Republicans howled that the mailings, which went out last month, were a bid to boost Warren in her neck-and-neck race with Brown.
Brown said yesterday that the get-out-the-welfare vote campaign — which cost taxpayers more than $275,000 — “smells wrong and … is wrong.”…
CAJ note: If only Progressives would apply as much effort and resources to ensure that our military gets to cast their votes, too.
