Winchester Star Stifles Writer's Free Speech
Lynne Eagle a conservative journalist from Winchester who has contributed articles regularly to the Winchester Star has been informed by the Editor that "she may not submit political pieces during election season because it is unfair to those who disagree with [her]."
This action by the Winchester Star appears to be yet another effort to stifle views that the mainstream media would prefer not to be discussed or revealed in public by persons they do not agree with. 'Letters to the Editor' have historically been the public soapbox available to all.
The question that remains is who will be allowed to express an opinion on issues or reveal facts about candidates for public office?

Letters to the Editor
Congratulations to Richard Grant and Mark Cresse for their expressions of support for US Senator Scott Brown in the April 19th edition of the Medford Transcript. Both submitted 'Letters to the Editor' that were published. Their efforts are not just expressions of defense against unfair partisian criticism but well written commentary.

State Committee Elections Mixed
With 79 elected and re-elected State Committee members in attendance, and one vacancy, barely a handful of votes decided two highly contested elections during the organizational meeting of the Massachusetts Republican State Committee which took place on Thursday April 5th.
The election process began with a highly emotional race for Republican National Committeewoman in which former Lt. Governor Kerry Healy was elected over activist Channel Prunier. The election became very fluid after the incumbent Jody Dow withdrew from the race the previous week and Healy entered the contest.
Healy's election was quickly followed by the unanimous re-election of Ron Kaufman for Republican National Committeeman.
The other highly watched election, the election of Vice-Chair of the State Committee, followed. Jean Kangas was re-elected by a slim-but-firm margin over new State Committeeman Steve Alyward.
In other officer elections, Brent Anderson was re-elected as Treasurer of the State Committee, Angela Davis was elected as Secretary, Elizabeth Mahoney was elected as Assistant Treasurer and Bonnie Johnson was elected as Assistant Secretary. Each of the four were elected without opposition.

Show ID to Vote Effort Continues
Raplh Zazula of Concerned Citizens USA of Westford continues to lead the grassroots effort to change Massachusetts law to require everyone to show proper identification to vote spoke recently at a Medford meeting of the Greater Boston Tea Party.
During his remarks Zazula gave a detailed description of the various requirements that must be met by persons who wish to observe activities inside polling stations. Ralph emphasized that by law everyone has the right to observe.
Zazula is hoping to increase the number of volunteer observers who can give some time during the Presidential Primary on March 6th, and at primaries and elections during the spring and summer and at the General Election in November.
An instruction video and printed worksheets are available and training sessions can be arranged. To inquire about the program, arrange a training session or presentation at your meeting email Ralph Zazula at www.ShowIDtoVote.com or snail mail to Concerned Citizens USA, P.O. Box 485, Westford, MA 01886.

Dead Voters, RIP
Liberals love to laugh off voter fraud.
Its "a made up problem invented by GOP operatives," Robert Koehier, a self-termed "peace journalist," snickered in the Jan 5 Huffington Post. Regarding ballot hijinks, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz chuckled: "There is almost none."
But recent news is not so funny. One probe caught on tape shows how easily anybody can vote on behalf of dead Americans. Elsewhere, the total ballots cast by the dead exceeded the winning margins in several high-profile elections. These cases confirm the urgent need for all voters to prove they are alive and to correctly identify themselves via photo ID - just as Americans do on non-election days.
James O'Keefe, the conservative video journalist whose hidden-camera sting operation doomed the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), struck again during the New Hampshire primary. O'Keefe's organization, Project Veritas, dispatched three videographers to the Granite State. On Jan 10, they visited precincts in Manchester and Nashua and asked poll workers, one by one, if their voter rolls bore the names of several deceased people. The poll workers handed out 10 ballots, never once asking for a photo ID.
"Live free or die," a poll worker reassured one investigator she thought was Reynold Caron, who died on October 14, 2011. "This is New Hampshire, No ID needed."
O'Keefe's team members never cast these ballots. They returned them, unmarked, to precinct workers. New Hampshire Democrats seem unconcerned that their voter rolls contain the names of dead people and, absent ID rules, fraudsters conveniently could vote the ballots of the expired. Instead Democrats want to indict these whistleblowers.
"They should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, if in fact they're found guilty of some criminal act," Democratic Governor John Lynch to WMUR-TV in Manchester.
Republicans, however, consider this deadly serious. Following Project Veritas' revelations, Granite State legislators recently began debating two photo ID bills. The easiest way to disenfranchise the dead is to require every voter to show photo ID. Those who lack identification should get it for free and reasonable accomodations can be made for the infirm.
Let's not hear liberals' scratched record about how mandating a photo ID for voters is step one on the road to lynching. If true, then demanding a photo ID at America's airports would make the TSA equivalent to the KKK. Liberals' oft-cited claim that blacks are too befuddled to possess or aquire photo ID is pure racial profiling. Just how lame do they think black Americans are?
ID cards would help cleanse America's increasingly soiled voting system. Photo ID's would allow people to rest in peace rather than rush to the polls every Election Day.
