A Message from Robert Hyde, Candidate for US Senate

  Hello,


This is Robert Hyde. I am currently running in the 2022 Connecticut U.S. Senatorial race. I am running against Senator Blumenthal, who has been a pro-inflation, bad for the economy, anti-Bill of Rights, five-time Vietnam draft dodging communist that has lied about his service since the sixties.

I served honorably in Iraq in the Marines in 2003.

My opponent has a 0% rating with Right to Life, the NRA, and the Farm Bureau just to name a few.

Frankly, we cannot allow someone like Dick to continue to serve in the Senate.

With the help of supporters like you, we can end his career this November and take back a solid majority in the House.

I would love a chance to introduce myself to your members and you if you will host me. I have attached my website and social media links for reference.

Respectfully, please give me just 5-7 minutes of your time for a call in the next week or two to discuss my Senatorial campaign.

If you do not want to schedule a call, please call me anytime directly on my cell at 8608393979.

Please know that your support will make the winning difference for our campaign, and I will always be grateful to you.

Thank you for your consideration, God Bless!

CCDL Testimony Event!

 Come Join Us & Protect Your Rights!



Come join us in our All Day, All Night Open House with Public Testimony!  Come be with friends and get support from the CCDL team and testify via Zoom against the gun bills in Judiciary.

Here's what you need to know:
  • Folks have until 3pm on Sunday to sign up to give Zoom testimony on Monday. It is important that they see our faces and hear our voices! The other side uses emotion and the connection to a real human is invaluable! Testimonies are only 3 minutes long and can be done from anywhere! Sign up  here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ql66Qt7tTCGANmR2QRDQ5w
  • People who cannot be on Zoom can submit written testimony until 8am on Monday by emailing it to judtestimony@cga.ct.gov 
  • On Monday, CCDL has rented out the Naugatuck Event Center for 24 hours to make sure everyone who wants to be together or needs a hand getting into the Zoom has help. It's an open house for all and we will be providing food and beverages plus some free raffles (not fundraising) to keep it engaging. Any shop or instructor who would like to put up a table is welcome between 8-4 in the big room downstairs. At 4 we will move to the upstairs space where people will be a little cozier for a long evening of waiting their turn. Much of the daytime is often taken up by public officials who speak first so we expect our members come more so in the early afternoon into evening. The address is 6 Rubber Ave Naugatuck.
Here are the resources recapping the bills as well as what to include in testimony:
