Governor’s Race Massachusetts – 2014 Resources
The end of the 2014 Governor’s Race is around the corner and we thought everyone including me would benefit from a listing of where to find information about both Gubernatorial candidates. The race is still too close to call and it is important that you not only go out and vote but also get as […]
JFK InAugural Address – Timeless and Inspiring
The 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address is a great opportunity to listen to it and get inspired. Though it took place 50 years ago many of the points were not only relevant to that time but through all time. Calls for “Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You but What […]
GOP Gubernatorial Hopeful Baker Tries to Slam Door on Mihos’ Campaign

The Healthcare Overhaul: Its Impact, Its Supporters, And, Of Course, Scott Brown
