Wed, 8 Aug 2012|

Massachusetts has mailed out voter registration letters to nearly 500,000 welfare recipients, in a push sparked by a group led by former ACORN bigwigs that critics say is a naked bid to boost Democrats at the polls in November. This group behind the taxpayer-funded push it was also discovered is chaired by democratic senate candidate Elizabeth Warren’s daughter. Howie called this dirty politics at the expense of the taxpayers.

The poll question today concerns for gonna talk about here this is this is amazing story herald today the you know again the the globe says there on top of all the stories but somehow they missed this missed last. He BT -- -- based state targets 477944. Welfare recipients foreign world. And guess what. It turns out that the that the rope. That up pushed this has gotten the state to spend these hundreds of thousands of 276000. Dollars. 276000. Dollars to -- tell welfare recipients they should vote. Guess what. The group that but the push this through that sue the state or try to Europe's that never -- the -- never got -- forehead and even get the discovery the state just throwing in the towel. It's a bunch of us. -- and hoped we call poverty -- called it's called -- hopes to be most and guess who the chairman of of the most is. Elizabeth Warren's. The senate can the senate candidate said bother the democratic senate here. Is is to have a group that is that now -- Compelled to state or you know compelled Stater got the state a willing statements. I don't know for swelling or not. To want to spend 276000. Dollars to notify every welfare recipient in the state that he should he or she cannot register to vote. An average of the well -- that thing. To comply there was section eight of the national voter registration act that would be that would be where. The mass department of transitional assistance that's welfare is required to provide voter registration opportunities and assistance to public assistance applicants and -- You were receiving this letter. In the enclosed might mail in voter registration form because BTA's records show that you have recently applied for amber or receive public assistance through one or more programs. Administered by bta. Please note that PTA does not verify whether or not public assistance applicants are clients are currently registered to vote or eligible to register to vote. It's nice. So what do you what to what it means is that what this what does all about it is under the their moral order. -- from 1993. If anybody who has in the kind of via. Transaction with a kind of state agency. Has to be notified that he can register -- right. So my question is. We're all people are going to get there were thereof firearms apartments. It where they notified that where they notified when they got to play for their firearm permits that they you that they could register to vote. I think that probably the state should also be sending out sending out that these these letters to be members of the gun owners action when he. -- But when something about the welfare recipients. Giving you deem most is gonna get involved in this and tried to wide try to make sure that that. The members of the gun owners Action -- girl was Earl told about the Knights of Columbus. And -- Knights of Columbus somewhere along the line of have hooded various transactions with state government. Some point right. They get our big league Atlanta is everybody in the -- Columbus gonna get one of these letters -- it is going to be in these it to me. And by the way of the they I'd I asked I asked people that answers are these letters going out to the illegal aliens on welfare. They -- being told what they get register vote in the -- seems to know if you're on welfare we know in these two media should now as a sanctuary. She's now refugees'. A refugee from the cruel world of war. But even before she was it became a political refugee. -- on welfare which was an illegal -- so I'm gonna assume that the illegal aliens are gonna get are gonna get these messages. Our war talk talk more about this just the second but sandy what is the what is the poll questioned one of the rose. Outs thus far should Massachusetts be sending out letters to welfare recipients encouraging them to vote. No all 88%. Say -- and how the whopper -- I guess they are Elizabeth Warren supporters who like for the fact that Elizabeth Warren's getting 276000. Dollar in kind contributions. From the taxpayers of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Is that a postage paid envelope can they also vote by mail I believe they count how we check out the mural this on the polite -- mortgage text -- How we check out the mural at the old occupy site downtown is out of occupy our burqa or an occupying mask that's -- -- basket. That's why we put that's why we put it up there. We gave you go if you haven't seen it. We haven't been downtown lately quote don't check out how we card -- US and tell me what you think of but what you -- mumbled has got a Mobil's gave us some some me. Ridiculous sound -- -- was it two to the we also have the via the bleeding star David that this other. 