I've pretty much written him off at this point.
It's not like he hasn't had plenty of chances. He hasn't taken them. Even if we get him to say something sensible now, what are the odds he'll remember/follow through when it matters?

I haven't received a reply either. Originally e-mailed him on the 9th.
I re-sent my e-mail with an addendum to the top.
If this still fails, then I will send him an e-mail EVERYDAY until he does!

I hope you realize that Charlie Baker will never see that e-mail. All those e-mails are handled by aides.
I had written an email to CB a while back (pre this thread) and got the same answer. I think it may have even been word for word. So what you get probably will be the same. If you have not written him yet mention that 10,000 NES members will see this response. We will then know if he is responding or sending a generic response.
He still has time
No reply to my e-mail or letter. He's a write off.
he snubbed a reporter the other day regarding an issue he shoule have addressed, instead he gave the reported
a look that would indicate the reporter is stupid and their question is not important.
not very polite in my opinion. ANd now with these rubber stamp replies, he's a write off.

He is just sooooo busy, huh? He's not even in the senate yet, but he's acting like he's Ted friggin Kennedy?
From Richard Tisei: Hi - we have talked about it a number of times and he is pretty good on the issue. We went to the sportsman board meeting in Auburn last weekend and spent more than an hour talking about a whole host of issues and everyone seemed really pleased with him. You may want to check in with some of those folks for feedback but it was all good.
Did anyone attend this?

Just got back from a vacation and my girlfriends comp is out of commision so I've been away for a week. Checked my e-mail, and got the same response as the OP.
This bugs me, but I'm not writing him off.
As of right now he or aides are sending off these cookie-cutter responses but soon, they won't be able to let it slide. They are gonna realize that they have to answer to this more concisely.
Also, if some of you are writing him off....who are you gonna vote for then? I'll take someone who votes the way I want on issues 75% of the time compared to someone who votes the way I want 0% of the time.
I'm gonna be sending him another e-mail and inform him and his campaign that on the internet somewhere, there is a discussion going on about his crappy, copied answer.
May not make a difference, but it's something

i had sent him this on his facebook page a couple weeks back:
"I am disappointed in your “copy and paste” responses to important issues I, as well as others, have received from you. Questions from the voters are important to their decision on whether or not they want to vote for you. Using a generic response, word for word mind you, to questions like this will not get you ...votes. In case you forgot, Massachusetts spoke up against this type of dodgy politics when we voted in Scott Brown. Get a clue. You have lost my vote in this election due to not taking a few minutes in answering my question in your own words."
and his response:
" I remember your question on the second amendment and drafted the response myself, like I do all of the questions sent into the campaign. If you need additional follow-up please feel free to ask and I'll answer anything you want to know. Thanks Chris"

The longer you give him before writing him off, the less ability you'll have to find an alternative.
Why? What are you going to do if he doesn't, vote for Deval?
Even if he did release something now, what makes you think it would mean anything? He's already showed us that he doesn't care about this issue, and isn't interested in our rights. All you can hope to get out of him now is some smoke blown up your nether regions. Especially if you say that you'll vote for him whether he deigns to respond to your concerns or not.
Christy is all done. He is bouncing checks to his campaign committee. His convenience stores have at least $600k in overdue bills to vendors, and he's being sued as a result. Christy hasn't paid some of his campaign staff and they are bailing as a result.
Even if Christy had a well financed campaign, he'd have no chance.
Even if we assume Mihos is out. we have to get Cahill to drop out or get Baker to drop out, in order to have a chance against Uhaul. Uhaul has enough solid moonbat districts left to get the 30-ish percent required to win, in a three or four way race.

I agree completely. A 3-way race works to Patrick's advantage.
Mihos's finanical problems
The news keeps coming from Christy's campaign:

The sooner Mihos crawls back under a rock, the better.

Update:
Got a friend who is close to his campaign and Charlie will not commit to 2A in order to garner 200,000-300,000 votes while potentially voiding 1 million independent votes. it a numbers game and it sucks.
I'm told if Charlie gets in he won't make anything worse with 2A. His running Lt. Governor i hear is a Pro-2A guy and gay, so maybe that's the gun and gay vote.

Even with him gone, there is very strong potential for Cahill and Baker to end up splitting the non moonbat vote.... and if one of them can't put up numbers that will beat U-haul's 35% (or whatever it is) then we're screwed. I agree though that Mihos needs to go at this point. Even if he only draws off 5% that's still enough to increase the likelihood that U-haul will win again.

I would have to say Deval is looking good right now (unfortunately). I do not trust Cahill as far as I could throw him, but he is saying all the right things. BUT, if he really believed what he is spewing right now, he would have left the party years ago.
Also, he had a nice little pension scandal in his past that typifies what I dislike about government.
I think Baker is just the lesser of three (or four) evils. Typical Mass RINO, and certainly no Scott Brown. That said, he will get my vote.
