October 7, 2018 The ugly battle is over. By a slim margin and largely along Party lines, Brett Kavanaugh has replaced the moderate Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court, theoretically solidifying a 5-4 conservative majority. Here are the salient points from this landmark battle. The Rule of Law will replace The Rule of Man. For the past decades, controversial public policy decisions were imposed on the electorate by power hungry judges who preferred to make up the law rather than to interpret it. By judicial fiat, our Supreme Court removed God from public schools, allowed pornography to proliferate, legalized abortion and gay marriage and forced taxpayers to pay for the education and health care of illegal immigrants. Reasonable people can disagree on these issues, but the Supreme Court removed the right of the American people to govern themselves. Had Hillary Clinton won the election, she would have appointed judges who overturned the Second Amendment, made illegal aliens citizens, gerrymandered districts to the Democrat’s advantage and discarded the Electoral College. Now liberals will … [Read more...]
Joe Markley for Lieutenant Governor
August 9, 2018 The gubernatorial Republican nominee will need a strong partner if he is to win the Governor’s mansion and turn the state around. That candidate is Joe Markley. Many voters are unaware of the importance of this position and few can name our present Lieutenant Governor (LG), Democrat Nancy Wyman. But if the State Senate is deadlocked, the LG casts the tie-breaker. Thus, Nancy Wyman cast the crucial vote to kick the can down the road in pension reform early in 2017 and seven months later, the tie-breaking vote that extended public union contracts until 2027 while rendering it illegal to lay off state workers for four years – thus setting up Connecticut residents for huge tax increases and confiscatory tolls in the future. Furthermore, it was Lowell Weicker’s LG, Eunice Groark, who cast the tie-breaker that imposed the odious state income tax. Markley, a conservative stalwart, has the rare ability to disagree without being disagreeable. With his wire-framed glasses and goatee, one could easily mistake him for a liberal college … [Read more...]
Bob Stefanowski For Governor
August 8, 2018 Connecticut Republicans are fortunate to be able to choose between five hard-working candidates on our August 14 primary. I will be casting my vote for Bob Stefanowski. Connecticut was once one of the most desirable states in the country. With low taxes, an educated work force, pleasant four-season weather and easy access to both New York and Boston, our economy boomed and our citizens flourished. But after passage of the state income tax in the early 1990s, the productive people of Connecticut became piggy banks for politicians from both sides of the aisles, who funded ineffective social programs and promised lavish pensions for state and municipal workers. Connecticut now has the highest taxes in the country. Yet our pensions are grossly underfunded and a continuing chorus of unhappy and dysfunctional dependents clamors for more. Many people have chosen to leave. Connecticut is one of the few states to lose population in the last decade and is 47th in job growth. This is a crisis … [Read more...]
