Windsor Please Write in Paul Panos on 11-7-17
I’m not certain of the process to officially be a
“Write In Candidate” or how a draft campaign works
But I am going to
Write in Paul Panos
for the Windsor Board of Ed
Why you ask would I write in a candidate that dropped off the ballot… because I know that he cares about the education of our children and he is willing to fight for the wiser spending of our tax dollars at the Windsor public school system…
He was initially on the ballot but he stepped down because he had surgery that was preventing him from the campaigning around the town that needed to be done.
I’m writing in Paul Panos for Board of Ed
because I think that if enough of us do write him in,
now that he’s feeling better and able to get around that
he will agree to serve for another term!
Help me test my theory and
Write in Paul Panos for Board of Ed on Nov 7th 2017!
We Need a CHANGE in WINDSOR!
Tell ALL your family and friends to
Write in Paul Panos for Board of Ed
Please Share
Below is a campaign video from 2016
when he ran for State Rep in the 5th District…

Get Out the Vote CT on 11-7-17
Remember Next week Tuesday is Election Day.
We are less than a week away from this year’s municipal elections. Many towns also have ballot questions that need to have a Yes or No Vote in addition to the candidates to be selected on the ballots so research that.
Have you decided upon who you will casting your votes this year? Have you researched any ballot questions as well?
Make certain to put on your calendar to get out to vote this year. Your Vote is Your Voice so if you’re tired of increasing taxes and getting less services,
Election Day is the Day to make the elected officials hear your opinion… #MakeCityHallListen!

#Artful8ths – to celebrate the end of summer I’m resharing my friend Paul’s video enjoy
Cross Posted Item from another Tillett for CT project
Today my #Artful8ths post is sharing a video of a friend;
Paul “PEZMan1963” Z.; who has left CT )0;}
PEZ; as he is affectionately known by many, left only partly due to the high cost of living…
Like many who have left CT he was sick and tired of getting his pockets picked by our elected officials and the crazy government overreach.
#MalloysMess has chased many friends and family out of CT
CT’s loss has been a #Win for the Music & TV world
PEZ transplanted to Nashville and is on his way to #FameAndFortune
So one day I’m going to get a Signed Copy of his “Gold Record” when he hits it big…
(0;} Then I can brag #IKnewHimWhen {;0)