18774694322187746943. 22 that is the toll free number of how -- -- show I you know here's. Yeah that's fine sure sure that's -- 187748. Or are you kidding of course it's great it's great. All right. You know. That he any publicity is good publicity here. So we've got a call into was Scott Brown were hoping that he's gonna call him on this season. -- and -- tax to Scott Brown to see -- she would be see what if -- and you've beaten comment on this season. He did issuer repression -- he told late partner Hillary should borrow from Harold Donnelly cape. It's like another thing you shake your head and here we go we have professor Warren's -- leading the charge at taxpayer expense to get welfare recipients out. Adding he'll fight hard for the votes -- -- -- welfare it's not about getting people out the vote it's a factor professor Warren spotters leading the charge of taxpayer expense getting out the vote for a mom. I think it's outrageous and when does it and it's. I don't I don't get it but you know here here we are here we earnestly. You know and and again I'm sure -- like this is going on in every state in the union. But if you're in Massachusetts. They recently decided that this the registry of motor vehicles. Recently decided that they could no longer for war. To notify. Any body who has driver's license in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts but their driver's license was about to expire. Now you can you can sign up to have an email sent to you but they can't afford the 44 cent stamp and they can't afford to walk put out radio a letter to you notifying you of the delights it's about to expire. How convenient how. So that means is some people you know -- I mean again you should do you should every time. Your birthday is coming up you should look at your wallet and and see if your driver's license is going to expire but some people don't do that. Right meeting you just forget the you have other other thing used it to do when your daily life. And so there eventually so some people are gonna get caught in the gonna get big. Bleeping fines and there are insurance is gonna go up. In their insurance. Is is going to go up and that provides more money to give total legislatures legislators. By the a big car insurance companies. We don't have money for. You know and then you have beyond video residency. The the -- the -- residency permits in the in the city of Boston. Which you know they say if you're securities Boston yet to do with you at the tunnel. But the the cost like four box -- through the tunnel or whatever it is. And if fury if you're resident. The if -- Reza of these Boston and you get a residency permit and you get you get the -- for forty cents. But. The permit runs out they don't tell you they don't have the money to tell you that the permit runs out. Soul you never now. So all of a sudden you know you're you're using your fast pass transponder and you've been paying forty cents a you -- and forty cents for each time you go -- to -- All of a -- -- forty by four -- dollars for every time you go through. And so instead we get a bill fur I don't know when he -- she get a bill -- 200 bucks for the don't have any money Italian but -- all. Have money. To send out to all the welfare recipients and tell them that they should get out and vote for. Well we're gonna vote for their -- welfare do you think they're gonna vote for. And and it ended wrote the group that has made it all possible being mostly it's just it's just -- far left it's. Poverty pimp group is is that shared by was but the -- -- Elizabeth Warren's father was it as if she doesn't have enough money she's raising more money than any other candidate. In the United States. Even though she's not an incumbent. Even though she's never run for office before even though she's a fraud a complete. -- leaping for a -- She's raising more money but that's not enough. Now she gets that now she gets 276000. Dollars. To what to work -- illegal aliens and other welfare recipients that they can not that they should be got they're getting registered to vote. Deem most is a group founded in the late 1990s to counter conservative think tanks. The group in May successfully sued to force base state to send out nearly 500000 voter registration cards but those on welfare cost of 276. Thousand dollars it is also -- nine other states including Ohio Pennsylvania Nevada and Louisiana and and again missed the state that the important fight. They dated even they did this this Lawson did money and get reached the discovery space -- the state just wave the white flag. Because you don't -- Because the thought it was a great idea. Brown said he supports getting those who legally registered to vote signed up at set official shouldn't do so with taxpayer dollars smells wrong and is wrong. I'm going to have to go out and work even harder. The Massachusetts lawsuit came after -- 35 year old woman