SB422 Keep CT Water in CT_v2

Reminder that we were kept in the dark about the deal & had no voice when they sold off our water rights with our permission or even knowledge & at the time the resevoir was only at 85% & a slight drought & with the lack of rain the entire state is in a drought…

#RememberOnElectionDay who has sold us out

Just a reminder of what is happening in our government at both the town level & state…


CT Our Water is about to be Stolen.
Men & Women have conspired to give our water away at bargain basement prices to a corporation while raising our rates & risking running our wells dry.

#TaxingTyrants

Had Enough Yet of the #TaxingTyrants in our current out of control one party ruled government?

Are you tired of hearing that there’s not going to be a tax increase & the budget is fine only to hear days after the election that there’s an accounting problem & oops golly gee guess we’re going to have to raise the taxes on the working families & businesses & it’s your family & mine that now has to scramble to pay for the corporate welfare & crony spending projects that have been paid for without our consent.

Vote Them Out Taxing Tyrants

Wanted for being #TaxingTyrants
Vote Them Out!

Has #MalloysMess put a dent in your family pocketbook?

Does the prospect of paying by the mile for each mile that you drive sound like a good way for your family to spend their money?

How about an increase in the fees that you pay for any license or document that you need at the town hall because of the budget cuts?

Do you have a professional license that will have it’s fees raised & a tax added to your service on top of that?

Are you Ready for a Fresh New Start?

Then maybe it’s time to look to a New Person with a Different & New Way of Looking at how we should do things in the CT General Assembly…

Theresa Tillett is running for state senate to be that Voice For The People, her family is hurting just like yours from all of these increasing taxes & expenses.

We need a person that is part of the regular working class people fighting for our families up at the capitol because the career politicians have made a mess of our state.

We need a person with a Fresh New View; someone who will ask the questions “Why do we need it?” & more importantly “How much will it cost taxpayers or affect businesses?”

We need a person that is not owing favors to special interests but is answerable to the people who live in the district & understands that not everything that glitters is gold nor a good idea for our families that are already having problems paying their bills.

#VoteRowB this year on election day & let’s move CT towards the better road. Elect Theresa Tillett to the state senate to be the Voice For The People of the 2nd District.

Why are there UnContested Races in CT?

Cross posted item from another Tillett4CT project

It is true there are too many UnContested Races in CT’s General Assembly this year & in years past & if things do not change this will be the future as well…

The July 21st article in the Hartford Courant  http://www.courant.com/opinion/op-ed/hc-ed-too-many-ct-seats-uncontested-0721-20160720-story.html

points out that “due to apathy” & “lack of leadership” seats are going uncontested during a year when there should be not only full ballots but also high voter turnout since it is a presidential election year

Copied & pasted from the article 
What a shame, then, that more than 25 percent of the House seats will go unchallenged by a major-party candidate, along with four seats in the Senate.

& also this from the article
” 16 Democrats will run unopposed by a Republican, nearly all of them incumbents, according to preliminary information from the secretary of the state’s office. “

Shame on the local party leadership for not running full tickets; 
but also shame on the cities & towns people that have not stepped up to run for office.

“We the People” means that each citizen has a responsibility to take some small part in running the country;
That means not just showing up once every couple of years to vote a party line without knowing what the issues are but attending town & even state level meetings at the town halls & state capitol.

What are You going to do to change the “defeatist” attitude that is running rampant in our state?

What are You going to do to help #FlipTheGeneralAssembly ?
