Its attitudes like Senator Brown that files me with the sesire to burn the American flag in protest.

Clever rhetorical turn. But it only holds up if the state spends money registering voters of all types, not just those likely to vote one way or another. But the question remains: Why don't welfare recipients vote proportionate to their numbers?

I'd send a letter to the editor, but we are within the window of an election year where the Globe stops posting any non-Democrat letters (see also, gaggle of pro-Warren, pro-ACORN, pro-tax hike letters today), but this column made me laugh. Barack Obama has a placard on his podium that flips around and changes like James Bonds' license plate, depending upon which crowd he is talking to - Women, Latinos, union workers, etc. And he is now sandwiching his fund raisers between organizing commercials to accuse Mitt Romney of causing cancer and whipping up the mob to lynch "the rich" that are our small business owners. So, it is funny watching a guy like Adrian Walker, who supports this most sleazy, divisive, president in history writing a column about Republican divisiveness. And I'm not even a Romney supporter, I'm writing in Ron Paul, but this goes beyond the pale. It is definitely getting to be campaign season, time for the Globe to morph back into the DNC rag that it is every election year. Oh, and speaking of Warren, how is the fraud her and her daughter are perpetrating no worse than that of Tim Cahill using his office to improve his numbers? Don't expect much reporting on it from the Globe.

So if recruitment centers and the DMV are also on the list of registration centers, why weren't the letters sent to their mailing lists? I think that is the concern here. Would liberals like it if the state only sent the letters to white males over 40 years old? No one group should have been singled out...

Scott is terrified of a general election where people outside of South Boston actually show up to vote, and with good reason. For most of the last two years, Scott has represented everything except the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The poor have the opportunity to exercise their right to vote, we all have that right, Adrian. They just need to go to city hall and register like the rest of us did, what's the problem. do we need to take them by the hand and bring them there, it's that what your saying, pretty sad. this group waits outside the Welfare offices and asks people if they were offered the chance to register, if not, they file a law suit, really, pretty pathetic.

The Globe has reported extensively on this story.

Perhaps Elizabeth Warren considers Scott Brown's move on this one as a gift. It certainly helps to clarify who stands where on fundamental social issues.

Those crazy daughters! Warren can't put her daughter Amelia on a leash-she's a vote-gathering dynamo! Brown can't tell Ayla to keep her clothes on in front of the cameras. "I'll pose nude if I want to!" Those crazy kids!

fundamental social issues, like going to city hall and registering to vote, they seem to find the welfare office fast enough.

If Scott Brown had his way, only rich people would vote.

The problem is mailings were only sent to welfare recipients...never mind any other group. And $276k is an awful lot of money to spend on FREE voter registration. If people really wanted to vote, they can register...it isn't rocket science. To waste that much money is crazy. Are they saying that welfare recipients are too ignorant to register without the form being handed to them like they are children? If so, maybe they shouldn't vote...we don't want people just checking boxes randomly because they don't understand the ballot. Be insulted, Democrats think you are stupid!

Ahh It's the law...

If someone cannot figure out how to vote maybe the should not bother to vote. To deny the intent of this action is absurd.

Denying the vote, they need to go register to be able to vote. Seems they cant find city hall, but they know where the Welfare office is. Shame move by elizabeth Warren, treating the poor like their dumb.

President Clinton signed this into law in 1993, you know who was invited to the signing, Cloward and Piven. The two that strategy is to overload the welfare system and bankrupt the country, google them, makes interesting reading.

There is a huge crack in Brown's facade.He was supposedly against class warfare and even politics itself-just a nice guy. This is an attempt to draw the ire of taxpayers who should resent that "those people" would receive assistance. He has no problem with corp welfare and campaign contributions from such companieswho receive it. Well, he's right in step with the Romney-Ryan ticket.

Adrian Walker and obviously some of the people below that commented don't get it. Spending $276,00.00 to mail out self-addressed stamped voter registration cards to one specific group is outrageous. It has nothing to do with Scott Brown denying ANYONE the right to vote. But Adrian Walker and the rest of the Ultra Liberals that made negative comments about Scott Brown as usual are slinging mud that is totally unfounded and without merit. If you want an elitist and out of touch politician then look no further than John Kerry and Lizzy Warren.

Demos filed this lawsuit in May of this year. Similar lawsuits against other states have been filed as early as 2006. It seems very questionable that Demos waited until May to file this lawsuit against the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Targeting welfare recipients can only be a boost to Warren, who will try to protect welfare recipients more than Brown. We have turned welfare from a safety net to help people through difficult times to a lifestyle, where many recipients do not actively pursue meaningful work to get off of welfare and take care of themselves creating a culture of dependency. Democrats look at themselves as the party representing "hard working people". Hard working people are those who go off to work each day to make a decent pay to support their families and to help them better their lives. Part of the pay from these people go to paying for people on welfare or getting other public assistance. While many on welfare or other public assistance programs are truly in need, there are also many who use the system to get benefits for doing little or no work. Hard working people deserve to be able to keep more of their money to support themselves and their families. Shame on the commonwealth if they did not make these forms available to people when applying for public assistance, but the timing of the lawsuit and the link between Demos and Professor Warren does not pass the smell test.

Too bad you haven't been inspired by the desire to learn how to write and spell.
