CT POLITICAL UPDATE: Register Citizen Endorses Linda

In Case You Missed It:

Register Citizen Endorses Linda

“Linda McMahon Is A Refreshing Entry Into The World Of Connecticut Politics. We Are Glad She Stepped Up To The Plate To Run For The U.S. Senate, And We Would Urge Voters In The Aug. 10 Republican Primary To Support Her.”

Register Citizen Endorsement: The Case For Linda McMahon Torrington Register Citizen Editorial Friday, July 30, 2010 We are proud to endorse Linda McMahon in Connecticut’s Aug. 10 Republican primary for U.S. Senate, and here’s why: Chris Dodd represented us in this seat for decades. Sucked in by the increasing power of his position over the years, he alternately looked out for those who helped him hold onto that power (the interests that funded his campaigns and helped him with his mortgage) and sharply partisan interests. Despite the populist milieu he likes to conjure with press conferences about the latest consumer issue in his role as attorney general, Richard Blumenthal is an intensely partisan animal. He is the Democratic establishment’s establishment candidate. And he will proudly take up the Dodd mantle. Linda McMahon is best positioned to stop Blumenthal from winning an election that he and the establishment act as though they are entitled to. Her Republican opponent, Peter Schiff, is as disengaged as one can get from the real world that most Connecticut voters face. We keep hearing how brilliant he is, and OK, great, we’re sure that he is, and that his message about economic policy needs to be heard in Washington. But if he’s so smart, how come he can’t learn some interpersonal skills, or that to represent Connecticut voters, you have to actually meet some of them and get to know what their day-to-day problems are? The other Republican on the ballot Aug. 10 is former Congressman Rob Simmons, who was endorsed on Thursday by the Hartford Courant despite having “suspended” his campaign just after the Republican convention without taking his name off the ballot, and then quietly, sort of, announcing that he was back in the race. We like Rob Simmons, too. He’d make a good senator, or a good governor. But his behavior in this campaign has been bizarre and a disservice to the supporters and voters who were counting on him for leadership in accepting the challenge to run for U.S. Senate. Remove three irrelevant factors — Linda McMahon’s gender, her personal wealth, and the nature of the business that she built from scratch — and the sneering doubts that party insiders and the press raise about her would go away. Peter Schiff’s comment about McMahon being “off washing her hair” at a debate the other night was despicably sexist. We should all be so lucky as to have fulfilled the American dream the way McMahon has in terms of earning what she has from nothing. And let’s face it, World Wrestling Entertainment, whether we like it or watch it or not, is every bit a piece of modern Americana as NASCAR or American Idol. Linda McMahon has real-world business experience, and knows what the government needs to do and not do to help create jobs for Connecticut residents. We can easily picture Linda McMahon standing up to the power brokers in the Senate, in either party, and to the special interests, because she doesn’t need them to get into office or stay there. Linda McMahon is a refreshing entry into the world of Connecticut politics. We are glad she stepped up to the plate to run for the U.S. Senate, and we would urge voters in the Aug. 10 Republican primary to support her. LINK

07/29/10 We Report You Decide: Did Stamford Fire and Rescue Chief Robert McGrath Get His Promotion After Working On Dan Malloy's House?

Robert McGrath was a Stamford firefighter working three days on, three days off.

On Robert's days off he operated a small heating and air-conditioning business to make ends meet.

Then this Stamford fireman got his big break....

Robert got the chance to do heating and air-conditioning duct work on the120-year-old barn that Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy was transforming into a house.

Robert also did many jobs for several of Dan Malloy's brothers.

Dan Malloy chose to use Richard who was on the Stamford City payroll to work on his future home even though there are hundreds of Heating And Air- Conditioning contractors with in a 30 minute drive of his home.

A short time after that Richard was promoted to Assistant Stamford Fire And Rescue Chief and then soon after that was appointed as the Stamford Fire and Rescue Chief.

Stamford Fire and Rescue Chief Robert McGrath later told Stamford Advocate reporter Louis Porter that the work on Dan Malloy's home did not have anything to do with his advancement to Assistant Fire Chief and later Fire Chief.

Another contractors who did work on Dan Malloy's Ocean Drive East house was Rick Sharper.

Rick told The Associated Press he got the job and dealt with Marc Lyons, a friend of Malloy who was involved in hiring city employees and contractors to work on then Mayor Dan Malloy's house.

Rick said after he did work on the mayor’s house Marc Lyons later arranged a lot of work for him at city high schools.

Marc Lyons, who was a Malloy family friend was the construction manager at Stamford High School and after the Mayor's house was completed he became manager of all of the city and school facilities in Stamford..

Stamford Board Of Finance Member Joesph Tarzia was quoted in the press saying, "The Malloy administration has reduced controls over city purchasing. Malloy dismantled the internal audit department”

CT POLITICIAL UPDATE: Ron Paul Endorses Rick Torres

Ron Paul Endorses Rick Torres Riverside Friends, It is with great honor that today I accept the endorsement of Congressman Ron Paul. I have spoken to Congressman Paul several times over the course of the Campaign and I look forward to working with him after I defeat Jim Himes this November.

Rick is a real Liberty lover and has a tremendously inspiring story. Here is a video he made about his background Again, please consider supporting Rick in any way you are comfortable – whether it is financially, with your time as a volunteer and, most importantly, with your vote.

