GREED AND IRRESPONSIBILITY

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 07:50:17 -0500

The following is from the Barack Obama campaign.

The era of greed and irresponsibility on Wall Street and in Washington has created a financial crisis as profound as any we have faced since the Great Depression.

Congress and the President are debating a bailout of our financial institutions with a price tag of $700 billion or more in taxpayer dollars. We cannot underestimate our responsibility in taking such an enormous step.

Whatever shape our recovery plan takes, it must be guided by core principles of fairness, balance, and responsibility to one another.

Democrats take time to look at an issue

Fri, 04 Jan 2008 08:12:11 -0600

Suzanne Manning and the Democrats should be acknowledged and appreciated for taking the time to look at the issues surrounding the re-opening of the OTB establishment. I don't see the downside to fact finding and allowing public comment and involvement before votes are cast. Additionally, pausing to reflect upon where Milford's revenues originate and the ramifications of accepting those sources is responsible leadership.

WATCH Channel 12 Debate

Sat, 15 Sep 2007 14:22:00 -0500

Our wonderful Democratic Candidate for Mayor of Milford, Kerri T. Rowland, was in Norwalk yesterday with the current Mayor for a mini-debate. Focus on CT, hosted by Tom Appleby, moderated the Channel 12 debate. Check below for the scheduled times remaining this weekend:

Why?

Fri, 06 Apr 2007 15:34:22 -0500

I found the Board of Education's vote and subsequent press conference regarding the new Superintendent of Schools in Milford disingenuous because it appeared to be a done deal. Transparency, disclosure and encouragement of citizen participation is the basis of good government. One question I'd like answered is if the New Haven Register knew Dr. Polansky's name prior to the vote and press conference, why didn't they question this investigation at the press conference, if not before?

"Concurrent Resolution on the President's Escalation Plan

Watch "60 Minutes" Tonight

Sun, 14 Jan 2007 08:34:15 -0600

Raw Story reports:

In an interview set to air on this Sunday's 60 Minutes, President George W. Bush vows to send an additional 21,500 troops to Iraq "no matter what" the Democratic-controlled Congress tries to do.

The Worst that Could Happen?????

Tue, 09 Jan 2007 07:39:21 -0600

At the end of last week, John McCain and Joe Lieberman spoke at the neoconservative think tank group, The American Enterprise Institute regarding troop escalation in Iraq. Lieberman praised Bush as a "great leader" for bucking American opinion, as expressed in the 2006 election, in his determination to double down in Iraq. Lieberman then said something incredible:

UPDATE: "Appeal for Redress"

Mon, 08 Jan 2007 06:01:35 -0600

Some active-duty soldiers will be delivering an "Appeal for Redress" to Congress over the Martin Luther King holiday weekend.

The "Appeal for Redress" simply states:

"As a patriotic American proud to serve the nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to support the prompt withdrawal of all American military forces and bases from Iraq. Staying in Iraq will not work and is not worth the price. It is time for U.S. troops to come home."

A New Year's Resolution

Thu, 28 Dec 2006 10:12:25 -0600

When we're all deciding our New Year's Resolutions, we should also consider what we can do (individually and as a community) to reverse the devastating effects of global warming. Not being one to go to the movies often, I just saw An Inconvenient Truth on dvd. It is a powerful documentary about the causes and consequences of global warming. Not only does it demonstrate and lay out the facts of what CO2 emission's are doing to the environment, it does so in an understandable and relatable manner. Politicians, community leaders, educators, students, parents, clergy, business people, consumers...everyone should see this movie. Once we all see it, each of us can do our part to change the biggest challenge our planet is facing right now. Please don't dismiss An Inconvenient Truth as a political movie, it is a movie about humanity and the Earth. It effects us all.