went to renew her benefits state welfare officials didn't offer the opportunity to register vote. Currently this woman is you know this there's this things that this does other things of does this woman is has a rather sketchy. There's this questions about this woman and lol what they they were obviously. They just -- that you don't like what ten taxpayer lawsuit or you know -- against Marlboro cigarettes. You know you just use fine. You put and -- the paper's -- says you know what did you smoke marlboros in the you know of these years come down CO instantly at the loft apartment Wilson for. That's a way that's that's what happened here. 18774694322. Warren's campaign said let's be very equally. Republican Scott -- baseless attack on Elizabeth's daughter is ridiculous. His entire pack is built on efforts in multiple states to enforce a law passed almost twenty years ago with bipartisan support. Even the bush Justice Department files suit to enforce this provision of the law. For brown to claim this is some kind of plot against him is just bizarre Elizabeth is very proud of for potter. And she will keep fighting for middle class families across Massachusetts. Okay 1877469432218774694322978. Just a check out the yeah. Just checked out the mural that's tax that's more of your taxpayer dollars by the way and then mural. But our peace looks like Hamas member and I'm sure that's what it's meant all look like. It's just the big wink wink nudge nudge like this is my campaign. Effort by via -- was warned all know they have a lot this is a lawsuit. 207 thanks for reminding me my license expires on the 21 wide open -- they give via the day at least send your way -- notice I mean I don't think it's I don't think it's asking too much for the state this -- notice telling you when your driver's license expires or when your residency permit expires. 18774694322339. -- letter -- in fifteen different languages. You know that's an excellent point well how I mean. Like the welfare grow like the what the would be a welter and palaces or fifteen different languages. I did it certainly should be in fifteen different languages are there should be at least that it -- some something in all the language sing if you don't understand this letter because. We're so racist we've only written in English. Please please take this so that are down to your local while you with your local merchants. Where there's translators standing by. Expenses that money is no object here when it comes to treating -- illegal aliens like the like the privileged. Privileged. People that they are 18774694322. 617. Well from what I'm told Patrick it didn't have anything to do with us that that this is a this is the the most thing which is. So it -- Ward's -- it was in this and and then up Patrick they weren't quite the fight it but then they relate that is the most group was a bunch of moon maps. The senate. How when these people for let's let's settle up and let's spend some more taxpayer dollars to get the word out the hippies that Tony. What appeared these and Tony uncle Omar don't call them that they can bad that they. Should be registering the vote. Apparently in they put the secretary of State's. Signet two. Phone number on here the one we get about every ever ever before every election they have -- you got a problem call this number at its fort -- -- it's 1804 twos or sixty vote. -- it is yeah. -- 180462.

Is just like -- I I didn't get my. We pick and recharged. So valid convert the secretary of State's office in two way in into -- branch office of the PTA transitional assistance. 18 this is it is in this fine kettle of fish on this nice summer day 18774694322. Just when you buy theater and everything. Dennis you're next with powered car go ahead than us. -- -- don't think this could be found to complain that PDT it was not giving. Good advice so many value of. -- -- I don't think he motor vulnerable. Who were walk Qualls for the. Ali also you know -- Don't we have a mutual friend years ago that. Got into a lot of trouble for giving that -- description of terrorists attire. Yes yes that would be me yes. -- They're calling them but -- I you know -- nothing about what it looks like I just point out yeah I ask you -- -- -- how we card by US and you tell me what it looks like what what the attire looks like that's. I'd say it is very little difference between pajamas and a towel. They you know Dennis have you ever seen -- kids I mean that's I know what they're talking about the stock goalies you know what the the you know little feet the you know the feet are all covered up and everything. But I've never seen a pair of kid's pajamas first not least that have a mask over the mouth have you know. Very Yasser Arafat had. -- it's. Correct. Correct maybe these are key maybe maybe these are open its status. 187746943221877694322. 