Why were there UnContested Races in CT in 2016?

I originally wrote this post in 2016 have you noticed any changes to speak of in CT Politics?

Have the RTCs dedicated themselves towards actually doing some things differently? 

Maybe even starting with the leadership of those RTCs due to needing to update the local party with new ideas?

Have the campaigns started working TOGETHER instead of only working with "the sure winner" as an attempt to grow the party in CT like is being done in other parts of the country?

Below is a copy and paste of what I originally wrote in 2016...

^*^*^*^*^*^ From 2016 Post ^*^*^*^*^

It is true there are too many UnContested Races in CT's General Assembly this year & in years past & if things do not change this will be the future as well...

The July 21st article in the Hartford Courant  http://www.courant.com/opinion/op-ed/hc-ed-too-many-ct-seats-uncontested-0721-20160720-story.html

points out that "due to apathy" & "lack of leadership" seats are going uncontested during a year when there should be not only full ballots but also high voter turnout since it is a presidential election year

Copied & pasted from the article 
"What a shame, then, that more than 25 percent of the House seats will go unchallenged by a major-party candidate, along with four seats in the Senate."

& also this from the article
" 16 Democrats will run unopposed by a Republican, nearly all of them incumbents, according to preliminary information from the secretary of the state's office. "

Shame on the local party leadership for not running full tickets; 
but also shame on the cities & towns people that have not stepped up to run for office.

"We the People" means that each citizen has a responsibility to take some small part in running the country;
That means not just showing up once every couple of years to vote a party line without knowing what the issues are but attending town & even state level meetings at the town halls & state capitol.

What are You going to do to change the "defeatist" attitude that is running rampant in our state?

What are You going to do to help #FlipTheGeneralAssembly ?

Why were there UnContested Races in CT in 2016?

I originally wrote this post in 2016 but have you noticed any changes to speak of in CT Politics?

Have the RTCs dedicated themselves towards actually doing some things differently? 

Maybe even starting with the leadership of those RTCs; is there stagnation or a general malaise due to needing to update the local party with new ideas?

Have the campaigns started working TOGETHER instead of only working with "the sure winner" as an attempt to grow the party in CT like is being done in other parts of the country?

Below is what I originally wrote in 2016... are things improving as we look ahead to next week and next year?

The Russian's Fault? "Hillary's America" Trailer

With all of the talk in the news about the "Russians" being at fault for Hillary losing the race last year;

I honestly wonder if more of the blame could be placed upon this movie by Dinesh D'Souza? "Hillary's America" was released in the theaters in the early summer with the dvd in the retail stores like WalMart & Target in late September or early October. 

Were documentaries like that and "Clinton Cash" released for free on the internet more directly responsible for the 2016 losses of the democrats?

Did you see the movie "Hillary's America"? 

Did you share the movie or "Clinton Cash" with friends and family when the movies and dvds came out?

Blacks voting and supporting Trump

Have you been checking YouTube for examples of who is & who is not supporting the presidential candidates this year?

More importantly asking the question WHY Should You Support a Candidate, look past the party & start looking at the issues that they say they support & 

1) Ask does the policy plan "sound good"?

2) Then ask the big questions of "How will it be paid for?"

3) Can YOU Afford to pay for it because Nothing is FREE

The Donald Trump video every Jew MUST watch!

Although this video was made by a Jewish man speaking to his fellow Jews, I think this is a video which everyone must watch 

While watching ask yourselves who are YOU listening to & have you actually done any research on the issues or the man?

Have a Happy ELECTION DAY Party!

These career politicians are well funded & working hard to keep their positions of power over us.
We are working towards bringing some sanity to our crazy capitol hill.

Do they think we all have money trees growing in our yards?

Taxes are hurting us as we pay increased prices for everything now to start with but on top of that our elected officials have added more taxes.
Oh they love to say it's just a little tax but it's slashing into our family budgets a thousand little slashes everyday.

We need YOUR Help to fight the career politicians in Hartford,

Mileage Tax Is Coming #HadEnough yet?

Hello Friends & Family both Near & Far; 

Yes I'm doing a repost of an earlier post because we're running out of time to qualify for CEP FUNDING this cycle

Have you #HadEnough yet?

I need your assistance to help STOP #MalloysMess with your word of mouth spreading the news about this new invasion into our families wallets!
My campaign is small compared to the goliath of the democrat machine that my opponent Eric Coleman has both in manpower & cash available to spend.

