking forward to more events like this over the coming year.

Jeff Beatty needs you!

Senate Race

This year, we have two Republicans running for John "Do-You-Know-Who-I-Am?" Kerry's Senate seat. They are Jeff Beatty and Jim Ogonowski. This video was on Jim's Website, and I thought that it was really clever.

The websites are:

Jeff Beatty: www.jeffbeatty.com

Jim Ogonowski: www.jimogonowski.com

I hope that you'll consider voting for one of these guys. Let's help John Kerry to retirement!

McCain in Mass.

As of last night John McCain is now the Republican nominee for President. After receiving an endorsement today from President George W. Bush; he has decided to to visit the all important Republican state of Massachusetts.







I received an Invitation today from Amber Hillman (daughter of Reed Hillman) here is a copy of it:








The event will be held on Wednesday March 12th 6:00pm, at the Taj Hotel in Boston. The cost for the event is $1000, but there is a significant discount for Young Republicans, which brings the cost to $250. This would be a good event if you want to show your support for the Party.


If you are interested please contact Amber Hillman at : amber.hillman@gmail.com







Why would McCain come to a blue state such as Mass?



Could it be that he's courting a VP? John McCain has not been able to raise substantial amounts of money. He only raised 12 million last month compared the 30 mil + raised by his Democratic counterparts. Having a certain politician from MA would be good for his war chest.




Could we be seeing the start of a McCain/Romney 08 Ticket?
