Scott Brown for U.S. Senate!

Will You Help Make History?

Vote for Scott Brown for U.S. Senate

"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." -Sam Adams.

Today, Tuesday, January 19, 2010 we the citizens of Massachusetts have a once in a lifetime opportunity to send a message to Washington D.C. that will resonate around the world!

The election on Tuesday is not about Democrat vs. Republican. It isn't even just about our Second Amendment civil rights, while that is certainly a priority for GOAL members. This election is about sending a clear message to the entrenched political machine in Washington D.C. that an elected seat of any kind belongs to the people and not to a family dynasty, political party or any other entity.

As Thomas Jefferson once said, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." It should be obvious to all that we have not come to that point yet, but it should also be clear to everyone that our nation's capital has become a tyrant in of itself. While this is not a physical battle, we certainly have an opportunity on Tuesday to spill some political blood and recapture some of our authority over our government. In this battle, your weapon is your vote!

As our forefathers did many years ago when they rallied the local patriots at the Concord Bridge, it is time for us to rally our fellow patriots. We urge you to rally your family, your friends, your neighbors and armed with your votes go to the polls on Tuesday.

Together as a voting modern militia we can retake our freedom and our future! A win for Scott Brown on Tuesday is a win for freedom and it will most certainly become known as the political shot heard round the world.

Martha Coakley:

·         In November of 2009 as Massachusetts Attorney General  filed an Amicus Brief to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court opposing the Second Amendment as an individual civil right. In the brief she cited a post civil war case called Cruikshank to back her position. This case was one of the most anti-civil rights and racist decisions ever handed down and not only ruled against the Second Amendment, but the First as well.

·         Attached regulations to GOAL's Target Shooters bill after its passage to make it virtually impossible for firearms to pass the standards. Nearly four years after the bill's passage only three firearms have made the list.

·         Continued the enforcement of the fraudulent handgun regulations that were created through an abuse of the consumer protection laws.
