Cambridge, MA- Martha Coakley's latest setback in the Senate Special Election comes from her husbands union. The Cambridge Police Patrol Officers have voted overwhelmingly to back Senate Candidate Scott Brown.
Coakley's husband's union, a retired Cambridge Police Officer, has provided their endorsement to Scott Brown.

Members of our Association have inquired and requested that we endorse Scott Brown in the upcoming election against Martha Coakley. Ms. Coakley along with some of her campaign workers have talked publicly about how her husband is a retired Cambridge Police Officer, giving appearances that she is being endorsed by the Cambridge Police. This may be an innocent insinuation but most do take this as our giving her our support and endorsement. Yesterday, the CPPOA Executive Board voted to endorse State Senator Scott Brown in the upcoming election for US Senate. In an 11 to 2 vote, the Executive Board voted overwhelmingly in favor of the endorsement. We do not endorse anyone who advocates changes in the health care that take away any bargaining rights or increases our cost along with our contributions. Senator Brown does not support the Comprehensive Healthcare Reform Bill and promises to be the 41st vote to ensure its defeat. The current leadership at the state house, as we all know and have seen over the past two years, have an agenda to dismantle all of our hard earned bargained benefits and they will continue to dismantle these until there is a complete change from the top down. Martha Coakley is part of this Massachusetts leadership and she will continue with this agenda, only now it will be at the capital level and we need to stop it. So today, we the members of the Cambridge Police Patrol Officers Association endorse Scott Brown for the senate seat vacated by Senator Kennedy.

With unaffiliated voters (so called independents) breaking three to one for Scott Brown, we just might have that big day Tuesday. Get those GOP regulars up there in Mass to the polls as well and show the country even Massachusetts is fed up with the left wing agenda.Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, January 16, 2010
Martha Coakley's record should be enough to disqualify her. Where were all the screaming Liberals and Dems when she kept an innocent man in prison? If it were up to me she would have to serve the same time in prison as the innocent man and two women she put behind bars. Shame on you Martha and shame on anyone who voted for you!Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, January 16, 2010
Finally people in Mass are waking up to the fact that Martha Coakley's only qualification for Ted Kennedy's senate seat is that Scott Brown is a republican, without mentioning much about what she would do to help the people of Massachusetts. The people of Mass need to rehabilitate the image of their state as being something other than a state that just rubber stamps democratic candidates no matter how bad they are.
