Done With Dodd

Tomorrow at Noon

We’re Done With Dodd

Saturday May 16th Outside His Office (see map below)

Connecticut Resistance will hold a ‘We’re Done With Dodd’ Protest this Saturday, May 16th at noon, outside Senator Chris Dodd’s office at 30 Lewis Street in Hartford.


The program will feature speeches, music, humor, revolutionary war re-enactors, and a special visit from one of the founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, who will read the Declaration of Independence from King Dodd II.

This is a non-partisan event. His party affiliation does not matter—Dodd is simply a lousy senator. We welcome everyone who wants to join us on May 16th, regardless of political views or party registration. Retiring Dodd is a cause we all can get behind.”

Pardon John Brown

May 9th 2009
Torrington born Abolitionist John Brown was born 209 years ago today.

Sign the petition!

Brown was hanged for treason December 2, 1859.
If freeing slaves is treason, we should all be guilty.

Now - 209 years after this good man's birth, it's time we insist he be posthumously pardoned.

. . . I believe to have interfered as I have done, . . . in behalf of His despised poor, was not wrong, but right.

Now, if it be deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with the blood of my children, and with the blood of millions in this slave country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enactments, I submit: so let it be done."



"He did not recognize unjust human laws, but resisted them."
"No man in America has ever stood up so persistently and effectively for the dignity of human nature."

Henry David Thoreau


John Brown's Last Speech


Hanged in the mid-morning of December 2, 1859, Brown, now having realized that some things just won't be settled peacefully, stated his last words ominously:

“I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.”

English Is The Language

I don't care where you're from; and in fact tend to be kind of liberal as it regards the entire immigration issue.

But ya gotta speak English
