The more I read about Jeff Beatty, the more I’m impressed with him. This op-ed is a perfect example of why we need Jeff Beatty in the United States Senate. Check out how Mr. Beatty goes after Sen. Kerry on energy policy:

The U.S. Senate, including Sen. John Kerry, could have acted recently to resolve our current fuel crisis by voting for a comprehensive energy plan.

Instead, Kerry characteristically shirked his responsibility to the people of Massachusetts. He and the Senate leadership ducked for cover, allowing a comprehensive energy reform bill, which included lifting Congress’s moratorium on offshore drilling, to die.

Kerry and others then exited the U.S. Capitol for the August recess, a five-week vacation most of us cannot afford, leaving a steadfast few who demanded a vote on this issue literally standing in the dark of the House chamber with the American people left in the lurch.

The citizens of Massachusetts would be wise to pick Jeff Beatty because he has a plan to improve their lives. Compare that with Sen. Kerry. He’s been in the Senate sin 1984. Since then, he’s been wrong on almost every foreign policy issue. His accomplishments are thin to nonexistent. That begs the question: Why vote for someone who’s had a remarkably mediocre career when you can pick someone whose policies would help his constituents and who brings a wealth of experience on homeland security matters?

This paragraph is another reason why Massachusetts needs Jeff Beatty’s leadership:

This is a start, but I want faster relief for the “gas pains” America is suffering now. As a founder of a business and a former Delta Force officer, FBI Special Agent and CIA counter-terrorism officer, I have the solutions-oriented leadership skills to take immediate action.

Jeff Beatty wouldn’t just be a senator. He’d be a leader in the Senate. Massachusetts voters can’t afford to miss this opportunity.

If Massachusetts voters elect Jeff Beatty, they will have made the most of a great opportunity.
