Nearly 100 people crowded into the Michael Perkins VFW Post in South Boston last weekend for an energetic "Tea Party" meeting. Brian Camenker of MassResistance was one of the three featured speakers.
Camenker spoke about the horror stories in the public schools inflicted by homosexual activists and funded by taxpayer money, as well as bills before the Massachusetts legislature that would make things even worse. He talked about successful battles by citizens to fight back. In particular, he discussed the struggle several years ago to get the Parental Notification Law (Ch. 71 Sec. 32A) passed, despite vicious attacks from the homosexual lobby, Planned Parenthood, and the teachers' union. Plus a Legislature and Governor who were not supportive.
Some Tea Party leaders around New England (especially "big tent" Republican types) want to avoid the so-called "social issues." But we've found that the rank and file activists understand the serious threat America faces in this regard and do not want to ignore it.

glad somebody is shocked.
Connecticut does not have any group on the ground opposing the queers and aborts. A complete vacuum. THink they would consider opening a “branch office”?
COnn is also the only state where National Right to Life has no state affilliate.
What’s a guy to do? I’m within a one hour drive to 4 House districts that are nationally targeted. You’d think folks here would take advantage of that opportunity.
I am sick of working for politicians for free ... and I sure don’t wanna be on staff ... and the teaparty crowd has ZERO focus. They are dominated by glory seekers, people who like to here themselves talk. There is a special election here on March 2 (state Rep). Nobody doing much.
Any suggestions? Punt?
something wrong here
I would suggest that you (i) select the candidates for whom you wish to work (maybe one in CT, one in NY and one in MA), (ii) contact the candidates and tell them what you are willing to do for their campaigns (pointing out your experience in past campaigns) and (iii) wait for the candidates to respond. If they don’t respond, forget about them, since they wouldn’t know how to use your help anyhow.
But it seems to me that with your energy, experience and willingness to work down in the trenches, and with the dearth of good candidates in CT, you might as well run for office yourself someday soon.

I’ve noticed a few double-posts today.Must be time for another tune-up for Free Republic.
You can say that again (but please don’t : )
out of breath? #11
My computer wouldn’t show my post, whether on my thread or on my pings, so I kept hitting “back” and “post.” After all that typing I didn’t want to risk losing what I had written. Now I’ll probably get banned for wasting bandwidth. : )
i had the same thing. freep was having server problems or network problems.
i copy stuff into a word document often before posting so i dont lose my work
