NYS INDEPENDENCE PARTY CHAIRMAN URGES IMMEDIATE SEATING OF SEN. SCOTT BROWN

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 22, 2010 -- Independence Party of New York State Chairman and Independence Party of America Chairman Frank MacKay, while congratulating Scott Brown on his victory, urges his immediate seating in the U.S. Senate.

“As leader of the largest third party in the United States, I want to congratulate Scott Brown on his victory in yesterday’s special election for the U.S. Senate. According to news reports and several polls, the independent, ‘unaligned voters’ were the difference in this election, turning out in overwhelmingly numbers for Sen. Brown. We applaud this outpouring of support by these Massachusetts Independents,” stated Chairman MacKay.

MacKay continued, “Reports of delaying Scott’s swearing-in are unacceptable and we in the Independence movement urge his immediate seating. Any delay is a travesty to the democratic process and will not be tolerated by the voters of Massachusetts and voters across the Nation. We understand that certain politicians are hanging there hopes on an arcane Massachusetts law that could delay the swearing-in by as much as 15 days. This is unacceptable and we are prepared to take legal action to move this process forward.”

“It would be a mistake for anyone to engage in political gamesmanship in the smooth and speedy transition of Sen. Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate,” concluded Chairman MacKay.
