Mass senatorial candidate Elizabeth Warren purports to represent the little guy. Just ask her website. Washington is rigged to work for those who can hire an army of lobbyists and an army of lawyers to get special deals. It isn’t working for small businesses and middle class families.

Bad elected officials need to be called out and their official misdeeds highlighted.) We decided to look at number four, which focused…
Here’s the way I see it. If Anthony Gemma wins (and I think that’s a bigger possibility than some people think), firstly, the state will be rid of a mendacious, duplicitous elected official (i.e., David Cicilline) who selfishly put his own political career far ahead of honesty and the best interest of the people he…
