While conservatives are rightfully lamenting our losses around the country, we have some VERY good news here in Connecticut.  In our #1 targeted General Assembly race, the race where we spent the most time, money, and effort, WE WON.   There was only one open state senate seat in Connecticut where there was a clear pro-family candidate and […]

I was at Sam’s HQ until about an hour ago and it was a great place to end the day. He won his race and will be an outstanding pro-family state senator. The place was packed with friends and reporters and the atmosphere was festive. A good contingent of CT Right to Life and FIC […]

Gregg Hannan has lost his race against Sen. Ed Meyer.

I just spent a few hours holding signs with the Al Adinolfi and Sam Caligiuri people at Church of the Epiphany in Cheshire. Diane, a middle-aged woman on the Town Council, was there holding a Murphy sign, but her real passion appeared to be Lieberman-hatred. The presence of an older man wearing a “Vote Joe” […]

A statewide group of pro-family Latino ministers has endorsed Sen. Joseph Lieberman for re-election: Abraham Hernandez, a spokesman for the group, said the ministers, as leaders in their community, “recognized him (Lieberman) as an integral, compassionate, experienced and, above all, a serious man that believes in the value of the family…” Lieberman, who interspersed his […]

A Stamford Advocate item briefly noted in this space yesterday is the subject of an article in today’s New Haven Register: Lawlor’s record the only issue, many say By Gregory B. Hladky, Capitol Bureau Chief 11/02/2006 State Rep. Michael Lawlor of East Haven says he’s never tried to conceal that he’s gay from anyone who […]