775. WTO. What what the -- -- all the money that they charge licenses well remember Jerry Williams and Williamson and citizens for limited taxation along time ago. She tried to file speak and personal lawsuits they file a lawsuit against the state saying that the mistake and keep raising via. The the lefties that they're charged registry more vehicles because under the state constitution the the state agencies are we supposed would charge the cast of the actual service and then make a profit but that was quick. Scores you can. Well -- beat us so that next group. Probably. Tens of millions of dollars that they may in quote unquote profit. Goes to support the these bust out lawyers judges and me 130000. Dollars for part time. Aren't there you're next with how we cargo ahead Arthur. Well first of all before -- -- my portable CDC cards. Are pretty good that we -- that put up Jesus Christ everywhere but we -- of the terrorists who are pretty good. Yes it. It's that mom says it's not a terrorist that aren't there we gonna have to get that sound cuts mumbled listing it's not a it's not a terrorist it just looks like. It looks like a terror Starr. Yeah I guard made its assault that pretty vivid -- make it's that even questioned whether really did. And that by the way I think your camera caught the -- judges when you filed under your job so yeah Bobby you know -- you -- -- the way you can respect. In the halls of justice the only justices involved you know I don't let me make a -- I -- make a lot of money now but you know why I'm -- -- I wanna be and it's it's damaged my career and he a kangaroo court decision. Well way to go out there at well it can't -- it it's a situation where they should Wear it at any other -- -- They're little avail you -- political way you wanted to -- And your rights away but that's -- -- -- -- -- all of a private -- but getting back but getting back to those that acorn. And being close they're -- the F word you don't nemesis. Because it should be demons. It's -- secular well that's what I could probably couldn't put the big fight when they've disbanded or on. Because democratic activists and opinion problem people go to get register where they register or not. Right. I know. And again I mention his very briefly yesterday but you know they always the Democrats always say -- you know the Republicans are paranoid. The conservatives are paranoid there's no such thing as a voter fraud it's going on and on -- very minor scale. But but he here's the facts in -- honest they've done studies in in ma'am Minnesota. -- that the election that that -- that moon back creek. Slog. Al Franken was elected by 312. Votes. A 100989. Convicted felons voted in that election that they found so 4099. That's against the law in the state of Minnesota not do we think that may not do you do you think that's positive now those who want those convicted felons vote or did they vote for the Republican or did they vote for Al Franken. Who was promising a more more more welfare. We know how you. What do you think they would vote for people who worked out what parts. -- Every vote counts how many times we've been taught that every one of these illegal aliens who gets the vote ever wanna be -- about the votes camp pulls out of all of a taxpayer. Suspect you're right there. That's what I'm telling people might get out the vote to get rid of of tribal. And thanks for Leah thanks for the call Arthur I wanna know when the letters are going out to the gun owners actually. 1877469432218774694322. I'm Howie -- 187746943227. Anyone says on the polite mortgage text lines. However I don't wanna spend money to remind people to renew their licenses that is not my problem personal responsibility. -- -- I see your point theoretically but it is it is the stayed really doing it because of personal responsibility -- the state is the state stopping it will reminders to peoples so that they won't renew their license and they won't be given. Very expensive citations and their era and they'll have a surcharge double fence. Which will enable the insurance company to charge more money which will give the insurance companies more money to give to the soul -- on Beacon Hill. You know any if they're going to if they're going to worked. -- EBT card recipients. Illegal alien students. Only. Phone -- I'm disabled disability collecting. Lay abouts. If they're -- a lot at -- going to alert them to the process to the process of voting so that they get higher benefits for it in their slot. Then how about a about a break from the taxpayers. About a break how about allowing the taxpayer to what to get a heads up. 1877469432218774694322. I heard a couple politicians didn't get those didn't get those registry in the east Austin didn't get -- You know one notices that there. That there residency permits were expiring -- they ran up a couple of thousand box perhaps they were allowed to while be they were allowed to have to wide have their ride their extra tabs -- The average a citizen the average judge Joseph six pack. -- -- -- Yes to pay because it's the state didn't bother to alerting them. It's more important to alerting users Tony -- right to vote emotion -- have a right to vote