State of Massachusetts Archives: on Free Trade


Jeff Beatty: Protect jobs for American citizens

Beatty supports John McCain for president, seeing the Republican candidate as a man like himself whose priorities are "to protect families, to protect jobs, and to protect the country." He endorsed Jessica's Law, a law adopted by 42 states to punish sex offenders and limit their ability to re-offend. In support of protecting jobs, he said he opposes benefits to illegal immigrants at the expense of legal immigrants and American citizens and supports reduced taxes on small businesses.
