I don’t want people here necessarily to hang on my views. There are so many people here. First, I want to thank Amber Hurley and Leti Davalos for organizing this event. I want to thank my agent, Gail Ross, for being here. You have probably already seen one of the 10,500,000 Mike Bloomberg ads; you know the tagline is “Mike Gets it Done.” No. Gail gets it done (laughter), so thank you for being here. One unusual person I want to -- also, another great book that you have to read, my friend, Melissa Rogers, who’s a visiting scholar here, we worked together for 20 years, her book, “Faith in American Public Life,” which has a nice double meaning, is a great book to read.

  • Massachusetts 2012 Senate Poll
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 2, 2010 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 Scott Brown looking good for 2012 re-election Raleigh, N.C. – In a look ahead to 2012, PPP tested five different Democrats against freshman Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown, who surprised the world by taking Ted Kennedy’s old seat in a January 2010 special election that was a precursor to November’s midterm drubbings. But Brown is still so popular even in a wider electorate that even in this heavily blue state, none of the five can come closer than a seven-point deficit. Brown tops recently re-elected Governor Deval Patrick, 49-42; Kennedy’s widow Vicki, 48-41; 34-year representative of the 7th congressional district, Ed Markey, 49-39; 8th- district Congressman Mike Capuano, 52-36; and 9th-district Congressman Stephen Lynch, 49-30. The varying deficits are largely a function of name recognition, but there is clearly a ceiling for a Democrat right now in an unlikely place. Brown gets 22-28% of Democrats, something usually only seen in Southern Democratic states like North Carolina. He maintains 85-89% of his own party, and holds 29- to 34-point leads with independents, who make up almost as much of the electorate (38%) as Democrats (42%). In a sign of how moderate and mainstream Brown’s image is, 53% say his views are “about right,” something only 32% say of the GOP as a whole.

  • Politicians and Their Professors the Discrepancy Between Climate Science and Climate Policy
    Better Future Project 30 Bow Street Cambridge, MA. 02138 Politicians and Their Professors The Discrepancy between Climate Science and Climate Policy By Craig S. Altemose and Hayley Browdy Massachusetts Edition Better Future Project 1 Politicians and Their Professors: The Discrepancy between Climate Science and Climate Policy By Craig Altemose and Hayley Browdy With research and editing assistance provided by Elana Sulakshana, Alli Welton, and Kristen Wraith © 2012, Better Future Project 30 Bow Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 About This Report This report seeks to highlight the discrepancy between the overwhelming consensus on climate change that exists among the nation’s scientific community and the lack of action by federal leaders. Past studies have shown that 97-98% of climate scientists who publish in peer-reviewed journals agree with the consensus that climate change is real, happening now, and man-made. Since many politicians seem to disregard the views of such scientific “elites” as a whole, we decided to compare politicians’ views on climate change to those of the climate experts at their alma maters. These politicians clearly valued the expertise of the academics at their schools enough that they chose to (usually) spend tens of thousands of dollars and up to four years of their lives absorbing knowledge from these institutions’ experts. We thought that even if these politicians choose to disregard the consensus of national experts, they might be persuaded by the consensus of the higher education institutions in which they trusted enough to invest great amounts of their time and money. This report and the research supporting it are available online at www.betterfutureproject.org/resources.

Richard Neal Rep. Mike Capuano Rep. Jim McGovern Rep. Stephen Lynch Rep. Niki Tsongas Rep. Bill Keating Rep. Joseph Kennedy III Re: End War Without End - Community Leaders’ Letter Dear Senators and Representatives, The shooting down of a Syrian air force jet, following a Tomahawk missile attack on a Syrian airbase, represent a significant escalation of US military activity in the Middle East, but not a dramatic departure from the policies of the last decade and a half. Our country is waging war in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, and Afghanistan, and our troops are deployed in over 150 foreign countries. The result has only been more death, more destruction, more refugees, and more terrorism. Our war without end began with the US invasion of Afghanistan in December 2001, but quickly expanded to the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, and North Africa. Millions of civilians have been killed and displaced in this war and the Middle East faces a refugee crisis of unprecedented proportions. Thousands of young American men and women have been killed and many thousands more injured or traumatized. Economists estimate that this war will cost the American people several trillion dollars and that our children and grandchildren will be paying for it. Congress represents the voice of the people in Washington, DC. It is time for you, as our representatives, to speak for us and to claim your power to choose peace over war.

    PROGRESSIVE MASSACHUSETTS 2018 CONGRESSIONAL ENDORSEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE Date: July 22, 2018 Candidate: Mike Capuano Office Sought: Representative, 7th Congressional District Party: Democrat Website: mikecapuano.com Twitter: twitter.com/mikecapuano Facebook: facebook.com/mecapuano Other Social Media: Email questions to [email protected]. Questionnaire Responses (excepting sections labeled CONFIDENTIAL) will be pub- lished on our website. 2 I. About You 1. Why are you running for office? And what will your top 3 priorities be if elected? I know that with Donald Trump in the White House, it is more important than ever to resist, to fight, and to win. That’s why I’m running for reelection, so that I can continue to be a strong and effective voice against the attacks coming out of this White House on all the values we treasure as Americans. And I know that once we do defeat Donald Trump, we’ll be able to make real progressive progress, from Medicare for All to college affordability to a comprehensive immigration reform bill. With my experience and progressive leadership, I know that these proposals can finally become a reality, and I’m ready to fight to make sure they’re put into law. This November, Democrats have a strong chance to take back the House, and when we do, I can put my experience to work holding Donald Trump accountable and passing a truly progressive agenda. I believe the combination of my record of standing up for our values and my experience successfully winning fights for progressive priorities shows exactly why I can be such an effective fighter for the 7th district: I don’t deliver for Wall Street, special interests, party leadership, or big corporations.
