Representative Barrows’ Office Vandalized
The Mansfield campaign office of State Representative Jay Barrows (1st Bristol District, Foxborough-Mansfield-Norton) was broken into on Friday night June 27, 2008.
The campaign utilizes a small office area at the Barrows Insurance Agency for storage and materials. None of the insurance records, documents, or equipment was touched during the break-in, and the security and integrity of all customer information has been confirmed to be completely intact and unimpeached.
Only Barrows’ campaign information was targeted by the vandals. Campaign records and documents were accessed and scattered about the office. An assessment of the extent and nature of the damage done is underway now. A Police Report has been filed.

Objective & Informed Media Outlets
At a recent Foxborough RTC gathering, we received an excellent update on fair and objective media from a member that recently attended a gala in D.C. for the Media Research Center. MRC is a media watchdog group that monitors the news outlets such as NPR, CBS and so on to expose media bias.
While youtube.com and other internet hot-spots are enjoying major attention, there are those slowly gaining momentum such as www.mediarearch.org and www.eyeblast.tv.
Of interest in terms of print media there are those that believe "The Economist" is a great way to further delve into what is happening in the world today that impacts all of us. To hear not just both sides of a debate domestically, but a universal and global perspective. For others, WSJ remains a good source. I am slowly chipping away at my stack of periodicals, I confess I am some months behind playing catch up. Time is a true commodity.
There is so much to learn from others, and I continue to have a profound and deep respect for my friends and colleagues who sit on many sides of various issues.
Important to note I have been enjoying long lived debate courtesy of the Feinsteins and their international off spring. On a daily basis we continue to debate oil dependency, increasing federal deficits & spending, the right to prosecute career criminals to the fullest extent of the law, defend ourselves, free speech, and health care. Through these debates and engaging of those who do not necessarily agree I am reflective on a daily basis about where the solutions and answers are. And how do we navigate the next 2, 5, 10-20 years as a super power, a nation of caring people and peaceful people. And how do we take care of our own nation, it's children, and elderly.
Perhaps it is worth reminding us all, in the end, we all want the same thing. Peace, health, prosperity, safety, community, and how do we arrive at a place that works for us all. We do live in a great nation, and the future of these issues is deeply influenced by the incoming administration and President.
That said, there is blatent bias from media, and until the silent few take their turn to speak up, the stories continue their spin cycles.........Clearly no lack of opinion out there, but a demonstrated lack of unbiased reporting.
Tim Russert left this earth and now there is a void. Peggy Noonan penned a great tribute to him in the WSJ soon after his passing and talked about Russert's outstanding virtues, and how he truly valued equal time, and an equality of approach. She was right. And looking back, it is such an enormous loss.
