A SHOUT-OUT to HOWIE CARR!

And a warm welcome to Lisa Barstow, our 1st Guest Blogger!

On Sunday, November 3, Howie Carr was the featured guest speaker of the Newton Republican City Committee - engaging over 100 attendees, and signing copies of his brand new book "Ratman", on the trial of Whitey Bulger. Howie Carr is a Boston Herald columnist, New York Times bestselling author, and afternoon talk show host on WRKO.  He has become legendary for regaling listeners with a comical approach to the fraud, waste, and abuse rampant on Beacon Hill.

He spoke at the American Legion Post 440 hall in Newton, MA.  The event was open to all and promoted by the Needham Republican Town Committee, and on local Patches.  Attendees from Needham, Wellesley, Waltham, Brookline, as well as Newton, enjoyed the refreshments, and Howie's stories about exposing EBT fraud, missteps by candidate Martha Coakley, double speak and fraud of so many Democrats, the near unanimous repeal of the Technology Tax, and the State Legislature's "Forever" Gas Tax.  Truth be told, there were Democrats also present, who simply love Howie's hysterical daily commentary on Massachusetts politics...

Howie Carr is a major driver in collecting signatures for the "Tank the Gas Tax" Citizen Petition.  This is a first, to have taxes increase automatically like postage stamps, without revoting the increases on a yearly basis.
