Give us a call when you major decision and -- major decision.

I have made bad decision -- weak -- very and we think we need to have the resources in place. The F supports seemed to be there at the energy it is always there might -- on board. And slowly pull the trigger today how much candidate to prevented if people attempt congressional district in congress.

And how about Bob have -- this is have you spoken to him did you tell visual work tell by your decision.

I certainly did Bob friendly ticket yeah I need to be a state senator I called him last night one night reached my final decision. The pull the trigger today we had a good conversation ought to go through on prop -- yet to make it long decision based the article on timetable on his own. His own circumstances. And I've made my decision not knowing -- to have -- primary will be and it not. Not Elliott who was a fourteen year look on governor -- face on the scene and -- it feels to me like it's time for a fresh face in Washington and then the issues that I care most about immigration reform. Real healthcare reform supporting the military action saying no -- like. -- civilian trials that the president wants to give terrorists the things like -- rationally about out of the bank that people talking to me about. A best serve -- trying to win the seat in Washington and so augment the -- the primary apartment in the matter at mr. bell on is there are not.

How about that Jo Malone -- have you spoken to him.

I have like July 1 the processor reached out to. All the other four on the name that have floated out either in around thinking about it every so at all for them out. Common courtesy. At a party courtesy spoke double -- I think twice -- seem to be. A bit behind the curve I guess when -- in the process he has said except Saturday morning diploma. Republican county function that he was probably a month away from deciding and I didn't know how to interpret but it certainly have certainly ethernet to the rate at any time you -- to defeat. Think TS I think offer I'm running an RA and people are not running against fellow Republicans are against an incumbent not running for something. A right to bring my values and my issues to watch them. And -- although it's part of up political strategy and who they are -- part of the almost irrelevant because I'm trying to connect the bloated it somewhat like Java and peeling it your. Instead of sitting before one prospective employees sitting before. 400000 prospective employees and you're in that job interview I don't think it appropriate to talk about the other candidate. And that's lifestyle I didn't do it. What do you do. Well we -- was zero because we can't transfer our state campaign account. From -- from the -- wrap up until. The federal count so when you announce you start to -- on that's going to be something that if I have a primary are don't have a primary will play out -- But we start hydrating this week and then. That's one other thing that started to do going through this process. I've had a lot of people look as Bob pebble and has unsure and others have had saying if you use something if you take the leap forward I'll help you. In over the years to save those names and -- develop those relationships and so. That's why don't we go through this process that takes a -- to is that you contact those people on. The meditate delete built faced forward will they be radio and -- tell me that they will be -- feel really confident Ali about -- their resources and I'm gonna need. And having their grassroots support which charity have I have a tremendous we're gonna raise.

You don't you think he'll be our running its bill Delahunt --

I thought initially but as more time goes by it makes more public statements he said and they kick back times that led to keep making a decision in March. It doesn't appear to be fundraising he didn't have any town hall meeting last year he doesn't. I don't know all mellow but he doesn't seem to be engaged in media representation of the district their constituent services so I don't know I'll. I'll either way anywhere and everywhere and at the winner and I don't really really positive about that.

18774694322. Witnesses representative Jeff carries a Republican from CN which has been on the show many times mainly speaking about that. Immigration issues and did he see it an ardent foe of illegal immigration and now he's running for congress in the tenth congressional district that's the South Shore Cape and Islands. -- 18774694322. -- a couple of calls with representative Jeff Perry. Donald your next with Howie Carr and representative Jeff Perry go ahead Donald.

Italian -- from my questions for it just is do you firmly against that cape wind project because Scott -- or especially against that. He did it it makes sense from an economic standpoint or. The game if there's gonna do to Nantucket Sound to be taken a position on that Jeff.