07/29/10 CT Fourth District Congressional Candidate Rick Torres Receives the Endorsement of Republican Liberty Caucus

Rick Torres receives the endorsement of Republican Liberty Caucus Riverside Friends, I want to share with you the exciting news that last night, after speaking on the Mark Levin radio show, I received the endorsement of the Republican Liberty Caucus. The Republican Liberty Caucus writes that "Candidates endorsed by the RLC share our commitment to the ideals of individual rights, limited government, and free enterprise and are working to implement those principles within the Republican Party." With the endorsement of the Republican Liberty Caucus I am now all the more confident in our ability to defeat my big government RINO opponent on August 10th. I know that yesterday I asked you for your financial support and many of you were beyond generous in contributing to my campaign. To those who donated, I cannot thank you enough. But we are still short of our $10,000 goal and we need to raise the rest of our goal to ensure victory. If you did not donate yesterday, I need your commitment to please make a contribution today of $50 or more to help pay for my GOTV effort. These are the GOTV projects we still need to fund: $1571.13 to circulate our campaign palm-cards the Friday before the primary ($55= one thousand palm cards). $1468.50 for election-eve GOTV calls ($50=1420 robo calls). $1100 for front page newspaper ads in the weekly papers ($50=1/3 an ad in the Easton Courier). $3,000 for radio ads in the district ($60=1 radio ad). As you can see, your contribution of $50 or more will go to real tangible projects to spread our message of liberty to voters throughout the district. Victory is within our grasp. With me you have the chance to elect a true friend of liberty in the northeast. Please make a donation of $50 or more right now to ensure victory against my big-government RINO opponent on my August 10th primary. Thank you in advance for your commitment. P.S. If you have not done so already, please watch my new video on Socialism and share it with your friends. Sincerely, Rick Torres for Congress P.O. Box 3311, Bridgeport, CT 06605.

Great Job Dan Malloy

Keep Up The Good Work

READER SUBMITTED COMMENTS: Reverse Racism is hijacking our culture and our heritage

The Two Wrongs Make a Right Thesis goes like this: Because some Whites once enslaved some Blacks, the decedents of those slaves, some of whom may now enjoy high incomes and social status, have a right to opportunities and offices over better qualified Whites who had nothing to do with either slavery or the oppression of Blacks, and who may even have suffered hardship comparable to that of poor Blacks. In addition, Strong Affirmative Action creates a new Hierarchy of the Oppressed: Blacks get primary preferential treatment, women second, Native Americans third, Hispanics fourth, Handicapped fifth, and Asians sixth and so on until White males, no matter how needy or well qualified, must accept the left-overs. Naturally, combinations of oppressed classes (e.g., a one eyed, Black Hispanic female) trump all single classifications. The equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment becomes reinterpreted as "Equal protection for all equals, but some equals are more equal than others."

COMMENT FROM:

RIVERSIDE ROUNDUP

Is affirmative action a good law or bad one?

Well, it's niether good or bad.

It's a means to an end. Historically, there has always been a stigma placed on being a non-male-caucasian American in The United States. This stigma has led people to deny opportunities to non-caucasians and women. Affirmative Action was put in place to force the hand of corporate America, to right an obvious wrong. It's usefullness has waned with every passing year as people look past racial and gender barriers, and though there are still instances in which it is needed, it is becoming increasingly difficult to make an argument for it's existence. Though, theoretically, as long as there is any 'unjust' disparity in hiring practices there will always be a need.

Incidentally, all applicants have to meet the pre-requisites for a job in order to be hired for any position. Affirmative Action does not help unqualified people gain positions they shouldn't have.

Affirmative action did what it was designed to do.

I remember when it was acceptable to call a "colored person" who was older than you "boy" or "girl."

No one could imagine that the races would be even close to being on an equal footing only 50 years later.

So if you believe in promoting racial equality, it is a good law.

If you believe that we are now equal and that a further handicap in favor of minorities is now unnecessary, it is bad.

Most people don't realize that in companies that hire purely based on acheivement, regardless of race, they never have to worry about affirmitive action, they are never in threat of falling below the ridiculous quotas.

Companies that have issues need to wonder more about why minorities are so underepresented in their companies.

But we, as a country, need to address the racial problems we still have. I wish we didn't need Affirmative Action. And I honestly beleve, that we don't in most companies. The law isn't their for most companies.

It's there for those few who insist on holding on to the old way of thinking here in Greenwich and across the country

The Fact's Are The Facts:

Last May, Greenwich Parks And Recreation Department employee Ron Harding filed a complaint with the state Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities alleging he had persistently been denied a chance to get a position with the higher-paying -- and all-white -- tree service division of the parks department.

Forty-eight complaints have been filed with the agency against the Town of Greenwich in a five-year period beginning July 1, 2004.

Greenwich has seen several racially tinged controversies, probably none as prominent as the 1995 scandal in which five Greenwich High School seniors carried out a coded joke on the pages of the high school's yearbook. Letters beneath their photographs on different pages formed the phrase "Kill All Niggers"

Racial relations are smooth on the surface but tension arises on a regular basis.

Eight minority Greenwich police officers -- six black and two Latino -- alleged they were overlooked for promotions to higher-profile and higher-paying positions that instead went to white police officers.

In December 2009, the town and the eight officers agreed to settle the case just before a judge was to uphold or overturn an earlier jury verdict awarding five officers damages -- a move that officially closed the book on the four-year-old case.

The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights noted major disparities between Hamilton Avenue School and other public elementary schools.

There was a time that Jews like Greenwich Roundup were not allowed to live in Greenwich.

You could rent a store in Greenwich, but you couldn't own a house in Greenwich.

Temple Shalom was started by Greenwich Avenue merchants who were not allowed to live in the town they worshiped in.
