Another Note from the road in Massachusetts
Road Report from Ted Chiodo:
10-24-2006: This afternoon John Kerry traveled to Medford City Hall to meet with Massachusetts mayors including Worcester Mayor and Lt. Governor candidate Tim Murray.
There was a small crowd gathered to greet JK and the mayors as they arrived.
<!-more->
Medford Mayor Michael J. McGlynn had arranged a gathering of local mayors to discuss the pressing issues of crime and basic services which being under funded by the current Republican administrations in Washington and Beacon Hill. 
All of the Mayors have had to cut cops and firemen in the face of growing rates of methamphetamine use and crime because of tax-cuts for the wealthy.
John Kerry began the meeting by asking the mayors and state representatives, “When is the last time any of you met with the governor?” The answer was startling. Not one single mayor had had a meeting with Mitt Romney this year. The most recent meeting that was recounted took place two years ago.
To this JK asked, “How can you hope to govern this state if you haven’t met with anyone whose day-to-day job is governing the state’s cities?” 
They all agreed that we need a change in America, we need cops on the street and we need a democratic majority that will fully fund crime prevention!
After the meeting, we were off to our next event of the day.
Mahalo!

You need a blog post on the 1M to the DSCC/DCCC so that the netroots can check in with a big thank you.
I’ll start the ball rolling. THANK YOU!
Get on the horn to that lump of lethargy, Marty Meehan and tell him that being a rep in the majority is a hell of a lot better than being a Senator in the minority.
John,
Check the blog post which immediately follows, JK on the blogs. It mentions the $1m plus a few other items that you may want to comment on.
I just deleted everything I wrote. Explain, everyone you met has not been in the honor of meeting someone??? I may say I have not met you???
