Scott Brown posted an op-ed piece at the Boston Globe yesterday.  The main premise of his article was that the health care fight is not over.  He pointed out that part of his campaign for Senator from Massachusetts was that he would be the 41st vote against the proposed health care reform.  The people of Massachusetts, breaking with all traditional expectations in the State, elected him.  That should have been a powerful message to Washington.  Some of us who voted for Scott Brown feel like the man in the cell phone commercials yelling, “Can you hear me now?”  I am not at all sure Washington has heard us yet.

Senator Brown has pledged to work for repeal of the very expensive healthcare reform bill that recently passed.  He is looking for ways to reform healthcare that will save consumers money and avoid a government takeover of the healthcare industry. 

Senator Brown concludes:

“Washington is broken. All across the country, people believe that their elected officials are working for themselves and not on behalf of their constituents. Only when we start heeding the will of the American people can we begin to restore faith in government, and it all starts with commonsense, practical solutions that will put Americans back to work and get our economy back on track.”

That kind of clear thinking is the reason I am glad I voted for Scott Brown for Senator.
