What was Your Reaction to Presiden't Obama's Speech in Arizona
Audio
Thu, 13 Jan 2011
When President Obama took the podium at Wednesday night's memorial service in Tucson, Ariz., he was greeted with the unbridled excitement of a college campus embracing their commander in chief. Cheers and screams and hoots continued even after he asked for people to sit down. As he started his eulogy, with the somber words, "To the families of those we've lost," voices still cheered and at least three people shouted out, "We love you!" It was not the way most memorial services usually kick off. What did you think of the audience reaction to Obama's speech last night?

Who should be responsible for Clearing Snow from Sidewalks?
Audio
Wed, 12 Jan 2011
A recent ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court makes it easier for people injured on snow covered walkways to successfully sue those property owners who don’t clear snow from walking surfaces. Winter is here and so are slippery sidewalks, parking lots and walkways. Previously, Massachusetts courts have ruled that a property owner cannot be held liable if someone is injured walking on new or what courts have called “natural” snow. Instead, owners can be held liable if someone walks over the natural snow and then another person falls down while walking on the same area of snow, called “unnatural” snow by the courts.

So less -- we're talking about in the Steve for illegal immigrants and we get a call. -- the guy one of the the guy that called in said hate. Eddie Markey is my congressman and he is for global all this global warming stuff and cap and trade. He's for amnesty for illegal immigrants. There's no way I can vote Freddie marquis again. Is anyone running against him and I said yeah there's there's a good guy I think there's a good guy running it doctor Jerry Dombrowski and lo and behold during the news -- who called -- one of -- top pop along with us for a few minutes and I said sure let's do it. Joining us is a candidate running in the what congressional district. The seventh congressional district against longtime congressman Fast Eddie Markey. Who basically doesn't even live here in Massachusetts and hasn't for a long time and has voted. I mean he makes much Barack Obama look like a moderate in his voting patents. And folks have been saying is anyone running against them and yet we have the guy right here talked to -- Dombrowski how are -- doctor.
On very well thank you mr. Manning for inviting you want.
Well I it's I think it's really smart to jump on and talk to some folks so. Give us give us your quick background or are you from around here -- you lived tell us about yourself quickly.
Yeah I grew up in Massachusetts. Pretty much lived in Woburn Massachusetts all my life. At least forty something years of the got to undergraduate degrees from state colleges in Massachusetts and a doctorate degree in chiropractic from. -- San Jose California.
So your chiropractor. Is. So you get you help people get the kinks out. Soon or you get -- Ready yet you thinking get the kinks out of about what's been going on in Washington if we elect you.
Absolutely won't do my best that's been at least you know one I go well stands for white liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
So you're running against Eddie Markey is are there any other candidates in the Republican primary do you have they got clear shot here.
I have a clear shot great as of right now.
So this is a one on one battle. Doctor Jerry Dombrowski against Eddie Markey in the seventh district if Eddie -- your congressmen. You're actually gonna get a chance to vote for somebody else this time around. -- so tell me -- different than any -- what would the three things are folks listening to the Charlie Manning John WRKO wanna know we know Eddie Markey for amnesty for illegal immigrants are you.
Not indeed it's -- a look at the award itself what is illegal means against the law. And -- We're supposed to be a nation outlaws. So you can't just more. Illegal immigrants and to give them amnesty. -- I would have to say if all of these countries that want us to have open borders well they do the same thank.
Not a bad idea -- OK so Eddie Markey is for amnesty for all the illegal immigrants doctor Jerry Dombrowski his opponents against it. How about to happen trade or cap and tax wanted to meet your. Pieces of legislation that Eddie Markey has pushed through the house this year thankfully it looks like it. It's gonna be held up in the Senate because we were smart enough to elect Scott Brown. Is this global warming. Measure. Called cap and trade or cap and tax. Eddie Markey is the chief sponsor of it this is his number one legislative priority how to Stockton Jerry Dombrowski vote on that.
I vote against -- carpentry I don't believe in any legislation. That will destroy American jobs and national security by. Decreasing our economic security. And I believe cap and trade -- all work on.
And finally we just had the big health care vote in Washington. Eddie Markey of course voted for -- this government takeover of our healthcare system. In fact win we win are caught when our listeners. Were calling Eddie Markey office during the debate.
On and on and.
Health care. They called us back and said you know week called congressman -- office. -- his people just hung up on us they wouldn't even let us express our opinion the congressman -- I guess he didn't care. Congressman Markey didn't care about listening to the people. He voted for the big health care bill would you have voted for. It so that's three pretty big differences between you and incumbent seventh district congressman Ed Markey.
There are there but there's all all lot of differences and he writes legislation. He's also part of the energy independence problem. And he's ordered him to bill also prevent the American people from developing local 115. Billion barrels of oil over 635. Cubic. Trillion cubic feet of natural gas. But Obama is saying that or we're gonna look into throwing well how can you throw away and our keys just put brought up to build let's -- you can't drill in these places tournament the national preserves.
Well those haven't passed yet though have day. Two years two years so they are ready in law. There already in law unbelievable all right so health care cap and tax. In this the for a legal immigrants. Help me win you're out there campaigning and I'm sure you get now meeting people. What's the reaction. The happy with congressman Ed Markey or do you think -- like to see some change.
