He will be here to Campaign for Markey, Senate special Election!
He's been forced by Democrats to answer for a controversial tax deduction he took on his home in 2005, as well as recent fundraising pitches sent by prominent Republicans characterizing his win as key to taking back GOP control of the Senate and obstructing President Obama's agenda.
The president remains popular in Massachusetts, and voters there are wary of the national GOP. Gomez has run as a "new kind of Republican" and pledged to buck his party when necessary, but fundraising pitches from the likes of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) have undermined that message to some extent.
Despite the double-digit lead, however, Democrats are taking no chances with their nominee. Last week, First Lady Michelle Obama appeared at a fundraiser for Markey in Boston, and President Obama will hold a fundraiser for Markey next week something he did for Martha Coakley, the Democratic nominee that lost to Republican Scott Brown in the 2010 special.

(856 posts)Gomez was terrible in the Debate last week. Massachusetts & Senator Warren need Ed Markey to be elected the next MA Senator. I am anxious about this as Scott Brown was a disaster & he got in because it was a special election. MA voters need to vote in historic numbers on June 25th !!!

It's the People of Massachusetts and Ed Markey who are Key.

Stand by your Man~
Crazy
I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then some day
You'd leave me for somebody new
Worry
Why do I let myself worry?
Wondering
What in the world did I do?
Oh, crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Stand By Your Man~
But if you love him, then you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him, oh, be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And somethin' warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep givin' all the love you can
Stand by your man
Markey for Senate! 2013!

(297,935 posts)in Mass who get to be there with these two together!
Gomez
Gomez said in a statement that Obama's planned fundraiser is evidence Markey's campaign is "failing."
No, Gomez.. it's Evidence that Ed Markey respects our President and wants PBO with him in his historic run in Massachusetts.
GOTV MASS! Mahalo, she~
sheshe2
(84,005 posts)We need him in Washington to balance the power and restore rights to the middle class. He also strongly supports women's rights!
Sadly there seems to be a few that could care less about supporting a Democratic candidate on this thread!
DU correct. Pausing to ponder this~
Go Markey! And a great big thank you to our President, First Lady and Elizabeth Warren for their support!
Mazie Hirono-D (HI), too!
MASS thanks you.

(297,935 posts)Whatever day it is .. it would be a struggle in my mind whether to manuever a way to see them or stay at work.
So great you got to see Elizabeth Warren on the campaign trail for Markey!

(297,935 posts)about Kombucha.. what's your favorite? Mine's Gingerade, yummm
I've been drinking it for years..ever since I discovered it in NY. Makes me feel very sparkly. I don't drink as much here because it's more expensive but that might be a good thing.
freshwest
(53,661 posts)Used to buy it by the case at the natural food market. Things have been kinda confused here for a while, though. Do you like that Acai Berry Good Belly drink, the probiotic?
Everyone's into the probiotics here now. Go to COSTCO, and it's most of what they sell, instead of the enzyme tablets. The Kombucha is supposed to be good for that, too.
I used to have Kombucha daily when doing my raw foodie thing. We have a lot of vegans, vegetarians and other foodies around the neighborhood.
I can just imagine you get your pick of all kinds of tropical goodies out there!
Cha
(297,935 posts)but I worked at a Natural Food Co-op and we got 25% off if we bought by the case.
I don't want as much now.. I have one about every other day. I don't like the green as much but will drink it in a pinch. As for Probiotics.. I drink Kombucha and eat poi. I haven't seen Acai Berry Good Belly drink. I'll look for it, thanks, fresh!
