A dark day in America


Good-Bye Pontiac




There are things that simply make no sense.

For example, in 1859 John Brown freed slaves and was hanged for treason for his efforts.

Today however, and for reasons that I have never comprehended, trading with a nation that blocks both our produce and products, and in a predatory fashion subsidizes their exporting companies; to the point of ruining our corporations and costing hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of hard working Americans their very jobs, is considered "OK".

Democrats cancel fundraiser honoring Doyle

on Sunday, April 26, 2009
You may remember the old E.F.Hutton commercial that said---- When E F. Hutton talks…people listen. Perhaps, the same could be said about State Republican Chairman Chris Healy.

Rocky Hill Democrats had a May 9th town committee fundraiser scheduled to honor State Senator Paul Doyle. The event was being promoted in several publications and they were actively trying to sell tickets. Healy called on the Rocky Hill Democrats to dump Doyle and detailed why he believed the "ethically challenged Senator" was a poor choice to honor.

It has now been confirmed, Rocky Hill Democrats have canceled the May 9th event and will reschedule later in September. It has also been learned that Paul Doyle will not be their honoree at that future event.

Thanks and a tip of the hat to fellow state central members.

Republicans - "NO Tax Increase"

on Thursday, April 16, 2009

Let's kill every small business! 1 at a time.


They're at it again.

No better than armed robbers.



Connecticut consumers already pay the 3rd highest in the nation - but frankly this has nothing to do with smoking.

Consider this: 76% of all convenience store purchases include some tobacco product.
Over 75% of all the cigarettes sold in the country are sold by small retailers employing under 12 people total.

We lose over 27.00 in Connecticut revenue for every carton brought in illegally.



Over 30% of the cigarettes consumed in CT were not purchased here NOW!
Another tax increase will only hurt our retailers and our state budget even more.

Connecticut receives over 4.00 per-carton from the Master Settlement.
As bootleg (out of state) cigarette sales increase we cost ourselves both that plus the sales tax of over 3.00 per carton; not to mention the 20.00 CT cigarette tax.

House Republicans: 860 240-8700 toll free (w/in CT) 800 842-1423
House Democrats: 860 240-8585 toll free (w/in CT) 800 842-8267
Senate Democrates: 860 240-8600 toll free (w/in CT) 800 842-1420
Senate Republicans: 860 240-8800 toll free (w/in CT) 800 842-1421
