By Christine Morabito – August, 2011 On March 23, 2010 President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the most far-reaching piece of legislation ever concocted. With the budget crisis taking center stage, we can lose sight of the danger looming just around the corner—the full implementation of Obamacare in 2014. […]
by Christine Morabito (July, 2011) Senator Marco Rubio’s office has a message for the Tea Party: “Stay active and stay engaged.” This was just one of the many statements of support received by a delegation of Massachusetts Tea Party members during a recent visit to Washington. Our goal was to meet with influential legislators and […]
By: Christine Morabito (June, 2011) Merrimack Valley Tea Party After we elected our first black president, I recall Rush Limbaugh correcting a caller who predicted that henceforth, liberals would finally stop playing the race card. Rush disagreed, arguing that race relations would worsen, not improve. In Limbaugh’s opinion, you would now be unable […]
By: Christine Morabito – May, 2011 Massachusetts Tea Party groups celebrated Tax Day with events designed to celebrate their unsung hero–the taxpayer. Events began on April 15 with the third annual Tax Day Tea Party rally on the Boston Common where special guest Governor Tim Pawlenty drew about 500 people. Just after the rally began […]

By: Christine Morabito – April, 2011 The giant CITGO sign looming over Fenway Park is one of the most recognized landmarks in Boston. But what it symbolizes is as controversial as when the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees. We have all seen the Citizens Energy commercials where former Congressman Joseph Kennedy […]
By: Christine Morabito – March, 2011 It was worth the bullying and name-calling we endured over the last 2 years to finally bring us to this point. How refreshing it is to be appreciated for the countless hours and sleepless nights spent saving our country from those who wish to radically transform it. At this […]
Greater Boston Tea Party President Demands Apology By: Christine Morabito, February, 2011 The Tea Party and conservative talk radio survived another unwarranted character assault after last month’s horrific shooting rampage in Arizona. While conservatives prayed for our country, others cast stones. There will always be unscrupulous opportunists who attempt to advance their political agenda at every turn. But, to politicize […]
By: Christine Morabito – January, 2011 Four years ago House Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised to “drain the swamp” of political corruption in our Nation’s Capital. A difficult task–especially for someone wallowing in her own scandalous ooze, accused of using military aircraft for her private and leisure travel. Not only did she break her promise, but […]
By: Christine Morabito – December, 2010 I love classic films, but the one that always makes my skin crawl is the 1968 cult classic, “Night of the Living Dead.” I could not help noticing the eerie parallels between this film and the Lame Duck Congress, recently referred to as the Zombie Congress. These soon to […]
By: Christine Morabito – November, 2010 I write this column with a heavy heart as conservatives across the state begin a painful recovery process. I won’t pretend that I’m not incredibly disappointed in the Massachusetts election results and just as surprised. But, the way I see it, we have two choices: to stick our head […]
By: Christine Morabito – October, 2010 I’m absolutely humbled by the Tea Party and what they have been able to accomplish over the past 18 months. Not bad for a haphazard group of disaffected citizens who have been called irrelevant and were never expected to sustain momentum until the November elections. It is my […]
By: Christine Morabito – September, 2010 In 1975 Sen. William Proxmire, D-WI, became the taxpayer’s superhero when he began passing out Golden Fleece Awards, spotlighting pork-barrel projects that wasted taxpayer dollars. This infuriated some of his colleagues, who could no longer squander other people’s money with impunity. Examples included: $84,000 to study “why people […]
By: Christine Morabito – August, 2010 I normally recommend that the Tea Party ignore the ridiculous charges of racism leveled by our opponents. However, while watching the Sunday talk shows, it occurred to me that we may be the only ones ignoring them. The hullabaloo comes on the heels of the NAACP’s resolution to deem […]
By: Christine Morabito – July, 2010 With new Tea Parties popping up all over the state, there is no question that the message of limited government strikes a chord with a great many Bay State residents. An enthusiastic group of American patriots is forming right in our own backyard with the emergence of the Merrimack Valley […]
