PRESS RELEASE:

THE IRISH AMERICAN REPUBLICANS
ENDORSE STATE SENATOR SCOTT BROWN
FOR UNITED STATES SENATE

The Irish American Republicans, a 130-year old coalition of Irish Americans in the Republican Party, have enthusiastically endorsed State Senator Scott Brown, to be elected as the next US Senator from Massachusetts, in the special election scheduled for January 19th.

"Scott Brown is a respected Irish American legislator, whose family roots go back to County Sligo in Ireland. He is a principled and successful leader, who will help to preserve our freedoms, defend our country, lower our taxes, and represent the best tradition of Massachusetts as an independent and informed voice in the United States Senate," stated Thomas Mason of Lakeville, former General Counsel of the Massachusetts Republican Party, and Chair of the Irish American Republicans of Massachusetts.

"It is important that Massachusetts elect Scott Brown to the United States Senate. Scott Brown has an excellent record of public service and is a real patriot," added Mason, "Scott Brown will vigorously oppose the looming fiscal and health care disaster of 'Obamacare.' Scott's opponent, Martha Coakley, has a sloppy record as a politician who has favored criminals instead of the victims. Her tenure as Massachusetts Attorney General has been sadly embarrassing."

"The Irish American Republicans are proud to endorse Scott Brown, for the US Senate," stated IAR National Chairman Grant Lally. "In these dangerous times, we need a responsible leader like Senator Scott Brown. He knows the dangers in this world, is a serious public servant, and is strongly committed to fiscal responsibility in government. Unlike his clueless opponent, Scott Brown will bring distinction to Massachusetts in the US Senate."

"We are urging all our members to volunteer in Massachusetts, make calls to voters, and contribute to Scott Brown's campaign," concluded Lally, "The stakes for America are too high to sit back. Scott Brown is a great Irish American and a true patriot, and we need him in the US Senate.”

The Irish American Republicans were founded in 1880, and are a group of Irish Americans and those interested in Ireland-US relations and the Irish Peace Process, dedicated to supporting principled and responsible leaders for elected office.

Republican Thuggery?
By Brian McCarthy, a New York City-based attorney
12/06/00

After staying up all night watching the careening election returns, I returned to my law practice on November 8 in New York City representing mainly union members in labor, employment, and civil-rights matters. As the post-election days mounted and the Democrats' ground troops set up camp in Florida, my sense of helplessness here in New York City grew. My calling came through an e-mail seeking attorneys to help the Republican effort in the Florida Re-Recount. I arrived in Miami on Sunday, November 19.
