GREETINGS
PATRIOTS
The Overpasses for Obama's
Impeachment (O4OI) movement keeps
rolling through Connecticut. Last Friday, Oct. 11, we didn't attract a large
group of protesters, but we did provoke 10,000 positive responses from 50,000
motorists. For three full hours our signs and flags dominated Interstate 95 in
New Haven. Watch it at this link. http://www.youtube.com/
We're planning another event at this
location before the end of October, probably on a Saturday. If you're not
working on a local election campaign you might like to share a bridge with
several dozen of your friends. To follow the movement in Connecticut, join up on
Face Book. https://www.facebook.com/
562 MEMBERS
As you see, the group is up to 562 members. We're
anticipating a 10% turnout. We will choose a day very soon. The larger the group
of participants, the bigger the response from the interstate. If you know a
great place with high visibility, heavy traffic, close-by parking and wide, safe
sidewalks, make note and post a picture. We've stood out at over a dozen
different sites since we began on August 6. The greatest joy is when motorists
pull over and park and come to join us.
We have made contact with Channel 3 and Channel 30 out
of Hartford. Both outfits arrived late yesterday at the Million Vets March – CT
in Newington at the Iwo Jima Memorial. We were asked to provide video and we
acceded. Fox made it on time. If we can organize a large rally at the Howard
Avenue overpass, there are four TV stations that might cover
it.
–-----------------------------
OVER 100 Veterans and their
friends assembled at the Iwo Jima
Memorial yesterday at 9 AM.
Middletown resident, Gail Whitright, the founder of Proposition USA, hosted a
dedication to all Veterans, and especially in solidarity with the Vets who
stormed the National Monuments in Washington DC to set them free. For those who
missed the event, we recorded it.
–-----------------------------
LAST SATURDAY
we joined a couple dozen volunteers who helped campaign for the Plymouth
Republicans. We hiked our designated routes for four hours in a literature drop,
hitting a huge chunk of the Republicans and Unaffiliated, as well as some
Democrats. Nine of the volunteers live outside Plymouth. Patrick came all the
way from East Haddam to help.
MARK
GREENBERG, the
5th
district congressional candidate brought a boost as well as State Rep. Whit
Betts. Seems like the Plymouth/Terryville Republicans are running to win this
time. With three weeks remaining before Election Day, we urge everyone to get
out and volunteer. If you don't have a favorite in your town, reply, and we will
send you to help a conservative grass roots candidate you can believe
in.
–-----------------------------
WEST HAVEN
One of those towns of interest is West Haven. The
Democrats are bifurcated, running against themselves. Mayor Picard, who was
ousted in a primary, has decided not to give up and is running a write-in
campaign against his party's choice.
CLICK to continue:
Meanwhile, Bart
Chadderton is pushing ahead positively in a town that is registered 5-1
Democrat. It was in a mirror image scenario that the last Republican won in West
Haven. The town is slipping. New leadership and a new spirit is its only
salvation.
We also like
Jessica
Chiong who is running for
Board of Education. Jessica helps administer the Face Book page, Stop Common
Core in CT https://www.facebook.com/
Please help these wonderful people. And
watch them in person at the West Haven Republican Headquarters grand opening
last Thursday. Republicans may be conservative, but they are all heart!

BRISTOL
Last Tuesday night we attended the Bristol City Council
meeting to support Shawn Ruest who you could label the city's
watch dog patriot. Shawn is not running this year, but his wisdom might be a
future benefit to another Connecticut town in decline. Shawn spoke about the
plans to turn downtown Bristol into some kind of renaissance center. Low income
subsidized housing is not the magic wand of prosperity.
With an energetic election campaign
underway, it looks like Shawn stirred up some hornets last week. He was
reprimanded for apparently injecting an unwanted issue at this stage of the
campaign. We don't know all the details. We do know however, that
WE were not the most popular fellows in
town that night. Here's Shawn. http://youtu.be/bHL7rBYGsRo
Shawn had all he could do NOT to say those naughty
words, AGENDA 21
PROJECT.
If you would like to support Shawn in future meetings or
speak yourself, whether you're a Bristol resident or not, please contact me.
Agenda 21 and common core are not good for any town or
city.

WINDHAM
Tuesday Oct. 15 7 PM Franco American Club 116 Club
Road.
6 PM is Common
Core.
7 PM is Property
Rights
Dave Kopacz. Come when you can.
If you're late, no big deal, just come right in and have
a seat.
Flyer attached.
(We might attend)
------------------------------
STEVE LONEGAN
in New Jersey might hit a home run. The special Election for the seat vacated by
the late US Senator Frank Lautenberg is on Wednesday Oct. 16. Lonegan was down
in the polls almost 30 points in mid summer, but has caught fire of late, now
registering less than 10 points down. If a Tea Party conservative wins in New
Jersey, Democrats will be committing hari kari. Here's a video I shot of Lonegan
at a Tea Party rally in Pomona, NY exactly two years ago tomorrow.

–-----------------------------
This evening we will be in Stamford
documenting Trevor
Loudon's visit to Connecticut
on his book tour. We will present him with a Dump Dodd t-shirt. Probably won't
be home until near midnight, but watch for a couple
photos.

It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate,
tireless minority keen to set brush
fires in people's minds. (Samuel
Adams)
