SPAM CONTINUES ITS LONGSTANDING SUPPORT FOR STATE SENATOR SCOTT BROWN IN ENDORSING HIM FOR UNITED STATES SENATE
December 16, 2009
The Executive Board of the State Police Association of Massachusetts voted yesterday to continue our support for Scott Brown and endorse his bid for United States Senate. Senator Brown has been a strong supporter of SPAM over the years; most recently earning the endorsement of SPAM in his State Senate run during the 2008 election cycle.
Based on a review of his legislative accomplishments and his stated commitment to the State Police and public safety, the Executive Board believes the residents of the Commonwealth will be best served by his election. Time and time again, he has shown himself to be a tireless advocate, willing to listen to all sides and act accordingly.
In addition, Senator Brown is the sponsor of SPAM-supported legislation that would allow municipalities to avail themselves of additional State Police assistance at no additional cost – saving municipalities valuable funds they might otherwise have to spend under existing mutual aid agreements. His continued support for SPAM’s goals and objectives throughout the years is reflected in our endorsement.

Parole Commission denies convicted terrorist permission to travel out of Maine
The United States Parole Commission has denied convicted serial bomber and domestic terrorist Raymond Levasseur permission to travel to Massachusetts to make an appearance at a controversial and ill-planned event at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
Levasseur served 18 years, less than half of a 45 year sentence for his role as leader of the United Freedom Front, a domestic terrorist gang that was responsible for blowing up over 20 buildings, conducting armed bank robberies to fund their violent agenda, attempting to murder two Massachusetts State Troopers and the brutal slaying of New Jersey Trooper Phil Lamonaco. He is currently living in a federal halfway house in Maine.
His appearance having been canceled once already, the anarchist’s event was resurrected – according to WHDH, Levasseur was quietly “re-invited by a faculty group spearheaded by UMass Professor Sara Lennox”, whose 2008 salary was over $118,000.
Although it once again appears that Levasseur will not be in attendance at the UMass event, his wife and lawyers are expected to participate and speak on his behalf and the event has not been canceled. Numerous police organizations and the widow of Trooper Lamonaco still plan to protest the reprehensible glorification of this unrepentant, violent criminal, and call on the public, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and the administration of UMass to join them at UMass on Thursday evening to express their condemnation of Levasseur and his terrorist agenda.
