Capuano is our Congressman and he has done nothing for us in his 10 years of office. It has even been impossible to receive a response from his office when trying to find out his position on anything. He would be better off forwarding calls to the two US Senators since he seemed to be just a puppet for them.
It is obvious he has called in all favors given his recent endorsements and I think there will probably be more to come. Please don’t be taken in by all of this. Mike Capuano is not the right person to have 1% of the Senate Votes. He just doesn’t have what it takes.
