Dear Massachusetts:

I am writing on behalf of all of the people who voted for change in November 2008 and do not want to go back to the eight years prior to that momentous day.  Martha Coakley becoming your senator is crucial to the contiuing progress of the current administration.   Your vote today is critical to financial regulatory reform, cap n trade, the jobs bill,  health care reform, and any other piece of legislation offered by the Democrats in Congress. Scott Brown has already highlighted the fact that he will be the 41st vote. He fully intends to follow the tea party and GOP playbook when it comes to the Senate. Republicans want this President to fail and electing Brown will insure that the Senate and Congress are hamstrung when it comes to any bill put forth in the Senate and the House. That is ANY bill.  Not just health care but card check, the Consumer Financial Protection Agency, a woman’s right to choose, cabinet members, immigration reform, energy reform, DADT, etc. .  Martha Coakley will fight for you. Scott Brown will align himself with and be beholding to the tea party and the GOP. This is clear by the tea party rallies that he has attended and the tea party fundraisers that he has promoted.  Brown is pretending to be an independent to get your vote but please take a look at his very conservative voting record as a state senator.

If you want the President to be able to accomplish his agenda that he promised in 2008 then vote for Martha Coakley.  Remember that this president brought us back from the verge of financial armegeddon in addition to bringing the economy back from the brink and boasting a 4% growth in the economy this past quarter.  He was only able to accomplish this because Democrats have a 60-vote majority in the Senate.  The Republican minority has filibustered EVERY single bill offered in 2009.  The only way the Democrats are able to overcome the filibuster is through its 60-vote majority.  Please give this President an opportunity to make a difference.  He has only been in office for a year.  Remember Bush had six years of a GOP controlled Congress.   

Coakley comes from a working class family and has been fighting for the working and middle class for most of her career.  Martha wants to fight for you, please give her the opportunity.

The polls are open today from 7am – 8pm.  Find your polling location here.
