The Woburn Republican City Committee is pleased and proud to congratulate Senator-elect Scott Brown on his outstanding victory in the Special Election on Tuesday January 19th. His positive attitude and boundless energy were impressive. His tireless campaigning makes him a role model for Republican candidates running for the November elections.
To all who held signs, hosted a lawn sign, sported a bumper sticker, made phone calls or passed out literature - thank you for your efforts. Without your hard work and support we would not have won Woburn and added to the victory state-wide!
The Woburn Republican City Committee meets on the first Wednesday of the month at the Woburn Senior Center at 144 School St at 7:30 PM. All republicans are welcome to participate. All others are welcome to join us as guests.

Fratto, Candidate for State Rep, "No New Taxes"
Kara Fratto, Candidate for State Representative, pledges support against "No New Taxes"
State Representative Candidate, Kara Fratto pledges that she will not raise taxes if elected by signing the Citizens for Limited Taxation No New Taxes Pledge. “Our representatives need to represent and listen to us! We want reforms in state spending, not more taxes,” Fratto said.
Fratto believes our elected officials are raising taxes rather than living within the state’s means. In the past year, the State Legislature considered all sorts of new taxes, ultimately raising the sales tax, which passed with the support of Representative James Dwyer, the incumbent in the 30th Middlesex District. The Massachusetts Legislature is now considering a 50-cent hike in the state’s gas tax. “This has to stop. Government has to understand that real people with real budgets are footing the bill,” Fratto said.
“The sky will not fall if our taxes are not raised. We know the difference between wants and needs and now it is time for government to learn the difference. There will never be enough money for government to fund everything it wants to do, but there is already more than enough money for government to do everything it needs to do. If it is not an essential function of government, then we should not be paying for it,” said Fratto.
In November 2009, the legislature overrode the Governor’s veto, with the support of Rep. Dwyer, to give the Legislature $18.8 million in funding for its operations rather than to fund vital human service agencies. The $18.8 million was in addition to the $53 million in the regular budget that the Legislature appropriated to itself to run its operations for the year. Representative Dwyer later said in December that “government is learning to live within its means.”
In December 2009, the legislature held hearings on proposals on up to a 50-cent increase in the state’s gas tax. The electorate then learned of hundreds of thousands spent in legal fees for the investigation of former speaker Salvatore DiMasi. We also learned that hundreds of thousands of tax dollars are also being spent to defend the Treasurer’s Office to fight a lawsuit brought by a lottery vendor. This vendor alleges that it was shut out of state contracts in favor of a company that donated to Treasurer Tim Cahill’s political campaign.
“We do not need new taxes. We need to reform the spending,” Fratto said. With just under ten months to go until the November 2010 election, Fratto is putting together an organizational team. For more information, to get involved or to donate to Kara Fratto’s campaign, go to www.karafratto.com or call 781.205.4895.
