Scott Brown is Breaking Campaign Promises; Here Are All the Ways You can Contact Him.


“The last stimulus bill didn’t create scottbrownchairone new job,” Brown said in response to a question about a jobs bill pending in the Senate. He added that the stimulus may have retained some jobs.

"I'll be the 41st vote, not the 60th vote,"
-Scott Brown February 4th

“This Senate jobs bill is not perfect. I wish the tax cuts were deeper and broader, but I am voting for it because it contains measures that will help put people back to work. ... I hope for improvements in that process going forward.”
-Scott Brown February 22nd

 
It didn't take Scott Brown very long to break one of his most important campaign promises and even his own statements by voting to advance another Stimulus Bill:  


H.R. SUMMARY: JOBS FOR MAIN STREET ACT OF 2010


The procedural vote taken today was to advance the following amendment onto the floor for debate instead of outright killing it. (Thus being the 60th vote, not the 41st)

AMENDMENT TO THE SENATE AMENDMENT TO H.R. 2847


While this was only a procedural vote and the bill still hasn't passed the Senate, allowing this bill onto the floor leaves the door wide open for more back room deals and outright bribery.  If you don't think this is likely to happen we offer the following from Politico:

"As late as Monday afternoon, leadership aides and key Senators were uncertain whether Reid would get the two Republican votes necessary to help the legislation clear a key procedural hurdle. But Reid clearly made enough promises to key Republicans to win them over.

Voinovich, for example, was happy to see the highway funding in the bill.

“I am pleased that this bill sends the message to struggling states like Ohio that they can move forward with shovel-ready transportation projects – projects that will put people back to work quickly and, the results of which, will contribute to economic growth,” Voinovich said.
"
 

Senator Brown isn't alone with his vote, as he stands side by side with Christopher Bond of Missouri, George Voinovich of Ohio, and Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, both of Maine.

We strongly suggest that everyone gets in touch with these 5 Senators and ask them to vote "NO!" on this bill when it gets to the Senate floor.  However as Scott Brown's website is conveniently unfinished and his phone mailbox is full we encourage EVERYONE who supported him through the past campaigns to reach out to him through these means:

Washington, D.C. Office:
317 Russell Senate Office Building,
District of Columbia 20510-2101
Phone: (202) 224-4543
Fax: (202) 224-2417

Boston, Massachusetts 02203

While there is no published email address to reach him, there is a way to FAX his offices from your computer.  Go to 
http://faxzero.com/ and enter in his fax number and contact information as well as your own if you choose, then simply type as if you were sending him an email.  Take pride in knowing that instead of simply ignoring an email, they have a tangible piece of paper they can hold in their hands.

Let's all take a moment to remind Senator Brown that it took a nation to get him elected and we will not forget his own words.

Our thanks to Gary Dykstra for the fax website.
