Part II - Why is Article 8 Joyous About the Election?
By Attorney J. Edward Pawlick

       Seven incumbent legislators were targeted by homosexual activists from the Human Rights Campaign, with over $500,000 in emergency contributions being sent to Massachusetts in the recent elections.
       All seven were re-elected except for Vinnie Ciampa (D-Somerville) who wilted under the tremendous pressure of violence from the scores of activists brought in from out-of-state. He never did explain the core issue to the voters and lost as a result.
       The six who were re-elected were:
• Sen. Scott Brown (R-Norfolk, Bristol) who defeated the former aide of Cheryl Jacques 51%-47%.
•  Rep. Phil Travis (D-Rehoboth) who was targeted because he filed a Resolution to Remove Margaret Marshall from the Supreme Judicial Court after she made her illegal ruling on “marriage.” He won easily 63%-37%.
• Rep. Shirley Gomez (R-Outer Cape) who defeated the lesbian Selectman from Provincetown, 57%-43%.
• Rep Brad Hill (R-Ipswich area) who defeated a pro-homosexual candidate, 62%-38%.
• Rep. George Peterson (R-Eastern edge of Worcester County) who coasted past a pro-homosexual candidate, 65%-35%.
• Rep. Susan Pope (R-Wayland) who held off a homosexual-endorsed challenger from her hometown, 52%-48%.
        Of course, the big event occurred in the Primary when Rep. Emile Goguen (D-Fitchburg), the man who defied all political pundits when he filed a Resolution to Remove Judge Marshall and her three cohorts, won re-election over a lesbian opponent by an overwhelming 70%. Rep. Goguen was unopposed in the general election.
