Marching to Trump Tower [11.9.16]

Tale of 2 Protests – or the major news outlets again not fully reporting the news as it really is…

I am rather surprised by the reactions of the college students that are out here protesting the results of the election.

We’ve been having elections for over 200 years & I do not recall that days after the elections that there have been in previous history such protesting & rioting in the streets as is happening this year? Do you recall this happening in the past years?

I am also more than a little bit concerned at the behaviour of some of the protestors. There is not peaceful all holding hands & chanting or singing but violence & destruction & hatred going on as well…

Not much is reported in the national news with all the reports of vandalism & the physical attacks upon the ordinary citizens?

Livestream on the ground by people posting via social media shows the chaos in some places while there does not seem to be any consequences against these rioters?

Marching uptown to Trump Tower with thousands of other people in New York City. Here are some of the things I saw and captured along the way. [Thanks to Edwin Terrell (soundcloud.com/slumpfish) for providing music]

Cross posted item from another Tillett4CT project



People of all races are looking at Donald Trump;

As being the one person to change the way that things are being done because they think that being an outsider that Donald will not continue the policies of our current corrupt administration.

Donald seems to be the only one who is actually going out to the places that he hears there is a need for assistance.

Private School Partnership (FP Academy)

I was talking with a woman earlier this year about the need for there to be more affordable ways to start private affordable charter schools & I recently came across this video that does offer one option.

Thought I’d share it because others are thinking they also want to get their children out of the failing public school systems.

Start Your Own School! FreedomProject Academy is partnering with Churches and Private Schools as part of our mission to Faithfully Educate America.

More information coming December 2016!

Tax Increases Coming

It was Margaret Thatcher who said “The trouble with socialism is that eventually you always run out of other people’s money” wasn’t it?

Rather sad that this cycle there hasn’t been the same excitement & activity against the new taxes like there was to defeat the Windsor budget the other year… if there was then there would be no question about the races this year & it would be a resounding NO to all of the Taxing Tyrants most of whom are career politicians

 Unless the tax paying voters of CT do not wake up this year & vote Row B we’re going to be in for some serious tax increases coming & going which will not only hurt our families wallets but also put our safety at risk as there is a plan in place to quietly sell of the Brainard Airport so that the MDC can become Land Developers & use the land instead for Apartments & their select friends can profit while our water rates will likely raise again for the cleanup of the contaminated land

Eric is going to be voting not only to give us the mileage tax which will be increased to pay for the crazy plans that they are proposing for the “transportation plan”

 

Eric will also be voting to give us the forced regionalism with appointees that are not elected nor accountable to We the People. We’ll be forced to pay without any input into what types of taxes & what they will be applied to.

So that means we’ll be paying for the Hartford stadiums & any new crazy plans that Mrs Bronin & her friends come up with in addition to other corporate welfare & special interest projects & corruption that  Hartford has squandered away their taxes.

While we homeowners in Windsor, Bloomfield; & other towns like West Hartford, Wethersfield & Newington, we won’t have a vote or voice against it because those people will all be Malloy appointees. Appointees who won’t have to answer to us & who will be getting paid extra for serving plus benefits & of course that expense will be added into the taxes too.

Taxation without Representation is back on these shores yet that is why we became a country in the first place but this year there is no outcry against it?

 TAX on back of bent over man

Why are we NOT Fighting against these 2 giant taxes on multiple fronts?

 

Is no one paying attention to the fact that we here in Windsor & Bloomfield will be paying for the mess created in the corrupt city hall in Hartford?

Is no one aware that Mayor Trinks as well as other democrat mayors are on record saying they are more than happy to raise our taxes to “help” bail Hartford out?

 Why isn’t there more of an outcry publicly against this?

Do they not know? If they Do Not Know whose fault is it that they Do Not?

Are the people feeling that defeated that they just can’t fight back anymore?

Or is everyone just being silent & will speak at the polls by Voting Row B this year? Talk to your co-workers neighbors family & friends about who they are voting for this year & why…
