100 Legislators will be Targeted for Removal
This Year
Activists Say the Issue Is Not Gay Marriage but Following the State’s
Constitution
The
100 legislators
who will be ripe for removal in this year’s election will be targeted
because of their indifference to the state’s Constitution, say state
activists.
“More than the gay marriage issue, this is a violation of
our Constitution,” one activist says. “The violation of the Constitution
by the leaders of the Democratic Party has been going on continually
since 2002, but this year we are ready for them.
“This could result in a huge gain for the two-party system
in the state. We look like Mississippi did a few decades ago. But
even they have changed. We are the only state where one Party has
total and complete control. Every political scientist and every politician
knows that corruption will inevitably follow.”
The unknown factor,
they say, is why the Party is so indebted to the homosexual lobby.
Many Party leaders are gone because they have embraced gay marriage
and been defeated at the polls, including Senate President Tom Birmingham
and Shannon O’Brien. Birmingham said many times that he was defeated
by O’Brien in the Primary because of his public endorsement of gay
marriage and everyone, including the Globe, agreed that she lost in
the general election for the same reason.
List of 100
The list
of 100 will be headed by Senate President Robert Travaglini and
House Speaker Sal DiMasi.
The Senate is much worse, say the activists, who point out
that most of them voted to adjourn, whereas a majority of the House
voted not to do so.
Some of the legislators abstained and it is unclear whether
any of them were paired. One who abstained was the Majority Leader
of the House John Rogers who will undoubtedly be on the removal list.
There remains a lot of research to be done to determine whether
any of the 100
have alternative candidates. MassNews will attempt to determine
much of that for its Monday edition.
Airplanes Are Targeting DiMasi and Travaglini
Airplanes will begin targeting
Speaker Sal DiMasi and Robert Travaglini today in the beginning of a
large effort by MassNews to tell residents that news of the campaign
to restore integrity to the state’s legislature will be featured
in MassNews.
The new banners say:
DIMASI & TRAVAGLINI BROKE THE LAW --- MASSNEWS.COM
and
MAKE OUR LEGISLATURE VOTE ON MARRIAGE--MASSNEWS.COM
The banners do not indicate
any preference on the issue of gay marriage, only that the legislature
stop violating the state Constitution.
It is difficult to say
much in the 45-characters and -spaces that are possible in an airplane
banner, so the residents are sent to massnews.com where they will
find much additional information.