What steps that they've -- wants to change he's been there for 34 years and the long years yep everything that is wrong with this country. Has his fingerprints on it from. Everything from health care. To cap and trade to. Preventing the American people from rowing for our natural resources. He's part. Actually -- part of the bill for a cash for clunkers. Eight everything that everything that is costing. You and our families money. In taxes is is. Is all he's writing all of that stuff but we'll be a little bit under the radar. Are -- getting big recognition and then everybody pointing the finger and saying you know what he was part of the sub prime mortgage with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. When he was on the house financial services committee chairman.
one of the things we've talked a lot about on the show because of the economy being in in sets desperate shape in the need for job creation. Is the hacks that the health care bill just put on. All of the medical device companies in Massachusetts. You have to 45000. People are employed there's over 200 companies in this industry. Where one of the leaders in our country and in the world it's one of the few segments of our economy that seems to be growing. In now and now they're putting this tax on that. Folks in the industry say is going to really hurt the industry -- the creation of these new jobs. How did the -- vote on the on the tax for. The medical. Device industry.
Those are -- note be if he voted yes or that helped build it also came with that act that's and it raised. My understanding is it's raised its gonna raise half a trillion dollars in taxes. And when you raise the taxes on tape of the medical device content I mean. We -- does that word is that -- two companies when they get tax where does the money. And up coming from corporations don't pay taxes you'll and I table we'll take a look at your electric bill your cable belt. -- all your other bills. You get the sales tax bill pay the taxes we pay the taxes or -- when their price of operations go -- We're the ones who pay it. Marquis doesn't understand that because he went from college right into. Public service so I guess as a state senator state -- personal.
State representative I believe.
so he didn't know what it's like to be in the business world. Like some of your listeners and I've been in private practice.
Well he's never really worked for a living in the private sector he's never had a had a balance but he role he never knew what it was like to put in the forty hour work week that all of us but in. Because he's never done that he went right from college into the state legislature in from the state legislature to congress. So he's just been in politics all his life what are your what's your background now do you have your own practice doctor Dombrowski.
Yes of their practice for eleven years. Woburn Massachusetts.
And you know what it's like every week to meet the payroll your practice.
If they do I know what it's like when your overhead goes up and you have to raise your taxes when the cost of doing business goes up to two. Federal or state taxes. You have to pass that on Ortiz and businesses are there to make a profit because you've got overhead and Turkey apparently doesn't understand that when he wrote cap and trade when he wrote the energy. Bills that prevent the American people phone developing. Oral -- reserves. It'll understand any of that is what into. -- what we need to pay for all of these illegal but we want I want a while in this country. And the only way they're gonna do what is they have actually me in the businesses in this country.
Well we really appreciate you coming online and I think it's great if you hear us talking about Ed Markey are people have questions about what's going on with Ed Markey. Will tell them now that there's a good candidate out there doctor Jerry Tim -- who's running against. Ed Markey. And that people are gonna have a real choice this time in the seventh district and as the campaign heats up -- he committed sit with us and take questions from. From the callers and I'm sure we won't be like Eddie Markey -- office was during the health care -- we won't hang up on you. If you call in with a question or opinion right doctor.
Yep that -- funny because now what you said all as -- been out there on the campaign trail a lot of people come out to me if that guy just called their yesterday. And they hung up on me or. They -- called up and asked about the health care bill and they. Brushed Leo Laporte deflected the questions started talking about something else it's just it's so -- funny to hear it I mean.
Well when you have been in their 34 years and basically you don't even live in the district anymore I mean he doesn't. He doesn't own -- house he isn't back here every weekend is he.
Now my understanding is from people like I met somebody who lives in his or live in -- the supported neighborhood that. He's supposedly lived in and -- all it is is just the Rohm and his parents house and I don't know the console owner of the war. Whether he audit out I mean at no point 01 but everybody complained that he doesn't know what's going on because he's never here.
He's never hear nobody overseas and he's never read any events. He never gets out there and talks of the people and during the most important debate in the last several years. When the people the seventh district called his office and said gee I'd love to -- to express my opinion to congressman Markey about the health care bill. He had the beads that we paid for with our tax dollars paying up on them that's all you need to know about eighty marquee.
That's about I think yeah we'll tell you there to serve the people.
Well keep going out there to meet and people keep talking about the issues and I think people give you a fair hearing this year this is the year I think people are gonna really look for alternatives. In if you get out there and work hard and run a good campaign I think he got a shot.
You know well thank you very much and not only leave the well web sites were people actually go and take a look at more information. The campaign web site is cherry GE RRY. 0010. Dot com.
2010. So Jerry 2010. Gerry with a G 2000 intend dot com. And they can go there and learn more about you any position on the issues.
Don't you -- volunteer you can donate of the campaign. As you know what's gonna cost money he's.
he'll have all the money because all the lobbyists have been giving him donations -- 34 years guilt. You you know -- if if you could by the election he'd do it you know what I don't think that's gonna happen this time.
I think the people are angry and setup and off. So we need something different.
Well thanks for calling and dial will have you want to come in any time and on the take some questions in the voters and it's fun to have you want. Talk to Jerry Dombrowski the Republican candidate the challenger. To Ed Markey in the seventh district this time people are gonna have a choice thanks -- us.
Thank you very much as we don't have a good after the.
6172666860. -- number. There are candidates out there there are people that are out they -- Clinton and on the line running here's a guy that has not. Is a doctor he has his own practice he doesn't have to do this. But -- here is enough school challenge someone like Eddie Markey and I think he deserves your support if you live in the seventh district you see him out there. Shake is handed him a pat on the back and -- on the go for it because that's what we need this year we need challengers that's the way we've got to do it.
