Agenda 21: How Will It Affect You?

What is Agenda 21 aka UNA21 aka UNA2030? 

How does it affect you, your family and you business? 

It sounds a little "Tin Foil Hatter", U.N. Agenda 21 but check it out for yourself after you watch this video....

I know when I first heard about it the person who was trying to explain it to me didn't exactly the best job in what it was nor how it could possibly affect me and my family... 

Now more than 20 years later I see what's going on and even have seen with my own eyes that the town which I live in has signed on to this destructive agenda.

Planning and Zoning meetings might not seem important to you; but this is one of many places where if you either watch online or attend the meetings you'll be able to  find out first hand where and how U.N. Agenda 21/2030 items are being forced upon property and business owners making our lives a whole lot more expensive while stifling our freedoms.

The Story Of Kwanzaa: From Civil Rights To Corporate America

Next week will be the start of the Kwanzaa celebration which starts on Dec 26th. Kwanzaa is an African-American holiday that is celebrated during the week after Christmas ending on New Years Day in many African-American communities.

It has been more of a Community Celebration than a Private Family Celebration for the majority of people that our family has known in these modern times. A time of reflection & respecting our elders & enjoying  our neighbors, community members, friends, blood family our wider circle of unrelated but we consider them to be family. 

The intent of the celebration is to encourage & instill positive values from the elders to the younger generations as well as foster a sense of belonging in the community. Many community celebrations have a marketplace area to not only buy items but additionally connect people with community services that they may have been unaware of.

Have you been to a Community Kwanzaa Celebration in your area?

The video below explains some of the history of Kwanzaa

Fwd: Malloy Budget Mess

URGENT ALERT!

I'm forwarding this press release from the 
CT GOP Chairman JR Romano 
because it's Very Important - URGENT
that you know what is coming in #MalloysMess

I've highlighted in Bold & Yellow the outrageous cuts that Malloy has in store for our families.

Urgent Action on your part is required: You need to Call the office of the governor and tell him that what he is planning is not acceptable and tell him to #StopHurtingFamilies

Once again this is an attack on our poor working families in CT! While the budget protects the cronies who got him elected; our families, our veterans, our seniors, our children are all under attack in this plan! Our most vulnerable who can't afford to send lots of money to the democrat election coffers are being attacked by these DANGEROUS Cuts.! 

Malloy is STEALING Our Taxes to pay off his Special Interest Groups and keep the special projects that benefit his crony friends! Malloy is clearly showing that he
  Does NOT CARE ABOUT OUR FAMILIES!! 

Another example of just how devoid of empathy and out of touch these democrats are in CT and across the land.

This is an announcement from the Connecticut Republican Party.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                               

CONTACT: J.R. Romano (info@ct.gop)

Dan Malloy's "Mini-Budget" Is A Slap in The Face For the People of Connecticut


HARTFORD –  After failing to build a consensus for a bipartisan budget deal to address the massive deficit caused by his disastrous tax-and-spend policies, Democrat governor Dan Malloy is putting forth<http://portal.ct.gov/Office-of-the-Governor/Press-Room/Press-Releases/2017/06-2017/Gov-Malloy-Releases-Detailed-July-1-Spending-Plan-Alongside-Proposed-Mini-Budget-Alternative> a "Resource Allocation Plan" to put in place with the expectation that he will not be able to pass a budget.

But while Malloy's plan protects his big union allies, it leaves the rest of Connecticut out to dry, making massive cuts to education funding, law enforcement, much needed aid for cities and towns across the state, and even ethics funding despite having himself been the subject of an investigation.

