The other day I was on “Urban Update,” and soon thereafter I received the following e-mail:
I saw you today on Urban Update, which is a nice show with great topics. Anyway, I enjoyed listening to you.
I am not from your voting area, am staying in Arlington at my Aunt’s house due to unemployment for over a year. I came out here from Central Mass., Lancaster area to find work and hope to return because I love the country type areas more.
However, I believe that you will be a great state Senator if you are voted in. You seem really nice, and motivated to help real working people. I prayed for you and will continue to do so. Please always be a true champion of regular people. Mass. needs good politicians who listen, provide jobs, lessen taxes and unnecessary spending, and who are willing to spend wisely if it means helping our citizens.
What you had to say makes sense. No one is doing anything in Mass. to create jobs, good jobs with decent pay that anyone can get, instead of low wage jobs with no career path, and we need truly affordable or free higher education and job training. You already need to be rich or have a good paying job to afford college!
I wish I could vote for you. If you mail me a sticker, I could put it on my car so people would see it as I drive around.
Good Luck and God Bless you.
I know that a member of my staff already posted this message, but I think it’s worth posting again. I’m not the candidate that was able to reach to my bank account to pay for college. I had to work my way through school in order to pay the tuition. I had to postpone my dream of law school because it wasn’t possible for me to afford the cost of attendance. Working in construction allowed me not only the ability to afford law school, but also to employ those that needed a second chance.
I know first-hand what it’s like for families out there today. I was raised under the same conditions.
We can bring better paying jobs to this community. We can send our kids to college without any undue burden. We can make our streets safer. We can do better for our youth.
Please come out to vote tomorrow, and please Vote Benzan!
