If indeed the development is not focal to low income housing, the city
will be in breach of planning agreement and subject to litigation " or other
legal proceedings designed to require compliance with the statute, regulations,
any terms or conditions of this award agreement, or other pertinent
authorities." Secretary Shaun Donovan has promised "HUD is enhancing its
enforcement techniques by initiating investigations on our own. There are no
stones we won’t turn. There are no places we won’t go."
With Bristol having sought Sustainable Communities Green Streets grants in the past year and no physical record of receiving them, it is unclear whether the planing is indeed under direct request of town officials or through this regional planning agency. Nonetheless, an unidentified windfall grant has arrived for zoning regulation purposes with the intent to force "blighted" properties in the downtown out to make room for open space (parking spots). Every aspect of smartgrowth is moving forward. This is indeed Agenda 21."

TED CRUZ
Congressman John Larson was trying so hard to sell
Obamacare for the umpteenth time to his own loyal constituents Sunday that he
forgot what state he was in. Perhaps he was daydreaming about the stories good
pal Chris Dodd recently recounted about tinsel town. Anyway, our video was
picked up by the Hartford Courant blog. Now more people can make fun of old
John.
JOHN LARSON
This is our first newsletter in two weeks. Our
5-year old computer workhorse, Blumybyter, kicked the bucket list. All the data
was saved. And future videos will all be in High Definition. More time consuming
but much better quality. Better for TV. To view most of the Larson town hall
meeting (a work in progress) follow this link to see how desperate the Democrats
are.

AR FERNANDEZ
One of the videos we were unable to share last
week was with our good friend, AR Fernandez in Middletown. AR is running for
common council (city council). His nickname is indicative of the intensity with
which he would guard our freedoms in his town or your town. Contact his campaign
after you watch his story. There is no limit on the number of volunteers Angel
would welcome.

PATTIE DEHUFF AND BILL HEERING
Watch our interviewing skills put to the task.

CHESHIRE REPUBLICANS
Last Friday we were invited to the 27th
annual Cheshire RTC Pasta Dinner. Great food and best friends. Here's what a
successful fundraiser looks like. This is why the CRTC is at the top of local
Conservative political action committees.
The tall man in the red shirt is John Pepper,
current vice chair of the Cheshire Republican town committee. Few people
recognize John as a Connecticut legend. After attending the April 15, 2009
Hartford Tea Party, John returned home and started the first weekly Tea Party in
America. In Connecticut. The group assembled every Monday for over two years
without missing a day due to rain, heat, snow or cold. The history of
Connecticut's Tea Party movement is nearing five years. Pepper's Patriots are
alive and well. http://youtu.be/7Yx9VDCQtOs

Local elections are
revving up to full speed in this last month before November 5. We urge everyone
who can invest a couple hours or more each week, either in the evenings or on
the weekends to select a candidate to support and volunteer. If you don't know a
good conservative running, contact me here or on Face Book and I'll try to match
you up.
Jessica Chiong, the anti-common core leader needs
help in west Haven. She's running for BOE. We will be campaigning for Bill
Heering and Pattie DeHuff in Plymouth/Terryville for several hours next
Saturday, Oct. 12. followed by a pizza party.

BRISTOL
There's an Agenda 21 plan trying to be sneaked by
Bristol's citizens. Some of our friends will speak out against it tomorrow night
at the regular City council Meeting. Here's a link to the meeting.
And a short description of the plan from local
Bristol activist Shawn Ruest.
"Along with these planning grants come
stipulations. Pursuant to Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of
1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701u) and HUD’s implementing regulations at 24 CFR part 135,
the Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program shall, to the
greatest extent feasible, be directed to low-and very low-income persons.
According to Bristol officials, the development adjacent to the rail is to be
for an upscale transit oriented development and a private developer is investing
in the structure, contrary to indications on their site that they actively seek
federal funds.
With Bristol having sought Sustainable Communities Green Streets grants in the past year and no physical record of receiving them, it is unclear whether the planing is indeed under direct request of town officials or through this regional planning agency. Nonetheless, an unidentified windfall grant has arrived for zoning regulation purposes with the intent to force "blighted" properties in the downtown out to make room for open space (parking spots). Every aspect of smartgrowth is moving forward. This is indeed Agenda 21."
Come as a
supporter, spectator or participant. The public participation is early into the
meeting.

OVERPASSES FOR OBAMA'S IMPEACHMENT
(O4OI)
Friday, Oct. 11 from 3-6 PM
Howard Ave, Overpass New Haven
100 Howard Ave.
And this is the day the truckers are headed to
Washington DC.
---------------------------
And if you don't like what President Obama is
doing to punish rural America in his “spoiled brat” temper tantrum, add your
voice to this group. There will be truckers and Veterans converging on
Washington DC Sunday October 13. Might be the next Lexington.
–-----------------------------
There's lots more happening. If you know of an
event or issue in your town that might interest the grass roots Liberty
movement, send it in and we will help get it published.
–-----------------------------
NATIONAL STRIKE
We are about to witness the first attempt at a
National Strike. The truckers are going down to shut down Washington. The
Veterans are converging to free the national monuments. We can participate by
refraining from commerce this weekend. Stock up on all your necessities before
Friday.
Don't make any purchases Friday Saturday and
Sunday. This is a test run. If it is successful it will be repeated.
–-----------------------------
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)
Pass the matches or get out of the
