The Republican 4th Congressional District Candidate reveals the name of his employer, One Click Politics.
OneClickPolitics.com is a website which promises to "Tell everyone in Washington what you think with one click."

The website allows users to quickly send messages to members of the House and Senate by picking a topic and headline. Message headlines on the One Click Politics site included issues like "Pass a budget!", "Stand with Israel" and "Pledge to Repeal ObamaCare and Pass Real Health Care Reform." The Globe reports that the website will have other left-leaning messages rotate onto the homepage. See the full story on WBUR or The Boston Globe. Previously…

Paul Heroux says he does not have the resources to compete in what he calls the "campaign-industrial complex."
The field of candidates to fill the Congressional seat for Massachusetts' 4th District has shrunk with the announcement early Thursday morning that Attleboro resident and Attleboro-Seekonk Patch blogger Paul Heroux has withdrawn from the race "I am not seeking the nomination at this time because with limited resources there is no longer enough time to put together the sort of professional organization necessary to successfully compete in what has become a 'campaign-industrial complex,'" Heroux wrote on his campaign site. The 35-year-old Democrat was considered a longshot in a race that includes fellow Democrats Joseph Kennedy III (grandson of deceased U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy), Jules Levine and Herb Robinson and Republicans …

Sean Bielat will run as a Republican in the 4th Congressional District.
After losing the Fourth Congressional District by 11 percentage points to Democrat Barney Frank in the 2010 election, Republican Sean Bielat thinks a second try in 2012 will pay off.

The Norfolk resident will face a different opponent this time around. Frank announced in November that he would not seek re-election after 16 terms in the House of Representatives. His final re-election bid against Bielat was his closest since 1982. Frank acknowledged that redistricting played into his reason not to run. For Bielat, the loss of New Bedford and the addition of more conservative towns like …
