(Chuck can't get on the board for some reason and emailed this to me, giving me permission to post this here~Jay)

-He tried to force the BSA in MA to accept homosexual leaders.

-He advocates gays be allowed to adopt. In fact his Dept of Soc Svcs gave a gay couple (2 men) as "MA Adoptive Couple of the Year" award.

-He increased funding to the Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, the group that actively promotes homosexual teachings in public schools. (Can you say Fistgate?

-He is pro-abortion. Or is he pro-life? Nope, today he's pro-abort. oops, no I guess he's changed again--he's pro-life. Sort of. At least for this week.

-He supports funding of embryonic stem cell research.

-He's mandated that all MA residents have health insurance or face a fine.

-His very first budget as gov increased spending by $130 million. OK, not very much in a multi-billion dollar state budget, but he'd promised in his campaign to cut the budget by $1 billion the first year. Smallgovernment.org says he is a "Big spending, big government Republican." But that shouldn't surprise anyone.

-He balanced his state budget by increasing corporate and property taxes.

-He approves of the Assault Weapons Ban and waiting periods for purchasing guns.

-He was named one of the Top 10 RINO's (Republicans in name only)

This is just for starters.
