GREETINGS PATRIOTS

Most of the news this week was about President Obama. More and more evidence piles up discounting the apparent con job referred to as Global Warming.  http://www.climatedepot.com/2013/08/09/major-danish-daily-newspaper-warns-globe-may-be-on-path-to-little-ice-agemuch-colder-wintersdramatic-consequences/

The president hopes to relieve the pressure on Democrats in Congress who would not in all good conscience vote to impose draconian energy-related taxes and regulations on businesses and the American People. Obama is going to allow the EPA to take action on its own without Congress because he cannot afford to force Democrats in Congress to vote on climate change legislation, which is anti-union, anti-jobs and an economy killer.  http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/aug/14/climate-change-obama-epa-plan-action-sans-congress/

A month ago we witnessed Senators Blumenthal and Murphy acknowledge this fact at the LOB.  http://youtu.be/QbCVvZUAyUA

The American people are awakening at an even greater pace. Have a global warming rally day.  http://freebeacon.com/ofa-gets-zero-attendance-for-climate-change-rally/

The President’s action by-passing Congress is another crime added to the dozens of other intentional misadventures, misdeeds and insults that now overwhelmingly provide clear evidence of the urgency for his impeachment. If the Republicans had a backbone, the procedure would already be underway. They are fearful of leading what is a necessary act because Democrats in the Senate are stuck on stupid, and would support Obama even if he were Jeffrey Dahmer.

Obama is an embarrassment to America. http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/08/russia_makes_a_fool_out_of_obama_over_and_over.html

Is the American military under orders to help protect the drugs that might kill their own sons and daughters back home?   http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-spoils-of-war-afghanistan-s-multibillion-dollar-heroin-trade/91

OBAMACARE is the incurable cancer that must be de-funded! Nobody should be exempted from its potential rampage. Allowing waivers to a selected few is clearly unconstitutional. http://freebeacon.com/ofa-gets-zero-attendance-for-climate-change-rally/

The Affordable Care Act is settled law. A president can’t retroactively alter it without Congress acting.

Sarah Palin was mocked when she keenly deduced that Obamacare secreted “death panels”. Now the truth is revealed. http://youngcons.com/sarah-palin-was-right-oregon-denies-chemotherapy-to-medicaid-patients-with-less-than-two-years-to-live/

Is it any wonder why a new grass roots movement sprang to life this summer!
The Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment phenomenon is exploding all across America. The main stream media has successfully suppressed most reports of it so far.

There are people who voted twice for Obama standing long hours on Overpasses holding Impeach Obama signs. Unimaginable last year. You may wish to join me and hundreds of other patriots in the CT Group.https://www.facebook.com/groups/449760198456036/474051162693606/?ref=notif&notif_t=like

It’s a closed group to avoid disrupters and trolls. If you receive this email you will be given “Obamacare” preferential treatment.

Saturday, August 17, is the next “Patriot Wave” of demonstrations. We are planning protests on highway overpasses in Norwalk, Derby, Trumbull, New Haven, Westbrook, Griswold, Waterbury, and Windsor Locks so far. You can come to one already organized or start your own. Join the Face Book page or reply to this email.

There is a highly reliable rumor that a former Rodeo Clown from Missouri will be attending the New Haven rally on the Howard Avenue Overpass off Exit 44 on I-95 near Long Wharf. He’s got something to say and we will not ban his right to free speech and humor.

The Connecticut Citizens Defense League is Connecticut’s premier gun rights advocacy group. If you cherish the Bill of Rights, whether you’re one of the 500,000 law-abiding gun owners in the state or not, you should join this group now. That number is astounding. This group as individuals may one day soon control the fate of politics in Connecticut ~ in 2014 and beyond.  Chris Healy’s blog details the potential.

Consider your best interests and help CCDL finance its historic lawsuit against Malloy and his gun-grabbing band of feckless mercenaries in the General Assembly.

Second District Representative Joe Courtney is tentatively hosting a town hall meeting in Willimantic next Thursday, Aug. 22. He plans to scare the elderly at the Senior Center from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. If he commits we will be there to document the event and to recruit patriots. If you are self-employed and live nearby (hint) it would take only three hours out of your daily schedule. Joe has been reluctant to meet his constituents ever since his faux pas recorded here: http://youtu.be/R3ZbXie65ds

And watch Rep. Jim Himes (4th district) when we ask him over a year ago, where is Joe. http://youtu.be/r4U-6gY62ks

From time to time a political activist must seek the solace of a day off and some fun. We were invited fishing a week ago in West Haven. Sometimes you just can’t let go. Enjoy.  http://youtu.be/2zaUHfIBqWU

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)

Guestblog: Reaction to HBO documentary on Petit Family Tragedy

Below is a guestblog by former CT Republican party chariman Christopher Healy of Wetherfield. Former Republican State Senator Len Suzio worked tirelessly to repeal the state's early release program for violence criminals, as as state victim advocate still is. His predecessor, Dante Bartolomeo (D) now representing the 13th District which includes Cheshire, voted to continue early release of violent criminals as did Representative Matt Lesser (D). Representative Matt Lesser, who represents Middletown, in addition to continuing the early release program, also voted in favor of House Bill 6521 which would allow murders, rapists, kidnappers and other violent criminals convicted before the age of 18 to be released after only having served 60% of their sentences.

