Well, strictly spoken no. Newtons first law applies to electrons too... 
(Think of Vacuum tubes, particle accelerators, synchrotron storage ring 
although with these electrons lose energy simply by getting accelerated 
*radially* [to remain on cirular course], and by some magic not covered 
by mechanics, they lose energy through radiation, which is the whole 
point of synchrotrons)