I have taken a position of this state representative and it took a position that all they get a candidate for congress and it happened to be like stop round that's. It's the wrong place at the wrong time at a cost too much you know. One of the things people talk to me about on the well I'm talking to them it in the community and now on the campaign trail that -- about the cost of living here in Massachusetts and never attempt district. We have some high ecological -- and Larry and in the country not only in Massachusetts and what they -- being proposed between K limit and start it would double. In many cases the cost of electricity provided to that section of the -- itself. It doesn't make sense I'm -- for renewable energy at all for a small project. Perhaps we'll get a lot of the map -- in the very shadow or further offshore but it makes no sense to me to put an industrial and farm in the middle are pristine Nantucket Sound and double the energy -- can't support.

Thanks for the call Donald 18774694322. Dave your next with Howie Carr and state representative Jeff Perry who has just announced -- his should have bid for congress as a Republican against bill bell hunter or some other Democrat depend on what dog thoughts go ahead Dave.

I call you don't should represent -- Mexico but -- They are public at all knowing nothing about you but being a mass representative and of the best cheap Biggio impasse that. Get background I get in terms of military experience right.

Yes the idea out of high school I want into the army reserve and also served later in the army National Guard though little did. Ballistic first and I started as a combat engineer and my -- strange to administration financed.

Well I would I would play that up now how old beat you made in a position where deep marine corps comment got just gonna actually do one thing. Regarding gays in the military and Barney Frank is -- to do another. If you replied right now if you had to make a decision. Which support homosexual rising the marine -- like they're like they plan to do or would you go with the -- dust that you won't believe things evolve and how.

And ask -- a loaded question Dave I mean a -- side here but war what did you just phrase are you would favor of don't ask don't tell or not.

And make people last question that they pray that they want to. You know congress get there it knows then there have been to a lot of things they had no business into article one section and the constitution credit limit the our congress. And what I would like to see -- that the military leaders in this case if that the comment until that of the Marines are well merited -- should be you want making decisions about. Who is qualified to serve who's not qualified -- members of congress to quite frankly know very little while the military in many cases. Shouldn't be making those decisions I'd rather leave that decision up to the experts.

So where you you're against the.

It -- in our personal level I think that dumb -- Alltel has worked. And I think that the policy we should probably --

Okay thanks -- Dan your next with Howie Carr and stay representative now congressional candidate Jeff -- go ahead --

That's not a -- can't server would topple a politician direct answer but not. But I government disenfranchised voter and I really feel that you know bush was against immigration to do it really it's just all rhetoric nothing ever changes are.

Bush bush wasn't against immigration he would say he was one of -- he was one of the guys portion of what Ted Kennedy and John McCain.

Other Republicans have the chance you know they were embedded NN that they've done very little you know there's very little bit -- and Republican or Democrat. This is there and I don't know -- you run a very real world took part in any way they eat what they say they're gonna do well exactly actually changes.

Well you know you and I asked a question the end. You wanna ask a question and I doubt it. Okay you're not answering asking a question thanks stand now rod you're next with how we -- had to be a very quickly Iran.

Yes yes I wanted to know what that proposal is that he's not in favor of state where much of the project it. A bit off -- back I'll give you the -- with the beautiful people legally all progressive renewable.

I know this is his night that this is his night to shine no --

But a big question now is it. Could it specifically giving what nuclear renewable. Coal oil gas. -- it that will provide just that much if not more. Energy -- Cape -- Edit any dictate what -- it will provide it all.

Terms -- the solution to the energy reliability and they -- generation problem on the gave it to convert. He -- all will play what you gonna cut in output clean burning natural gas I've been working. On the at the state level for several years -- getting closer and closer to its way to way to do it. These trees be powerful environmental -- by getting rid of the dirty oil. And going to natural gas we increased the revenues to the local upper cape community because the -- industrial equipment. Quite frankly we would decrease our. Reliant on fossil fuel oil.

out yeah I got all to write their Jeff four out of time thank you with us good luck in the campaign will be speaking to you again as the year goes by. I'm our car.
