Thursday, September 6, 2012
(EDITOR'S NOTE: The following was submitted by Don Siriani.) State Sen. Susan Fargo (D-Lincoln) recently named Joe Kearns Goodwin of Concord as her pick to succeed her as the Third Middlesex District’s voice in the Massachusetts State Senate. Fargo, who has served 16 years as State Senator, noted that Goodwin has demonstrated a sincere commitment to, and concern for, the residents of the Third Middlesex District throughout his campaign. “To be effective, a senator must listen, learn and lead and that is what I have done throughout my time in the Legislature. I have listened to each of the candidates in this race, I've learned how they evaluate the responsibilities of this office and how they treat voters, and that is why I am proud to …

Candidates say they are ready to take on Ed Markey.
A trio of Republicans in the new fifth district are vying for the opportunity to challenge Ed Markey for his long-held seat in congress. Voters heading to the polls for Thursday's primary in the new district will see three names on the ballot for the Republican nomination: Tom Tierney, Frank Addivinola and Jeff Semon. Each of the three wants the chance to topple Ed Markey, a Democrat from Malden. It's a tall task -- Markey has been elected to 18 consecutive terms and has never won by less than 28 points. But his district has been re-aligned since his last election in 2010, and it has added Southborough, Ashland, Holliston, Sherborn, most of Sudbury and about half of Cambridge. The district shuffle could create an opportunity for whichever …

Sudbury resident Don Chauls asks vandals to leave election signs in homeowners' yards.

Tuesday, September 4, 2012
Another election time is upon us. Signs for the candidates of both parties have begun to proliferate on the yards of many Sudbury residents. Although a few folks might not like to see their quiet streets become places to visibly ‘shout’ the name of a contender for a state or national position, this is the meaning of freedom of speech. Propagating the names of candidates in this and other ways is democracy in action, one of the crucial ways of being American. During the last election season, in 2010, vandals stole or destroyed 43 yard signs belonging to Democratic candidates. Neither the Sudbury police nor the homeowners from whose yards those signs were stolen were able to identify the culprits. Presumably, they do their dirty business in…

I open my refrigerator to stare down last week’s meatloaf. I sniff. Is it still edible? It was good last week but I’m so tired of leftovers. That’s the State Senate race. Folks are endorsing leftovers because they were good 20 years ago. Five Democratic candidates include three fresh entrees, but there’s not enough shelf space. Let’s clear out some leftovers and make room for the new candidates. Joe Kearns Goodwin, Alex Buck and Mara Dolan deserve a place in the future of the Democratic Party. Joe Kearns Goodwin is my strong recommendation among these new and capable candidates. Brian Hart 26 Hilltop Drive Bedford, MA 01730

Does living in a Democratic state mean you can’t go public about being pro-life?
When my 18-year-old daughter arrived home for spring break in March of 2012, she made an Acton bucket list of sorts. At the top of Jackie’s list: go to Town Hall to register to vote. This coming November, she’ll make the trek from Chestnut Hill to the RJ Grey Junior High gym to cast her first ballot. Jackie won’t be at the dinner table participating in “election talk” with her political-junkie dad this fall. She won’t be at the high school listening to Mary Price Maddox explain the complexities of the issues. But I have no doubt that she’ll be paying attention to the messages put forth by both the Democrats and the Republicans who hope to win her vote. I am confident that my daughter will be able to discern most of the differences between…
