Dear Ms. Bysiewicz,
I appreciate your attendance and meeting you at today’s veteran’s day ceremonies at Botelle School in Norfolk. I’m sure you’re appreciative of our service to this country, both in times of peace and war, and not just the voting bloc we represent.
I was very disappointed that you had to leave as I have a deep concerning question regarding your address here and your recent stance to defeat the proposed constitutional convention, as was your position the last time it came up.
Your address made a strong point that the freedom to vote is one of the most important freedoms we veteran’s have fought for! Yet you came out strongly against Question No. 1 which would give the people of Connecticut an avenue to vote, either for or against thus far un-named initiatives. To me this is at complete odds with your position stated here today. Regretfully, many ELECTED officials whom recognize there is a safety in numbers and fear no repercussions at the polls share your position.
But how do explain your contradiction? Please don’t give me the line that it would be dominated by special interests that would take away voter’s rights! Do you honestly think everyone would believe that lie as the obvious majority did? Talking special interests, defeat was the aim of the following SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS;
Connecticut Education Association
National Education Association
American Federation of Teachers
Liberals Like Christ
American Civil Liberties Union of CT
CT Transadvocacy Coalition
CT National Organization for Women
NARAL Pro-Choice CT
CT Assoc. of Public School Superintendents
Love Makes a Family
Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders
Planned Parenthood of CT
Queers Without Borders
Trial Lawyers Association
Coalition for Reproductive Choice of CT
These groups have been denying voters rights and achieving favorable, yet unpopular, legislation and rulings using PAC monies to “buy” legislators, and Judges willing to violate the separation of power’s constraint to legislate from the bench! That your party is cahoots with these groups it is no surprise to me, however our so-called Republicans are equally guilty, as is Governor Rell who made little issue, and the republicans that remained silent.
I rightfully believe the above groups are afraid of losing ground or being denied by the voters should Question No. 1 have passed. I believe that Binding Arbitration should be eliminated and that public employees should be prohibited from unionizing and /or calling strikes in order to raid taxpayer’s pockets. I do not believe in homosexual marriage or abortion and I believe it is criminal to ignore federal law and offer sanctuary to illegal aliens. I do believe a true three strikes law will take career criminals off the street. However we voter’s were not allowed our say on any of these issues that directly affect how TAXPAYERS monies are spent, and thanks to the successful defeat of the proposed constitutional convention our voices will continue to be unheeded.
Give me ONE GOOD reason not to vote the lot of you out of office.
