So much crazy to unpack here... So Brown doesn't want them to follow either the letter of the law or a court order stemming from legal action from a Republican president to follow the law? Plus, how can an elected official in this day and age be against any kind of voter registration effort? He's basically admitting that he has no interest in attracting poor voters. Scott, this is America. Today's welfare recipients are tomorrow's industry leaders. They won't forget this snub.

If the pettiness of this man is not evident to anyone now it should be. He is counting on people reading headlines not the substance of the piece. He will also undoubtedly use Dan Rea's "balanced" talk show to beef up the base and overly worked voters who have little time to get the real story. What is even more revealing is he does not want people on welfare to vote. Sorry Scott they are citizens also. This really seals the cake on this man's low road intentions to win an election. This Senator should know over half of Welfare Recipients are people in nursing homes and 80% of the remainder are children. Instead of demonstrating this unseemly side of his persona he could have just bit your tongue. He must have realized the very small impact this PREVIOUSLY MANDATED MAILING would have. Instead what we see is a Senator who denigrates parts of the voting public and tries to block them from voting. This should give those voters on the fence in this election the clear view that Sen Brown's legislative attention is limited. His votes are owned by those who don't give a damn about people who are down on their luck. In his vaunted biography he details that his family at one time depended on Medicaid. Now he wants to turn his back on Medicaid recipients in an odd reversal of the same situation he once found himself.

It's really unseemly for anyone, but particularly a U.S. Senator, to oppose voter registration efforts.

He is just falling in line with Republicans in 34 other states who think voter ID is civil rights legislation. They really have no real idea how people will vote except by stereotyping. Who knows by blocking votes they may even be affecting their own constituency. Instead they tick off the rest of the voting public who understand what these ploys are all about: voter suppression.

But System, this is so un pc of you. Are you saying that people who get hand-outs vote for Democrats?

But Scott, welfare recipients are an important constituency for the Democrats, as are minorities, the very poor and the very rich. Oh wait, I forgot about the public sector unions. And besides, Warren's daughter probably wasn't even aware that her mother was running for the Senate.

I agree Senator Brown. What a bunch of BS. Can not WAIT until November. Goodbye and good riddance, socialists!

Socialists? Really? Not encouraging poor people to vote is all-American, encouraging them to vote to be in compliance with a mandate is "socialist". I see.

I had kind of fallen into a sort of "he's a Republican but he's a good guy" kind of thing regarding the Senator, but this says it all. Apparently he doesn't want poor people to exercise their franchise rights, it might offset the CU decision too much. And what's the good of all that Koch cash if you can't deliver?

Why aren't the people who funded this mailing, the taxpayers, sent a reminder to vote. Could it be that they may not vote for the Demos and Acorn group candidates?

Hey Sport, your tomorrow's industry leaders will be in the same place tomorrow as they are today with their hands out yelling "give me I'm entitled'!

Brown is a pathetic human being. What is so awful about getting people to vote? Oh right this is the guy who is doing his best with the other republicans to make sure Democrats cannot vote.

He obviously doesn't know what the word "socialist" means. Someone just told him he should fling it around as an epithet. It makes him look like a fool.
