Notes From D. R.

Can anyone–anyone–come up with a coherent, logical reason as to why voters in Massachusetts’ Ninth District should return Rep. Stephen Lynch to Congress on November 7?

It would be one thing if Lynch actually had some accomplishments to speak of, but can anyone point to anything he’s done that has had tangible benefits for the residents of his district?

It’s been mentioned again and again in the press that this upcoming Congressional election will result in scores of "do-nothing" incumbents being removed from power. Can anyone make the case that Lynch should not be among the list of legislators who get kicked to the curb on Election Day?

I’d love to hear from folks who’ve actually been helped by Lynch–people who can vouch for the Congressman’s capabilities, people who have been aided by the man who has served them on Capitol Hill for the past five years.

Why do I suspect that the number of folks who have been assisted by Lynch is almost immeasurably small?

Jack Robinson has the commitment to public service that Lynch lacks. He has the political independence that Lynch does not possess. Robinson is a candidate engaged to excellence, while Lynch is married to mediocrity.

Rep. Lynch isn’t pulling his load. Send Jack to Congress, and tell Steve to hit the road.
