Democrats Should Vote No On Iraq War Funding



This is the year of change according to our Democrats in Washington.
Connecticut Democrats should support Medical benefits for those Vetrans that come back from Iraq to Connecticut and other States of our Union.
The peoblem is it was attached to a War spendings bill for a failed war policy that the Democrats say they oppose.

Maybe I am not getting it.

How can you be opposed to the Bush War and then turnaround and vote to continue the funding of such a War?

The Senators of our nation and those Democratic Senators from Connecticut to California need to answer to the people they represent if they voted yes as to why they did.

I believe its time to have Democrats run against any Democrat in Connecticut or any other State that voted Yes to continue .

Congress a few days ago did this "A long-delayed Iraq war funding bill sailed through the House on Thursday, along with historic increases in college aid for returning troops and help for the unemployed and Midwestern flood victims.
Republican allies of President Bush provided the winning margin in a 268-155 vote to provide $162 billion to fund U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan well into next year.
Democrats opposed to the war, however, succeeded in using the Iraq funding bill as an engine to drive past White House resistance a sweeping revision to GI Bill college benefits and a 13-week extension of unemployment checks for those whose benefits have run out.
Lawmakers separately approved those domestic add-ons by a 416-12 vote, sending the combined bill to the Senate for a vote next week. The White House issued a statement supporting the legislation.
The measure also provides a quick $2.7 billion infusion of emergency flood relief for the Midwest, though more is expected to be needed to deal with the major losses in Iowa, Illinois and other states.
The bill would bring to more than $650 billion the amount provided by Congress for the war in Iraq since it started five years ago. Nearly $200 billion in additional funding has gone to operations in Afghanistan, according to congressional analysts."


So some of the voting was good except for the War Funding part which now is in debate within the Senate.

Its time for the Senate Democrats on the War portion of this Iraq War funding to vote no.

With people losing their homes and the Economy falling apart and the high cost of Gas .

Its time to stop funding the Iraq War Now.

I suggest everyone call their Democratic US Senator and tell them to vote no on funding the Iraq War Bill.

Ned Lamont Should Run Again



Ned Lamont has been active since Lieberman beat him for the Senate seat and its time for Ned Lamont to run again for the US Senate .

He is still young enough and talented enough to make a comeback and win the next US Senate Primary when it happens again.

Ned Lamont knows what the issues are and how they are affecting everyday people from the Environment to the War in Iraq.

He is honest and has the leadership that Connecticut needs .

Lamont was screwed by the Lieberman Campaigns dirty Politics .

We know how that Politician operates and operated to steal the election .

Ned Lamont still has a very active website its about time for those of us who supported Ned in the past to start a campaign to get him to consider running again for Liebermans Senate Seat.

The website is http://www.nedlamont.com/ .

Ned Lamont as many know endorsed Senator Barack Obama for President .

When Senator Barack Obama becomes the next President it would be nice to see Ned Lamont run and Obama this time around come to Connecticut to help Ned win the Senate seat.

Ned Lamont represents the Progressive values that many Connecticut Democrats hold today.

email Ned and lets get the ball rolling for the next Senate election.

Lets have a new US Senator from Connecticut that will vote with the Democrats and be part of the Change we seek .

Ned Lamont like Senator Obama is Change we can believe in .

The Joe Has To Go Movement



Senator Joe Lieberman has got SenatorWatch fed up with him for good .
I am serious when I say its time to kick the bum out of office he does not share Democratic values of the grassroots of the Connecticut Democratic Party and whats with WPLR FM Chaz and AJ Morning show C0-Hosts always bringing Senator Lieberman on the air like he is part of the family .

WPLR FM 99.1 when Lamont was running against Joe Liberman gave Joe anything he wanted .

The Chaz and AJ show has constantly even this week been in bed with Joe Liberman and did a broadcast from his office in Washington D.C. interviewing connecticuts Represenatives and an Interview with Vice President Dick need I say more .

Senator Leiberman gets anything he wants from chaz and AJ in the Morning.

When Senator Lieberman needs a favor he knows what Station to depend on.

I would suggest WPLR stop giving Senator Lieberman a free ride .

Granted Chaz and AJ are entertainers and comedians not Politicial Talk show hosts .

Still should any Politician have that close association with a Morning show or the media in general?

The Joe has To Go Movement is you and me and all those who were ripped off by the Senator who left the Democratic Party and became a Turncoat a Republican Neocon with an agenda against the Democratic Party and the core values that it stands for .

I am fed up with Senator Lieberman and WPLR 99.1 's Morning Show from day one for not being tough on the Senator and former Democrat from Connecticut .

Call WPLR and protest the morning show for not be objective with Senator Lieberman and giving him a free ride everytime he comes in their studio or talks by phone.

Not to get sidetracked here but Joe Lieberman is the one man that needs again to be watched closely in Washington on how he votes and who he hangs out with now.

Lets make bumper stickers that say Joes Got To Go and lets get the Anti Lieberman people on WPLR's Morning show with Chaz and AJ the next time they invite Joe on the air equal time for the Joe's Got To GO Movement a Grassroots movement and Idea who's time has come .

Lieberman Its Time for Him To Be Throw Out of Office




Its time for Senator Joe Liarman I mean Lieberman to be throw out of office.
Those in Connecticut who can remember what Lieberman did after he lost the Connecticut Democratic Primary to Ned Lamont should not organize to have the bum thown out of his Senate Seat for good.
His attacks on Senator Barack Obama were totally out of place.

From Cnn News"Obama had backed Lieberman in the 2006 Democratic Senate primary in Connecticut. After he lost to Ned Lamont, an anti-war candidate, Lieberman defied party leaders and ran as an independent in the general election. Leading Democrats — Obama, Dodd and Kerry among them — then backed Lamont. Lieberman was re-elected with support from the GOP, including praise from the White House and fundraising help from prominent Republicans."

Lieberman is on the strings of the GOP and the Neocon have him in their corner now.

Liebermans support of Senator John McCain is not an Independent thinker its a Republican supporting a Republican.

Senator Joe Lieberman wants you to think he is Independent but he supported President Bush on his War policies regarding the Middle East and the War in Iraq,and now shows that he truly is a Republican helping McCain on the campaign trail.

Senator Joe Liar Lieberman is a crook and a disgrace to the word Politics.

Joe Lieberman needs to be Impeached and thrownout of the Senate.

He got his Senate seat back with dirty politics and those of us in Connecticut who were involved in the Democratic Parties Progressive Wing know this is true.

When people around the country ask how could Connecticut vote for Joe.

Understand he lost the Democratic State Primary.

So I say lets start a movement folks the Joe's Got To Go Movement "
