DO WE HAVE THE GOVERNMENT WE DESERVE?
CAN WE DO BETTER??
THE FITCHBURG REPUBLICAN CITY COMMITTEE WANTS AND NEEDS YOUR HELP!!
Unfortunately our Republican candidates and the Party was defeated in November 2012. We were defeated, but we are not gone!! We are dusting ourselves off and are coming back, stronger than ever. We have many ideas on how to attract new members to join the Party as well at to attend our monthly meetings to help in our activities throughout the year.
Why did we lose, because in part because we did not have YOU. YOU didn't become involved and participate, you let others do the work. We were willing and able, but fell short. It is now your time to join in and help. We don't need you sitting home feeling sorry for yourself and asking how could "he" have been re-elected. There are local elections in 2013, an unexpected Senate race, as well as U.S. House positions open again in 2014. There may also be some special elections in MA that will need all hands on deck to help get out the vote. Don't sit at home again this time. Join us this time. We could have made a difference in 2012, but we didn't have enough supporters to help us get out our vote. Don't let this happen again. If you had joined us, we may have changed the results!

IT SEEMS THAT MORE AND MORE, MEDIA CHANGING TUNE ON OBAMA
It seems that not so long ago every article and commentary piece in the newspaper was another opportunity to extoll the virtues of our young President. Now, more and more, media pieces report the news with less bias, frequently publishing commentary by conservative reporters and writers who did not seeing the world through the glowing aura of Obama's light.
I picked up the "Boston Herald" on April 26 and all three opinion pieces gave an unflattering vision on the status of the Obama presidency. No longer is he described as the young, ivy-educated constitutional scholar who is a brilliant thinker and leader who can govern the masses as demonstrated by his roots as a common man helping the less fortunate in the hoods of Chicago. Now he being referred to by such terms as: "Evader in Chief" (Graham), continued reminders of Obama's limited resume as a community organizer (Thomasson), and his inability to comprehend the fallacy of "tax high earners" (Barone).
Attached are the three Oped pieces from the "Boston Herald". We provide the articles, you decide if the media is changing its tune regarding President Obama or if this page is just an anomaly:
