Dear Robert,<\/p>\n

Did you vote for Scott Brown in the past \u2014 in 2010 or back when he was a state senator? If so \u2014 and if you are not voting for him in 2012, please click here to tell us your story<\/a> (or pass along to others.) Scott Brown ran as a moderate, but his voting record has been extreme. As the upcoming U.S. Senate election gets off the ground, we want to make sure the voices of former Brown voters are heard in the media. Local PCCC member<\/span> Cynthia Curtis is a former Brown supporter and independent voter who recently told ABC news she\u2019s \u201cincreasingly unsure of what Scott Brown really stands for\u201d while \u201cElizabeth Warren<\/span> has spent her life fighting for the middle class and holding businesses<\/span> accountable for their actions. That\u2019s exactly what we need in Washington.\u201d That\u2019s powerful. And we need more stories like that. So if you\u2019re a former Brown voter who now will vote against him, please click here to let us know!<\/a> (And please pass this to others.)<\/p>\n

Thanks for being a bold progressive<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u2013Adam Green<\/span>, Stephanie Taylor, Kristiane Skolmen, and the PCCC team.<\/p>\n

This letter is from the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. Haven\u2019t we had enough progressive change?<\/p>\n

The only way that I would consider not voting for Scott Brown would be if the Republicans in Massachusetts ran a more conservative candidate. They won\u2019t do that because a more conservative candidate might not be electable. I don\u2019t always agree with Scott Brown, but he used to be my State Senator and I know him to be an honest, thoughtful man. Therefore, I will vote for him in 2012.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Warren, one of the Democrats who is running for the Massachusetts Senate seat against Scott Brown, recently stated:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear: you moved your goods to <\/strong>market<\/span><\/strong> on the roads the rest of us paid for; you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate; you were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn\u2019t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Ms. Warren does not mention the financial risks<\/span> and sacrifices the factory builder was willing to take in order to build that factory or the fact that the factory creates jobs. She also fails to mention that, assuming the business<\/span> that built the factory was successful, they already pay more than their fair share in taxes. She does not understand what it takes to put people to work<\/span> (other than for the government). Vote for Ms. Warren if you want a permanent unemployment<\/span> rate of 9 percent or over. Vote for Scott Brown if you would like to see less government and lower unemployment.<\/p>\n