SUSPECT ARRESTED IN FRONT STREET SHOOTOUT – Commentary
Another Hartford young man arrested for illegally possessing a gun after a shooting.
I have some questions and comments as a result of Kevin’s May 7th article. What I do love about We the People Hartford site is that regardless of what side of an issue Kevin does make you think about what is happening around us.
Unlike the “so called professional journalists”, he both listens to the public that are giving tips or their own commentary. Kevin also discusses his findings with those who are commenting.
That’s one thing that is great about Citizen Journalism, the majority of them are down to earth people and more than willing to talk to and with their readers.
Another great thing about Citizen Journalists is that many of them tend to have the breaking news that the “professionals” won’t bother to look into or cover for various reasons.
That being said I disagree with the title of the article in that a “Shoot Out” requires at least 2 people shooting, but there was only one person illegally armed and shooting at a defenseless car and an unarmed woman the way that Kevin’s article reads. So the title should have been “Suspect Arrested for Front Street Shooting”.
Thankfully the young woman who was the target of this young man’s anger was not another fatality for the crime stats of Hartford. I do wonder whose house was this gun found at? Was that person the Legal Owner of that gun or was that person also in possession of a gun illegally?
I am for people having the choice to exercise their right to self-defense and protecting their family from harm but it’s angry young men like this that create problems for LEGALLY Trained, Permitted & Armed people.
Why did he decide that it was ok to try to shoot (only 7 of 12 shots hit that huge target?) a car because he was angry with the driver?
What does that say about our society and community; where a person can grow up thinking that it is ok to escalate a verbal argument into threatening a life and destruction of property?
How much worse is it going to get with so many police officers retiring in Hartford? Will there be an increase in the gang-related shootings and crimes in our cities?
This young man was wrong in what he did; but was he carrying the illegal gun because he was unable to afford to get a gun legally? I do not know anything about this young man so I do not know; would he have been able (prior to this incident) to attempt to get the training that is part of the requirements to obtain a pistol permit?
What can be done to make our cities safer for the citizens that live there? Our police and fire departments are understaffed with more about to retire. Will more citizens be arming themselves illegally because the powers that be have made the basic human right to self-defense out of reach for the poor, blacks and minorities in our state?
How is the pending Bankruptcy going to affect the police and firemen and public safety for the people in Hartford?
Those are just a few of the questions and thoughts that Kevin’s article and the public comments have sparked for me…
What are your thoughts and questions?
Full article and community commentary can be found on We the People Hartford news site Kevin Brookman Editor & Lead Investigative Reporter
Hartford Police officers were dispatched to 24 Front Street this morning on the report of shots fired.
Upon HPD’s arrival, officers located a 2010 Ford Fusion with multiple bullet holes in it parked at the entrance to the Front Street parking garage. The victim detailed to officers that she had been involved in an argument with here “friends” boyfriend. The boyfriend removed a firearm from his waistband and fired 12 rounds at her vehicle. He apparently needs to spend more time at the range, since only 7 of the 12 rounds actually struck the vehicle.
Based upon the victims information , the suspect was identified and HPD contacted him. The suspect and his girlfriend agreed to return to the scene where HPD conducted a felony motor vehicle stop and the suspect was placed under arrest.
The suspect, identified as Austin Treadwell, 28, of 20 Front Street, Apt 318 was arrested and charged with numerous charges, including carrying a pistol without a permit, unlawful discharge of a firearm, Reckless endangerment 1st degree, Weapons in a Motor vehicle, Criminal Possession of a high capacity magazine, Criminal Mischief 1st Degree.
Treadwell had apparently disposed of the weapon, a 40 caliber pistol in East Hartford before returning to the scene. The weapon was recovered through the efforts of HPD.

Coalition Building – Can we work together?
Can the Right and the Left build bridges and coalitions to be able to make the state and maybe the country a better place?
Can we find common ground to start from to solve some of the problems we face?
Map of CT Divided into 5 Congressional Districts
Can Conservatives, Republicans, Unaffiliated, Independents, Democrats & Liberals find the common ground & work together to solve the many problems in our state and country is a question that I’ve been mulling around since last week when 2 democrats showed up at a conservative meeting in late Feb that was accidently posted publicly comparing it to the town hall meetings where the “Indivisible” group members were in a “Lovefest” with the democrats vs the Bullying that was done at the republican town hall meetings….
I have friends and family that are democrats as well as republican, libertarian and unaffiliated like most of us do and when it’s a one on one discussion even if we do not agree 100% on the issues we can talk civilly and agree to disagree on some items all of the people I know agree that the destruction of property that is being shown is just plain wrong.
One thing that I have noticed is that my right leaning friends know more about many of the issues but my left leaning ones do not. In fact it seems that my left leaning friends are surprised to hear about some of the issues because they’ve not been told about the items which are the problems because the media many times do not cover an issue in full or at all…
Many times the issues that the right side groups have are not spoken about in the media or if they are the media has such a warped coverage that it’s more “propaganda” than actual news coverage…
While the leaders of the right have no real outreach into the public their message and information is not getting out to the public but the leaders of these left-wing groups have the megaphones of the liberal left-wing media newspapers, television news and radio.
One question is why is only the left-wing given the ear of the public that the right just does not have? Where can people go to get educated on both sides of the issues?
How can people work together when the proper information is not put in front of them so that Informed Decisions can be made by the public? When people have both sides of an issue we can talk about what the problems are and how we can solve the problems.
What are your thoughts about what can be done to correct this problem? Leave your thoughts below in the comments.
Other important questions you should ask yourself is “Who Benefits from an Misinformed or Under-Informed Public?” and “Why are the media going along with this?”.
