"Massachusetts hasn’t voted for a Republican for President since Ronald Reagan in 1984. Barack Obama carried Massachusetts by 26 points. It has long been considered the bluest of blue states, and just weeks ago, nobody believed that the seat held by Ted Kennedy for almost half a century could possibly fall into Republican hands.
Well, Scott Brown proved them wrong. He didn’t win Ted Kennedy’s seat. He won the people’s seat. And Martha Coakley wasn’t the only one that lost yesterday. Make no mistake – this election was a direct repudiation of President Obama’s far left agenda, and, specifically, his disastrous health care plan.
Brown campaigned on the idea that he would be the 41st vote to kill Obamacare. He made no secret of his conservative principles on health care reform and the economy. And the people of Massachusetts, a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by 3 to 1, embraced those principles in record numbers.
That doesn’t mean the fight is over. Some reports have indicated that Democrats will scramble to keep Senator-elect Brown from being seated immediately so Congress can get Obamacare to the President's desk.
That’s unacceptable, and you can help stop that from happening.
Sign my petition to let Harry Reid and the Democrats know that you want Brown seated immediately. Over 16,000 of you signed the petition to let the Democrats know where you stand on Obamacare. Now the people of Massachusetts have joined the fight, and we have a chance to make a difference.
The fight is now."
Sincerely,
Senator Bob Bennett
