Our own Congressman Mike
Capuano, who is seeking the vacant Senate, seat is being seen all over
the state and being received very well…. But, if you would like to
help in any way, they can use volunteers down at headquarters on Third
Street in Cambridge. Would be nice to have the seat filled with Mike,
he will never disappoint you when he wants to get his point across to
you.