Here are just some of the main items for the most recent item of Dan Malloy's catastrophic agenda for Connecticut:

>   $7.4 million in cuts to Care4Kids TANF/CCDF

>   $14,804,521 in cuts to Temporary Family Assistance

>   $175,523 in cuts to the Election Enforcement Commission

>   $15,698 in cuts to the Office of State Ethics (B-9)

>   Eliminates property tax relief for veterans

>   $3,324,998 in cuts to the Division of Criminal Justice

>   Eliminates funding for Connecticut's Youth Employment Program and Opportunities for Long Term Unemployed

>   Eliminates funding for the Office of Protection and Advocacy for Persons with Disabilities

>   Eliminates Department of Social Services funding for Protective Services for the Elderly

>   Cuts $515,833,717 in Department of Education funding for Education Equalization Grants

>   Cuts $1,212,066 in Department of Education funding for the American School for the Deaf

>   Cuts $42,337,171 in Department of Education funding for priority school districts

>   Cuts $28,701,582 in funding for the University of Connecticut

>   Cuts $14,774,971 in funding for the University of Connecticut Health Center

>   Adds $278,267,000 in retirement contributions for the Teacher's Retirement Board

>   Increases spending on debt service by $304,937,812

>   Keeps $293,577,508 in reserve for salary adjustments

Senator Tony Hwang Interviews Champagne Joy

Senator Tony Hwang spent some time interviewing "Champagne Joy" about surviving cancer earlier this year.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month & I thought that this video was a positive message to end the month of September with a positive note from a survivor as we head into October. 

Will I see you wearing Pink this coming month?

Update - Gray State The Rise Rough Cut Directed by David Crowley

Director David Crowley & family had been killed but the documentary he was working on had been released by one of the people working on the project so the people can at least see what the rough cut looked like in case everything gets caught up in probate...


Update -  Sadly it has been taken down & is getting stuck in the courts, hope that you had the chance to watch it while it was available

Ask Questions Then Ponder the Answers Windsor Voters

I was watching the people who came in & went into the polling station in Windsor on Tuesday May 12th
& it was interesting to see just how many people who showed up to vote actually didn't even know why they were there & what the answers would mean if they made one of 2 choices

A YES vote = Higher Taxes due to the Board of Ed's Outrageous Spending

A No Vote = There has to be a new look at the budget by the Town Council & Board of Ed

Have you taken the time to look at the budget & question the items which the Board of Ed has  demanded for us to pay & asked "WHY"?

Do you know what our Board of Ed is spending the money on? Take a minute to consider what Jonathan Pelto (a democrat) has to say about what is happening across the state in regards to the expensive, abusive, experimental program called Common Core...
"So Connecticut parents and taxpayers;
When you are being abused or hearing about children and parents being abused and harassed for opting out of the unfair and discriminatory Common Core SBAC test or when you are paying more in taxes and watching important school programs and services cut, now that thanks to our elected and appointed  officials we are pissing away $100,000,000.00 a year forcing children to take a test that will tell us that students from rich families tend to do better and student from poor families tend to do worse on standardized tests."
http://jonathanpelto.com/2015/05/14/rich-do-better-poor-do-worse-step-right-up-and-try-your-luck-at-the-sbac-test/

Can you afford an out of control Board of Ed that spends money without consideration of the costs for both our taxpaying families now but also in the future 3, 5 even 10 years down the road?

Can you afford to allow an out of control Board of Ed to experiment with your children's education with implementing programs that do not work & are profiting big corporations but giving our children a substandard education as is being proven time & again with the common core nt only here in Windsor but across the nation?

Can you afford to not start asking questions about why the Board of Ed so divided & why the democrats are refusing to answer the questions that the republican BoE members are asking?

Can you afford to keep granting more & more money to the Board of Ed when they are mismanaging the money they already been given over the years?

If you are tired of paying more & more in taxes while not seeing results in education & reductions in town services then it is time for you to call the town hall & tell them to #StopTheOutOfControlBoardOfEd & make cuts to the budget on the Board of Ed side of the budget & Vote NO until we have a Zero Based Budget that clearly states where the money is being spent & explains exactly where the money is going

Democrat Rep.: "Have you looked at euthanasia?"

The democrat party is the party of death and destruction... How can a person that is claiming Christ remain in the current democrat party ...
