Common Core - who do you believe CT?

 Listen to what they are saying & ask yourself does this make sense & who do you really believe those who are profiting from this or those who are directly being affected by this?

Think I'll believe the parents & students & teachers & professionals who aren't being paid to promote the program; I suggest that you start paying attention & start asking questions.
Dr Sandra Stotsky has come to CT on several occasions to warn CT parents against & about Common Core, as has Dr Duke Pesta.

There is another educational forum this weekend in BlackRock park in Watertown CT that is free to attend & if at all possible you should make the effort to carpool down (bring the children if you need to they will have activities for them) so that you can learn & ask questions about Common Core.

Oct 5th is another Free Public Educational Forum this one is in BlackRock Park in Watertown CT - maybe the PTA members can carpool down so you guys can discuss what you learn & plan to use the information in your ongoing battles with the BoE members since it was under their watch that this was pushed onto our children & why there is the education gap that is increasing

Dr Tienken from Seton Hall will be the keynote speaker at this forum as well an educational attorney & others

Social Media Connections

Where are you in the Social Media world?

I think that one reason that people are so disconnected from the elected people is due to not being connected to them on a more personal level so there is no accountability between the people being elected & the citizens in our towns

I do want to change this & am looking for the best way to connect with the people in the 2nd District

In addition to this blog which has comments enabled I am on FaceBook & G+ & YouTube

I have opened up a 24/7 voicemail so that regardless of the time of day someone can call & leave me a message about what they think is a problem, a suggestion about what we should work on to improve life for all of us & any money saving ideas that we can look into & any potential fraud that might be needing to get looked at

Leave us some comments & let us get connected
Go ahead & give me a call 641-715-3900 ext 327977#

Some of my social network connections are listed here -> Social Media Page

Primary Turnout Down From 2010 - Courant.com

Primary Turnout Down From 2010 - Courant.com

It was a rather sad state of affairs on primary day

Turnout for the Republican primary in some towns didn't even break the 100 voters mark.

Foley was the winner for the primary & this results in a rematch of the 2010 Foley vs Malloy Governors race

The question is how will the 3rd party candidates affect the race this year? The 2010 race gave many votes to the 3rd party candidate because they weren't happy with Foley, many conservatives have moved out of CT & have been replaced by more Liberals - the question is what will be done about the voter fraud that occurred in the last elections that was not addressed?

Some of the democrats got nasty in their bid for the primary in the 2nd district & resorted to property destruction bending over the Eric Coleman signs at the polling stations.

Eric Coleman did end up winning the election by 300+ votes this time, so it was a close race in the 3 way vote against him.
