Turn Off the TV

In case you haven't noticed, the news media is currently in a frenzy when it comes to the Presidential race. With less than 24 hours before the polls open we are hearing the "polls may be wrong", and even that people will "riot" if the election goes the wrong way.

Play your part. Get informed.

Turn off the TV. Go online and find out who else is running for election in Milford. The Democratic Party candidates' websites are shown on the left. They all have phone numbers - call them with any questions. Really.

There are also two questions on the top of the ballot. Question #1 is the most controversial.

Shall there be a Constitutional Convention to amend or revise the constitution of the State?

Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz, State Treasurer Denise Nappier, and Comptroller Nancy Wyman all urge you to VOTE NO.

Keep the Constitution of Connecticut safe from lobbyists and extremists who hope to overturn equal rights in the Connecticut.

Vote for Obama: A Conservative Columnist Speaks Out

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 21:30:49 -0400

McCain lacks the character and temperament to be president. And Palin is simply a disgrace.
By Christopher Hitchens - slate.com
Posted Monday, Oct. 13, 2008, at 10:44 AM ET

The difference in character and temperament has become plainer by the day, and there is no decent way of avoiding the fact.

The son of William F. Buckley has decided to vote for a Democrat.

Let me be the latest conservative/libertarian/whatever to leap onto the Barack Obama bandwagon. It’s a good thing my dear old mum and pup are no longer alive. They’d cut off my allowance.

Local Celebrity Meets Vice Presidential Candidate - Part II

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 10:24:09 -0400

From Milfordite Heidi Voight’s online diary Crown Points, her April 30th entry

This past Monday night I attended the 2008 Connecticut Democrats Jefferson Jackson Bailey Dinner at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the event, the JJB dinner is essentially the place for CT Dems to "see and be seen." I was lucky enough to attend thanks to some members of the Milford Democratic Town Committee. I drove up with DTC Vice-Chair Linda Stevenson, who was delightful company. (I'm used to driving all over the state every day by my lonesome, so it was nice to have a talkative passenger for once!)

The honored guest and speaker for this year's dinner was US Senator Joe Biden of Delaware. He's served in the United States Senate since 1972 and is widely respected as a sterling leader. I was excited to meet him, as I'm a fan of many of his legislative initiatives. He was instrumental in crafting the Adam Walsh Act (which protects kids from sex predators and established the national sex offender registry and tier classification!), the Violence Against Women Act (which he wrote 14 years ago) and the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. Last year he followed up the latter legislation with the 2007 Biden Crime Bill, which reflected changing times by addressing a new set of crimes including on-line child exploitation.

Milford teacher cues the blues

MILFORD -- Bob Nunno has a lot of credibility with his music students at West Shore Middle School.

That's because Nunno, who is also the school band director and a 5th District alderman, plays gigs all over the country performing on his tenor sax, and has appeared on the same bill with blues greats B.B. King, Buddy Guy and others.

A few things worth considering after hearing Joe-mentum's comments regarding the resolution to censure him. First, Joe quips that he thought censures only happen in the former Soviet Union. If Joe wasn't so busy kissing John McCain's ass he might know that censure is a common form of good old fashion American process. In fact, he might know that Congress (which of course he is a member of) and not the Politburo uses censure to reprimand the President and members of its own body. In fact, his good friend and political ally George Bush has been the subject of five resolutions for censure.

GREED AND IRRESPONSIBILITY

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 08:50:17 -0400

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.
