JIM MORAN’S RESPONSE TO U.S. SUPREME COURT DECISION DEMONSTRATES GROSS HYPOCRISY

(Arlington, VA) – Yesterday, Jim Moran criticized the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission, claiming that it “will allow corporations to drown out the voices of average Americans.”

Responding to Moran’s comments, Matthew Berry made the following statement:

“Given that Jim Moran funds his campaigns in large part through donations from executives, political action committees and lobbyists of companies to which he directs earmarks, it takes true chutzpah for him to criticize the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on the grounds that it will allow corporations to drown out the voices of average Americans.

In Jim Moran’s office, corporations drowned out the voices of average Americans long ago. If Jim Moran were truly concerned about the corrupting influence of corporate money, he would immediately announce that he will stop requesting earmarks on behalf of his campaign contributors.”

Old Dominion Watchdog confirmed this week that Moran has received over $80,000 this year alone in campaign contributions from executives, PACs, and lobbyists of companies for which he has requested earmarks totaling over $50 million. Such donations represent over 20 percent of the money raised this year by Moran.

Matthew Berry announced his candidacy for Congress last week and served as a law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

The kooky liberals heads are exploding over the fact that State Senator Scott Brown may in fact beat the terribly inept Martha Coakley in today’s special election for Ted Kennedy’s seat. She was on the Bill O’Reilly show last night and tried to explain away Scott Brown’s surge by saying (emphasis mine):

“It think that there are a number of factors here. It’s not quite as black and white as it may seem. First of all Scott Brown is a hunk. And, I think that the fact that he posed semi-nude for a magazine gave him a huge advantage in public recognition.”

Memo to Ms. Quinn, Scott Brown’s photo shoot was almost 30 years ago and just shows how kooky you are. Could be Scott Brown’s ahead because 1) Obamacare is extremely unpopular even in a deep blue (Democratic) state like Massachusetts? 2) Martha Coakley has run a very inept campaign even taking a vacation during the middle of it? 3) People, even Democrats and Independents are upset with Washington and maybe want many of the same things Scott Brown says he wants? I would think any of those three things has far more importance on this race than something Scott Brown did almost 30 years ago in 1982.

And she’s considered a respectable reporter in Washington circles.

At least three million people have been affected by this week’s earthquake, with at least 50,000 dead. The Episcopal Diocese of Haiti – the largest diocese of the Episcopal Church – has, like all social institutions in Haiti, been devastated.

PRAY
Hold all of the people of Haiti, and all those with friends and loved ones in Haiti, in your prayers. The National Cathedral hosted A Service of Prayer for Haiti on Sunday January 17 at 6PM ET which was broadcast nationally. Check the cathedral website for more details and view the service online.

GIVE
The most immediate thing Americans can do is give to the relief effort. Episcopal Relief & Development has disbursed emergency funding to the Diocese of Haiti to help meet critical needs such as food, water and shelter for those affected, and stands ready to support the country’s ongoing recovery and rebuilding efforts in the days to come. As Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori said this week: “Even under ‘normal’ circumstances, Haiti struggles to care for her nine million people. I urge your concrete and immediate prayers in the form of contributions to Episcopal Relief & Development, who are already working with the Diocese of Haiti to send aid where it is most needed.”

ADVOCATE
I applaud President Obama’s pledge of $100 million in U.S. assistance to Haiti, and his Administration’s decision to halt, for the time being, U.S. efforts to return Haitians refugees already in the United States to their own land. Click here to send a message to the President and tell him Haiti needs OUR help now.

US Senate candidate Scott Brown held a “People’s Rally” at historic Mechanics Hall in Worcester on January 17, 2010, two days before the special election in Massachusetts. Curt Schilling, Doug Flutie, and many former New England Patriots players attended. Here’s the video News 7 released earlier.

Here’s video the Scott Brown campaign released with footage of the great speech Senator Brown gave.

GO SCOTT GO!

On this day as we celebrate the life of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, please remember the people of Haiti and consider, if you haven’t, donating to the relief effort.

Text ‘HAITI’ to 52000 to donate $10.00 to the Salvation Army relief effort.

Text ‘HAITI’ to 90999 to donate $10.00 to the Red Cross relief effort.

If you use Apple’s iTunes on your computer, you can click here (iTunes will open) and be taken directly to an iTunes donation page. The donation will be charged to the credit card connected to your iTunes account and sent to the American Red Cross.

You might also go to the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund to make donations and find out other ways to help.

President Obama appeared in Boston yesterday with Martha Coakley at Northeastern University and couldn’t fill up the hall (capacity 3,000). Major fail.

GO SCOTT BROWN!

Mitch Sewart, Director for Organizing for America (a.k.a. BarackObama.com), sent a letter out to Democratic constituents in Massachusetts. In the letter he says:

There’s a crucial Senate election in Massachusetts in just three days. We need your help to win it.

The polls are tightening as right-wing money floods the state, and one even shows the race to be a dead heat between progressive champion Martha Coakley and her extreme opponent. The truth is, special elections often have very low turnout and are notoriously unpredictable.

The stakes are just too high to leave Martha’s victory to chance.

If we lose, Sen. Ted Kennedy’s seat will be in the hands of someone who opposes everything he fought for. We’ll lose a key vote for the President’s agenda in the Senate — and put all the progress we’ve made toward health reform at risk.

That’s why OFA is putting together a massive voter turnout effort to make sure Obama voters get back to the polls this time around — but we need your help to pay for it. Please donate $5 or more to OFA to help fund our organizing, including our work to elect Martha Coakley.

OFA is going all out in Massachusetts — we’re sending organizers, knocking on doors, and making phone calls by the tens of thousands to make sure that folks know how to participate.

It’s a huge effort, it’s expensive, and time is short. But with the outcome uncertain and the stakes sky high, I don’t want to wake up the morning after the election thinking that we could have done something more. If you feel the same way, please donate $5 or more to help us make Martha Coakley the next senator from Massachusetts:

Thanks,

Mitch

This is the same liberal moron who called Sarah Palin’s book tour ‘dangerous’ because she told the truth about the so-called ‘death panels’. The Examiner and the American Thinker blog prove how they do indeed exist. Just one more reason the Democrats are getting desperate.
