Would a third try lead to some vision, leadership and fiscal responsibility instead of just a…Read More continuous grinding of the electorate for more dollars? Right - didn't think so...
Good luck in the election and I have some suggestions. Stop raising our taxes, stop wasting the…Read More Fairfield Hills property for more municipal projects and turn it into a tax revenue generator, bring business into Newtown to increase the tax base, stop wasting money on bumper stickers promoting the town, and stop treating us like children with your messages during power outages.
A question for Brian would be: what does he recommend for those of use looking for a flavorful and…Read More lighter summer brew but without the fruit? Personally, if I want fruit in a summer adult beverage, I will find a fruity yet crisp rose wine. Or a great sauvignon blanc with hints of grapefruit, etc. So how about non-fruit beers?
When we took God out of government and schools and prohibited parents from spanking children the…Read More moral values of Americans started to disappear! We need to bring back some of the core values or we will be faced with the same social problems we are trying to stop in other countries!
I do see that. It just upsets me and many others that it all ties back to this tragedy. You are…Read More correct "never let a good crisis go to waste". Politicians of all shapes and sizes love it!
People from both sides of the fence need to start making their voices heard, Every day politicians chip away at more and more of all of our rights!
CJH - It might actually go a bit beyond that. If the Courant is correct in the broad nature of this…Read More bill, if passed, it could be used to keep future information about other criminal investigations shielded from the public. While my concerns regarding Sandy Hook echo your own, what about the issue of over-reach in the future?

The families privacy?? I understand not releasing crime seen photos, but those families have jumped…Read More at any chance to be in the media, even nationally! I and many others feel that there is something very Suspicious going on! Why would this one crime be hidden from public eyes? Especially with the bright spotlight put on this?

This is a charitable fundraiser and 100% of the money raised from this year's contest goes to Newtown's First Responders and the My Sandy Hook Family Fund - the only charity that is giving every penny it collects to the 26 families who lost loved ones.
G, apparently you did not watch the Benghazi hearings recently on CSpan. I did, and the whistle…Read More blowers made it abundantly clear that there was never any question that it was an "ATTACK" by terrorists, and had NOTHING to do with a "demonstration" over a lame video, as lied about by S. Rice, Obama and HRC! They concocted this story because the truth, that Al Qaeda is NOT "defeated" or neutralized, as O claimed, would have been inconvenient for the election.
It is utterly reprehensible for a president to heartlessly leave our men behind, to send NO aid or support, if only to get the bodies out--and under other presidents and the military as it has always been--you "DON'T leave your fellow soldiers (or diplomats) behind!"
O gave (or assented to) TWO orders to "Stand Down" and NOT fly in with aid from Tripoli or Sicily!
And G, what is your opinion of a president who condones the TARGETING of conservatives, with thuggish, illegal tactics of INTIMIDATION by the IRS!?
