Lynch: Moslems should move proposed Manhattan center out of respect for 'us'

Ninth District Rep. Steve Lynch and Democratic challenger Mac D'Alessandro discussed everything from the proposed Islamic cultural center in lower Manhattan to, of course, health care, in a 20-minute discussion on WGBH's "Greater Boston" tonight (Watch).

Lynch, D'Alessandro to have slightly longer debate tonight

Channel 2's "Greater Boston" will air a debate between 9th District incumbent Steve Lynch and Democratic challenger Mac D'Alessandro at 7 p.m. tonight (the debate will be taped at 4:30). Greater Boston airs for 30 minutes, so that would make this twice as long as their earlier debate.

Opponent charges Steve Lynch is as evil as Johnny Damon

Mac D'Alessandro, running against Stephen Lynch for Congress, addressed a rally on the Boston Common Tuesday

Mac D'Alessandro, running against Stephen Lynch for Congress in Massachusetts' 9th district, addressed a rally on the Boston Common Tuesday, August 10 organized by Boston MoveOn members.

A vote for Mac on September 14 is a vote for a better, more progressive Democrat. Mac is pro-choice, Lynch is not. Lynch voted for the war in Iraq, Mac did not and does not support extending the wars. Mac supported health care reform, Lynch voted against it. They both support Elizabeth Warren to run the consumer protection agency. Let Mac tell you why he's running and what he stands for (video):

MA-9 voters want Bill Clinton to campaign after we choose our candidate

Anonymous — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:17:15 +0000

While I welcome President Bill Clinton's interest in the MA-9 race and his willingness to stump and fund raise, I'd ask him and the MA Democratic Party to wait until the people have selected their candidate in the primary before stumping and fund raising - which is to ask the President to respect the will of the people not tilt the field to the incumbent.

We have an important Democratic primary in MA-9 this year. Candidates and campaign volunteers are out canvassing and phone banking for Stephen Lynch, Mac D'Alessandro and Phil Dunkelbarger.

Many of LYNCH'S POSITIONS and votes on key issues of the day, such as the Iraq War, ongoing Afghanistan war funding, Health care, Reproductive rights, TARP, and the Recovery Act are AT ODDS with the Democratic Party platform, the president's agenda, and constituent interests in MA-9.

I do not work for a campaign. I am an unaffiliated liberal (independent) voter who has observed the incumbent vote on health care and stimulus and Afghanistan war funding and decided we in the MA-9 deserve better.

Lynch is out of step with the MA Congressional delegation. We deserve better.

If you are a Mac, you're not alone:

Lynch vs. D'Alessandro

adamg — Wed, 26 May 2010 19:37:51 +0000

The Mac D'Alessandro campaign says it's submitted 4,000 signatures to the secretary of state's office, which should be more than enough to get him on the Democratic primary ballot this fall against Ninth District incumbent Steve Lynch.

Union candidate to take on Steve Lynch in Democratic primary

David Bernstein breaks the news that Mac D'Alessandro, policy director for the SEIU in the Northeast, will run against the Ninth District incumbent.

You may recall unions warned Lynch of the consequences if he voted against the health-care reform bill.

Also running in the Ninth District this year: independent Phil Dunkelbarger and Republicans Keith Lepor and Vernon Harrison.