After watching the dreadful HBO special on the Petit tragedy, I am grounded in appreciating the continued strength and courage of the Petit and Hawke families. Sadly, that can't be said of the parasitic defense lawyers featured in this documentary or some of the hidden, twisted liberal social excuses for the motivation of the two killers. But the chicken *hit award still goes to the Democrat and Republican lawmakers who waited until after the trials to abolish the Death Penalty and then claim that these two derelicts and agents of Evil would still be sent to their deserved death.

And of course, there is Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who hedged his bets during the campaign by talking out of two sides of his mouth, before claiming Connecticut was above seeking justice in such a cruel way. And to put a perfect period on it, Malloy has initiated an early convict release program that led to a re-run of what happened to the Petit's - a Meriden father and merchant cut in half by a convict named "Razor," also let loose early as were the Petit killers under a dysfunctional Pardon's Board.

This is what our state has become - where the lawless and lazy are rewarded and the hard working are soaked with taxes and ridiculed by the union things and elites. Some of us believe that government isn't the answer and shouldn't be held accountable for its lunatic policies.

Next year, thankfully, we will begin to talk to people across the state on why this slow swirl into the abyss has to stop.

Winsley Withdraws from CT GOP Chair Election

Wayne Winsley

In a letter to the State Central Committee, candidate for GOP party chairman Wayne Winsley withdrew himself from the race Sunday. 
Just this evening via facebook and his twitter page, former GOP party chair Chris Healy gave a statement that he is not considering a run:

"Thank you to the many Connecticut Republicans who offered kind words of encouragement and support. While I am humbled the attention and respectful of their request, I am not going to pursue the leadership of our Republican Party Tuesday. But I will be out there with you doing what I can to show the voters that we have the ideas, the experience and the guts to lead our state back to greatness. Congratulations to Chairman Jerry Labriola and his team. United, there is nothing we can't accomplish."

Candidate Ron Wilcox remains in the race and the vote will take place tomorrow. Wilcox is challenging incumbent  Jerry Labriola Jr..

Candidate Ron Wilcox

Winsley's letter is below:
----------------------------
Sunday June 23rd 2013

Dear State Central Committee members,

When I announced my candidacy for Republican Party Chairman, I did so with the belief that I am the candidate best suited to serve and work with the State Central Committee in addressing some of the most pressing concerns and challenges facing our great party at this time. 
All of those concerns that compelled me to seek the Chairmanship still exist and are just as valid today as they were on June 14th when I announced my candidacy.

• Improving the perception of our party in the minds of Connecticut voters.

• Communicating our traditional Republican values and principles to the current generation in a manner that is applicable to the current generation.

• Delivering our message to all corners of the state and to all voters of the state.

• Uniting and energizing our traditional base and all of the varying points of view beneath the Republican banner and moving forward as a team.

If these concerns are not addressed quickly and decisively, our great state and the wonderful and hard-working citizens that call Connecticut home will bear the brunt of our failure.

The stakes are far too high to risk fragmenting our great party with a four-way race for Chairman.

With that in mind, I immediately withdraw my name from consideration as next Chairman of Connecticut’s Republican Party.

Of the remaining candidates for Republican Party Chair, the person that I believe will be most effective in fostering the conditions necessary for Republican victory is Jerry Labriola Jr.

Based on my own due diligence and conversations with Chairman Labriola, I believe that our current Chairman is ready and determined to move forward with a new energy and vigor to address those pressing concerns which necessitated my entry into the chairman race and all of the other challenges ahead.

I look forward to working hand-in-hand with our Chairman and the state Central Committee.

I immediately release all of those State Central Committee members who have worked tirelessly on my behalf and pledged their support and their vote to me.

I urge the State Central Committee members to conduct all due diligence, deliberate with great care, and cast your vote for the remaining candidate who will most effectively address those concerns listed above and who will be best able to work with the committee to accomplish our mission which is to elect Republican candidates on the local, state, and federal levels.

I stand by ready, willing, and able to contribute all that I have to that effort.

Thank you and I look forward to working with you to help get Republican candidates elected in Connecticut.
Wayne Winsley
