Governor Patrick at Newburyport Farmers' Market

Governor Patrick took a stroll through the Newburyport Farmers' Market at the Tannery on Sunday morning.

Vendors and shoppers alike were delighted by his visit.

And, I'm delighted that the Daily News of Newburyport published one of my pictures from the event in this morning's paper!

Governor Patrick and Sam Piseth

Sam and his wife, Ratha, were among the first charter members of the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) at Arrowhead Family Farm, according to Dick Chase. (Dick kindly provided caption info to me late Sunday evening so the photo could be published in today's Daily News. Thank you, Dick!)

Take a look at the rest of the pictures HERE.

Here are a few pictures.

Newburyport press conference for Coakley

Earlier this afternoon, local officials gathered at a press conference on Inn St. in Newburyport (really cold, gross weather) to show support for Martha Coakley.

Everyone's for Coakley!

Martha Coakley rally in Newburyport

Martha Coakley, Massachusetts Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, toured the North Shore today and stopped for an energetic and well-attended rally.

When you take a break from making phone calls for Martha (you are doing that, right?) in the next couple of days, take a look at the photos!

100 Days Visibility in Newburyport

On a morning that was supposed to be rainy and miserable, bright skies prevailed over a happy reunion of Obama supporters who gathered in Market Square to show their enthusiasm for the new administration's accomplishments.

Cars honked in a show of support and smiling demonstrators waved back in solidarity.

It was altogether a lovely way to start the day!




You can see the rest of the pictures HERE.

Thank you, Newburyport Current!

Wow! Great piece by Barbara Taermina in this week's Newburyport Current about last week's 3T & 2C breakfast and the local Democratic political scene. Thank you, Barbara, for the plug for this blog and for the Newburyport Dems blog.

I hope those of you who live locally and are visiting this blog for the first time will scroll down and check out the photos I've posted in the past year or so. Be sure to follow the link to the photos of the Yankee Homecoming Parade.

A RIDDLE

What do Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray, Congressman John Tierney, MA Democratic Party Chair John Walsh, Essex County DA John Blodgett, MA State Rep. Harriett Stanley, Governor's Council member Mary-Ellen Manning, and Democratic State Committee members from as far as Worcester County all have in common with 150 local Democrats? They were all in Newburyport Saturday morning at the 3Ts and 2Cs Breakfast! (Three towns--Newbury, Salisbury and West Newbury--and two cities--Newburyport and Amesbury.)

Know what happens when you google "3t 2c breakfast"?

You get the Newburyport blog and 17,600 breakfast recipes using 3 tablespoons (or teaspoons) and 2 cups!

Congressman John Tierney held a community meeting at City Hall in Newburyport on Saturday during which he answered questions posed by audience members about subjects ranging from the occupation of Iraq and the commitment of more troops in Afghanistan, to help for Eastern Massachusetts farmers, to the restoration of the beach on PI by dredging the Merrimac with help from the Army Corp of Engineers.

There was a group organized by Newburyport Republicans (and some of their kids) who demonstrated in the park across the street before the event.

Charlie Tontar has written a piece about event on the Newburyport Dems Blog. And, there are more of my pictures HERE.


By the way, there was someone who accused the Congressman of taking campaign contributions from the financial industry. Congressman Tierney is one of the cleanest members of congress. Here's a link to see where the money comes from. Whenever you're curious about who's contributed to any campaign--be it the president's, or any member of the senate or the house--just go to Open Secrets.

Yankee Homecoming Parade with Congressman JohnTierney

The 2008 Yankee Homecoming Parade will be remembered as "wet!" It started to sprinkle about half way through, followed a few minutes later by vivid lightning and booming thunder, accompanied by rain that can only be called a deluge.
You can find pictures taken along the route here. (Try watching it as a slideshow.)

These pictures demonstrate the progression.
