As you may recall, GOAL refused to endorse Boston area businessman Gabriel Gomez when he ran for U.S. Senate.  We can't tell you how many complaint letters, emails and phone calls we received because of this decision. 

We had reason and he has proven us correct in our actions.

Read more on Mr. Gomez's "understanding" of our Civil Rights. 

Looks like this is open to Walpole residents only.
