Guest Blog: Middletown Malloy Town Hall Meeting Was a Hoax

  Below is a guest blog sent as a letter to the Editor from resident Gail Whitwright. The essay reflects views and opinions not necessarily shared by the Insider staff, and is published as a courtesy to readers. Last week, Gov. Dannel Malloy came to Middletown for a one hour Town Hall style meeting at City Hall. Mayor Dan Drew was the MC. Many citizens who attended have expressed their disappointment to us at the brevity and the format of the the meeting which when publicized sounded more like it would be an open forum. Local media reported that those in attendance were invited to write down questions which were then pre-screened- by Malloy staffers and from which random questions were selected.  In his blog "Red Notes from a Blue State," write Don Pesci discusses this occurrence in his post titled " How to Pre-Edit a Town Hall Meeting." The Mess did an article in which the reported mentioned former Democratic Town Committee Chair  & current Registrar of Voters Lisa Santangelo asked about the repeal of the local car tax, however upon answering, Malloy gave no in mention of the proposed state car tax that is currently on the legislative floor.

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS I HAVE HAD MY RIGHT OF “FREEDOM OF SPEECH” STOPPED AT THREE DIFFERENT MEETINGS – OR SO CALLED “TOWNHALL” MEETINGS – THE DEFINITION OF WHICH STATES “EVERY BODY IN A TOWN COMMUNITY IS INVITED TO ATTEND AND VOICE THEIR OPINIONS” – IN EACH MEETING I AM USUALLY THE FIRST TO ARRIVE SO I CAN “SIGN UP” TO SPEAK –  AT MALLOYS “MEETING” IN MIDDLETOWN -   WE WERE TOLD WE COULD “WRITE A QUESTION” WHICH, OF COURSE, IS SCREENED – THE STOIC ATMOSPHERE OF COMPLIANCE  WAS FURTHER COMPOUNDED BY GUARDS WHICH I CALL THE “SQUEECH SQUAD” SO PEOPLE WON’T DARE  SPEAK UP – I WAS TOLD BY MALLOY THAT “HE WAS SPEAKING NOW” AND DAN DREW TOLD ME TO BE POLITE (WHICH IN DEMOCRAT LANGUAGE MEANS WE TALK BUT YOU CAN’T) – WELL DANNY  – IT IS MY CONSTITUTIONAL  RIGHT TO SPEAK – THE WHOLE THING WAS A HOAX…KIND OF LIKE THE ELECTION

AT CHRIS MURPHY IN NEW LONDON ON SATURDAY – THE SAME OPPRESSIVE PROCEDURE WAS USED – WE WERE ALLOWED TO “WRITE A QUESTION” WHICH WERE SCREENED AND READ BY HIS PEOPLE (I WAS TOLD MY QUESTION WOULD BE USED AND NEVER WAS) – AFTER LISTENING TO HIS SELF PROMOTING LECTURE  FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF (ZZZZZZZZZZZZ) – WE WERE BULLIED BY THE GROUP FROM WOODSTOCK ON HOW RUDE WE WERE BECAUSE WE ACTUALLY HAD THE AUDACITY TO SPEAK OUT DURING THE PROPAGANDA SESSION – AGAIN THE WHOLE THING WAS A HOAX…

AT ESTYS TOWNHALL MEETING – WE WERE TOLD WE COULD “WRITE A QUESTION” – ULTIMATELY I SPOKE BUT WAS GIVEN THE BUMS RUSH BY THE STAFF MEMBER – WE ARE FIGHTING FOR THE SECOND AMENDMENT AND NOW WE ARE FIGHTING FOR THE FIRST AMENDMENT AS WELL…THEY DO NOT WANT THE TRUTH TO COME OUT…

I WANT TO SPEAK BECAUSE I WANT TO TELL AMERICANS THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS LET IN 2 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS AND EVERY DAY 25 AMERICANS ARE KILLED AND 8 AMERICAN CHILDREN ARE ASSAULTED

I WANT TO SPEAK BECAUSE I WANT TO TELL AMERICANS THAT POLITICIANS IN CONNECTICUT, TO ADVANCE THEIR SELF-PROMOTING STANCE, HAVE MADE CONNECTICUT A WELFARE HAVEN WHICH HAS DESTOYED EVERY CITY IN CONNECTICUT

I WANT TO SPEAK BECAUSE I WANT TO TELL AMERICANS HAVING SANCTUARY CITIES SUCH AS NEW HAVEN FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS (WHICH IS AGAINST FEDERAL LAW) WHO WERE GIVEN LICENSES LAST WEEK BY THE MAYOR JOHN DESTEFANO AS THEY WERE  GIVEN INSTATE  TUTION BY MALLOY -  ONE OF ILLEGALS  WAS GIVEN A RIDE HOME AFTER WORK FROM A WAITRESS FROM HAMDEN AND WHO THANKED HER BY RAPING HER, BEATING  HER AND LEAVING HER FOR DEAD

I WANT TO SPEAK SO I CAN TELL AMERICANS THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION WANTS GUN CONFISCATION NOT GUN CONTROL

I WANT TO SPEAK SO I CAN TELL AMERICANS THAT 170 MILLION PEOPLE WERE MURDERED THROUGHOUT HISTORY BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DEFEND THEMSELVES

I WANT TO SPEAK SO I CAN TELL AMERICANS THAT 8,650 TIMES A DAY ARMED AMERICANS DEFEND THEM

I WANT TO SPEAK SO I CAN TELL AMERICANS OUR COUNTRY IS IN MORTAL DANGER

MY HEART HURTS…WAKE UP AMERICA! – NOT ONLY IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT  -   AMERICANS ARE DYING FOR THAT  RIGHT AS WE SPEAK…

We can't expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism,
but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism,
until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism."