But we must not quit just because the odds are great & the fight is rough - I'm not a quitter & neither are you!
We must All do our part working together
to Fight the Good Fight,
Fighting Tooth & Nail,
Leaving It All On the Battlefield,
to #DefeatTheDemocrats

Gov. Malloy has thrown his support behind the Mileage Tax.

This is a perfect opportunity for those of you who are writers to send letters to the editor and social media posts & memes stating that you oppose the enactment of this tax.
We must educate our friends & neighbors & coworkers about what is going to happen to us

This not only is a new tax but also is an example of government being able to monitor its residents every move via the gps recording your every trip...
to the store, to practices & classes for your children &
on trips your friends & family around the state & country.

We MUST Defeat the democrats this November otherwise this tax WILL Go In Place!
As you drive around the rest of this week I challenge you to think about how much It Will Cost You once this new tax is put into place. Every trip to & from work, to the store for food or parts for the DIY project or trips to pick up the children to & from games & practices, to church ...
EVERY TRIP Taxed by the Mile... Dannel & the Democrats will know where you've gone the route you took to get there & that is in addition to the nation's 3rd highest gas tax in the nation!!!

We are losing our freedoms daily & we MUST not sit home crumbling over dinner, 
We MUST Stand Up & Say NO MORE! 
We MUST Vote out the #TaxingTyranny

I NEED Your Help TODAY

Tapped - Water Wars in CT Now

This movie - documentary is a must watch by those whose water is coming from the MDC...

Niagara water will be affecting not just the wells in Bloomfield as it takes out the water from the water shed in that area 

but will also be removing the water from the MDC Reservoir so that our families will be paying more money for the water 
The water bottling plant is planning to make our families end up on water restrictions as this company breaks the natural water cycle. 

This is where Man Made Droughts come from... they used to teach about the water cycle in public schools - water comes down in rain, pools the extra not used by the plants & slowly evaporates into the sky & when enough water vapor is in the clouds to make them heavy the rain is released again

Not even mentioning the pollution that will occur as this plant plans to make plastic bottles right there at the facility they plan to build. 

If you want to protect the water that is OURS then you need to get active & start attending some of these town meetings & demand that the MDC Town Rep be held accountable. Demand that the MDC Town Rep report to your town council what is happening Each & Every Month not yearly or even quarterly but each & every month. So that your family is protected from this corporate attempt to steal our water.

August Wolf 01/14/2016 Part 1

August Wolf is running for US Senate against Richard #NoBlumenWay Blumenthal
He met with several citizens from various parts of the state to answer their questions in January.


Augie is a father of 4 teenage children & he is looking to make CT & the USA a better place for his children who are in high school & college.

 Currently he is the only Announced Candidate that has filed the paperwork to run.

There is a "Draft Jack" campaign for Jack Orchulli to run after Larry Kudlow said that he has decidd he will not run for the office this year.

Joe Visconti has filed the paperwork for "Exploratory" but hasn't announced that he is officially running yet.

There is the strong possibility that State Rep Dan Carter will be throwing his hat in the ring to run for the seat, he has stated that he will not run for re-election of his current seat.

We hope to be able to speak to the other candidates as they officially announce they have filed the paperwork to run. Those who are willing to meet with us will be recorded & posted as this interview session here has been.

It is important to ask the candidates questions & understand their positions to determine if you should be giving them your vote in the primaries & general election.

Tax Increases in CT Chases Away Jobs

Many jobs are being lost in CT when companies declare layoffs. 
When looking at which branches & offices to close or consolidate the bottomline is that the companies do what is best for them.

To cut expenses they shut the doors of the CT locations because economically for them it makes sense to leave a state with high taxes & high costs to do business.

We have very few actual small business owners, farmers & working class people in our elected offices now so the elected officials have no interest in caring how their increasing taxes hurts not just the economy but the entire state of CT.

The elected officials do not seem to care that as those who have the ability to leave are doing so at an alarming rate while there is no decrease in the number of people who need public services that are funded by the taxpaying businesses & working families.

At some point in the very near future there just will not be the taxpayer base to pay for all of the services or the special projects that the elected have forced us into.

We are very near that point as it is but CT has been borrowing money to pay it's bills... 
What happens when CT will no longer be extended credit?
How will CT pay it's bills?

Will the democrats in office that keep adding more mouths to feed to our state welfare rolls start pitting the citizen welfare recipient against the refugee & illegal welfare recipients who are given more rights than those who have been here since slave days?
