I write about public policy issues because I care about the issues,
I understand the issues and what needs to be done about them.

Misusing media and ideology - MetroWest Daily News
FROM A READER:
I was half way throught the editoral "Misusing Media and Ideology" in the Milford Daily News and I stopped to  look  to see who  wrote this article because I thought it was well written and showing both  sides of the issue...and I recognized your name....hi! .... Well,  I enjoyed the article.......... I liked your explaning,  or exposing, the fact that  the 'trust fund'  for social  security which is supposed to  be in  a 'lock  box',  has already been  spent....like the cigarette tax which  was supposed to  be used for health  issues gets diverted for other pet issues....
Politicians use media to spread ideological mistruths - Fall River Herald News
Facts too often lost as opinions take their shape - Attleboro Sun Chronicle
FROM A READER:
Paul, Just wanted to let you know how timely and appropriate your article was,  “facts too often lost as opinions take their shape” . I was trying to see which way your politics lean and could not decipher at all from your article, which was a breath of fresh air.  I happen to lean pretty far one way, but both parties need to stop the politics and do what`s best for all. Thanks, JJ

FROM A READER:
I read your editorial today in the Sun Chronicle and was extremely impressed. You said a lot of things that should be common sense, but the American public has gotten so used to being spoon fed. We're constantly inundated with propaganda, but seem to have lost the ability to process it. Thanks for your insightful writing. Keep up the good work.

The 4th needs someone who is going to bring federal resources to our district that are needed to make local government administration and less costly to local tax payers. I have experience working with grants, community leaders and politicians I am an excellent negotiator and know how to make a strong appeal for public support.

Don't underestimate the importance of a $5 or $10 contribution.
