Excellent Markey GOTV Summit yesterday

April 15, 2013 By demeter11

I wasn’t planning on getting very involved in Markey campaign because I was feeling pretty confident (sic) about his election and because I’m involved in city elections in Boston.  Still, I agreed to do a canvass on Saturday and was taken aback not only at the number of people supporting Lynch but at the clear dedication they felt for him.  That persuaded me to do whatever I could for these next couple weeks to help elect him.

The summit was great: lots of people, high energy, very organized training breakouts and good snacks.

And, I read a Globe letter to the editor that brought out a fact I hadn’t heard before and it sealed the deal for me. It said:

“According to the Library of Congress website, Stephen Lynch sponsored 17 bills in the 111th Congress, while Edward Markey introduced 46. In the 112th, Lynch sponsored 6 bills, but Markey sponsored 84. In the current Congress, the pattern continues — Lynch proposing 7 bills, Markey 17.”

I want another senator who will work for Paycheck Fairness, work for the environment, work for working people and against the financial interests who work against us.  I know you all do too and hope you’ll put on your walking shoes for Ed.  Sign up edmarkey.com

And, here’s a photo from the summit:

    I am not worried now about Steve Lynch buying an airplane’s service to fly his banner over Ashland before our boston Marathon.

    Here is my own Marathon footage:

    I am not surprised, but am impressed with Lynch’s banner.
    I earned a Markey bumper sticker by volunteering, but a neighbor does display his Lynch bumper sticker.

    I was at work yesterday, and today for our marathon, I came across several of my co-workers also watching.
    I did read Against All Odds as spring began. I love the biography’s basketball action, and then that Brown realized the error of his stealing vinyl records.
    I have not yet canvassed for Markey (Lynch has a canvass up in North Shore.), but I have phonebanked for him at our hometown headquarters at 303 Worcester Road (Route 9, Westbound side just before the junction with Route 126 which flies over), Framigham, Massachusetts 01701, USA.
    I have no money to give either Wu for Councilor or Arroyo for Mayor.
    Flying a Lynch banner clearly evidences dedication.
    Snacks are not what I come to the Markey campaign for, but we have had splendid dumplings and butter toffee crunch so far.

    Markey’s sponsoring and proposing numbers are even more impressive than Scott Brown scoring many twenty-point basketball games.
    My favorite thing about Brown is that instead of complaining about the family he came from, he raised his own family in a most admirable way.
    Anyway, I have two pairs of walking shoes for Markey, and own no high-cuff basketball shoes.

    you might have seen the airplanes that billionaire Tom Steyer from California is flying AGAINST Steve Lynch. He’s been targeting local sports events.
