U.S. Senate elections, 2010 - Massachusetts

I don't publish the links to the websites of the candidates, because we should not focus on what they say, but what they did and how they voted in the past, especially at the issues, that are so important to our country’s survival! We don't need politicians who talk a good game but those, who play a good game as well! That's the reason for publishing a link to the congressional votes database, so you can also research how they voted -if you are interested- at other than the crucial issues. The voting in the past shows you, if the particular candidate worked for or against the Constitution and we the people, his constituents.

update January 20, 2010:
Last night, the people of Massachusetts spoke.

Scott Brown won the election with 52% to 47% (1% voted for Kennedy).
Some background information: before Scott Brown's victory last night no Republican Senate candidate in Massachusetts had won since 1972. The seat he was seeking had been held by Ted Kennedy for almost 50 years and the Kennedy family was on the campaign trail against him. All 10 congressional districts in Massachusetts are held by Democrats. In 2008, the congressional Democrat in Massachusetts with the lowest winning percentage was Barney Frank - and he won with 68%! Just 12% of voters in Massachusetts are registered Republicans.

On Tuesday, Jan. 19 is the election for the Senate-seat of Ted Kennedy. For the Democrats, Martha Coakley is running, the candidate of the Republicans is Scott Brown. The race is close.

Martha Coakley stated explicitly that pro-life Catholics shouldn’t work in the medical professions. She is an outspoken advocate of the health reform bill which, in its latest iteration, will exclude union members and government workers from taxes on health insurance plans while taxing other classes of Americans. She stated explicitly that obtaining endorsements from Democratic politicos are more important than winning the support from the actual constituents of Massachusetts. So, can we expect, that she will represent we, the people?

Scott Brown is against Government run health care.