it's important to alerted that she does the -- -- you're next with how we cargo ahead Paris. Their parents and -- They welcome on the topic of election -- it would all voter fraud why is that election fraud has so many ethical. And it and it always switchers are not really reflected in the description. Of the -- -- the words voter fraud we got to bought -- we gotta talk about election fraud like talk about the break. -- you can make it sound. Day. You can say gay marriage -- elect a lawyer Robert -- Is encouraged so people that have a lighter or -- -- a reflection of -- part of this guy yes Scott Brown. Yeah that there's this there's testosterone in search of testicles by god when grandpa. Would you please explain to. That this election is -- history there is no way it's getting -- of the democratic candidate can win this election. And EX ample pitchers right now. Are exactly so mobile but there are so many more of that list or the alt and a minute ago. Beijing something about this NBA court yet it's set to meet that your people are so stupid and in the dark. Not to note that. Not only is -- not been this and that states that strength that because. It's the -- it has Portland Maine resident at the beginning until now and it's got 543. Separate independent. It's cold it's cold and we. Does what is called the new wing -- in the united for justice that's that that's a group with the most Elizabeth Warren spotter runs this group called the most and then there's these acorn group. Which is the wing -- united for justice. It's led by three former leaders of equal association of community organizers for reform now. That's great reform now -- that's a good way to put it thanks for call for our. 18774694322. Let's -- 617 Howard Stern was going crazy about the anti Romney at where the blame them for murdering that woman when you've lost Howard Stern. We of that cut that -- appear apparently this that we put it in the intro that thought. Apparently this woman got initiation came as she was diagnosed with cancer five years after her husband lost the job. -- you know whenever you -- -- left left Bain he was definitely gone by 2006 because he was running for governor. Right in Massachusetts. And that's when she was diagnosed five years after he was laid off. After the defy the husband was laid off now what turned out the woman had health insurance at a wrong job we have the cut with the cuts in the so the way. Leon on the surface it seems pretty outrageous to blame Mitt Romney for the death of this woman that sucked pretty outrageous claim to what's going on here. It does when you dig deeper here wolf because this ad makes it sound like. This woman passed away shortly after Bain Capital closed down the steel plant where her husband worked but in reality she passed away five years after it closed. And the former steelworker in this out I spoke to him on the phone today and he said that during some of that time. His wife had insurance through her employer so wolf this is a heart wrenching story but it's not accurate. Uncle Tom's cabin was heart wrenching story but of course it wasn't novel. Pat you're next with Howie Carr go ahead pat to. I always had a classic example adult basket the way have a good story exactly exactly. -- you know you're preparing its if they can use taxpayer money to drag people out there -- out is that EEQ Serbia. That we should -- these taxpayer money but by alcoholic beverages in Canada institute let's keep that in there of the election date. I -- I think they're gonna they're gonna use there that we don't have to worry about having a state program for that pat is you know what we wouldn't be in the state wouldn't be able to do what is effectively is the BT card recipients will be able to -- You know so one just said to -- that you know Leo one of things that was it was considered as a form. To prevent these people from selling their cars selling their BT cards every month. Was to put their picture on the cards or you sold it to somebody -- it -- like you -- might be you know somebody might say no -- gonna take the card. But of course they said. That's too expensive. That's too expensive -- a couple of bucks to put a picture on each card but some. Now somehow there's 270000. Dollars just sit around to let the to let the -- know that they they should be registering to vote. Don't enable it or democratic votes or on the path. As. A. I know that it's really funny what pelican you're doors up laugh about it at some you know. Absolutely I'd put this up on FaceBook without. Spectators at -- Thanks for the call that. 1877469432218774694322. And I forgot I forgot all about that the the thing about. You're right it Ingrid the only one -- remembered. Was -- two years ago. When they wanted to what they wanted to conduct. Background checks on everybody who plight for -- to make sure they were US citizen again -- everybody's picked up their hands all right. That'll cause so much at all costs and X. And box. You know first month welfare check is what.
