Today I am using my blog to ask for your financial help in a very worthy cause, our children.

My main motivation for running for U.S. Congress was to secure a better future for our children.

That mission has not changed.

 

Since the campaign I have joined with the Water Innovations Alliance Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Shelton, CT.

 

Our goal to promote next generation science and technology while cultivating the next generation of scientists and technologists.

 

America is the land of opportunity and as you know, the biggest gateway to opportunity is education.

That is why my partners and I at the Water Innovations Foundation are spearheading the Brave Enough to Fail® program to bring a message of achievement, courage, achievement and hard work to Connecticut high school students throughout the state and particularly in lower achieving schools.

 

The presentations are offered to schools and students at no charge,

That is why I am asking you to click here and make a tax deductible donation to make this possible.

 

The following schools have already requested presentations which must be funded

AI Technical High School in Hartford in (Junior class)
Hillhouse High School in New Haven (Junior Class & Senior class)
Harding High School in Bridgeport (ENTIRE STUDENT BODY OVER 1,000 STUDENTS) 
 
We urgently need your help to reach our goal and bring a message of motivation to  sixty high schools and reach over 15,000 students. 
 
What I have learned since launching this program is that our schools are desperate for anything that might help the thousands of struggling students in our high schools to invest themselves in their own education.
 
I won't bore you with a whole lot of nonsense and hype, any amount of money that you can contribute is welcome and we need it as soon as you can send it.
I thank you for your support and for taking the time to  read this and please share it if you will.
 
Sincerely
Wayne Winsley

Take Action Now to Control Your Medical Records!

A proposed bill in Connecticut needs your help getting out of the Public Health Committee so it can go to the House and Senate for a vote. House Bill 5737, “An Act Concerning the Use of Patient Health Care Information in the All-Payer Claims Database Program,” would protect your privacy by giving you the right to chose whether or not your information is included in the state’s All-Payer Claims Database, which collects, stores, and uses information from health care claims

You should be able to decide how and by whom your sensitive health information is used. Let your legislators know that having control over your medical data is important to you by contacting them and encouraging them to support HB 5737. You can see a full list of the Public Health Committee members and how to contact them here. To contact your own district Representative or Senator to ask them to vote for the bill, you can follow this link to find out who represents you.

Is Discrimination Against Women Okay in CT Legislature?

At first it might seem like a silly question but in view of the Ernest Hewett situation, it needs to be asked.

This is what CT. State Representative Ernest Hewett ACTUALLY said in defending his now infamous “snake under my desk” comment.

According to The Hartford Courant, the New London Democrat told the paper that he

"purposely will not have female interns. My intern now is a male. I want to keep it like that. I've had female interns in the past that sit in my office all day. I thought it was totally weird and I didn't want another."
"That's why I was so leery about staying away from interns," he told The Courant. "I don't know what they're going to give me. They may give me a female, but I don't want a female intern. That may sound sexist but I really don't. That way that keeps me good and that keeps everybody else good." Read full story here

To me, the above statements sound really outrageous, offensive, archaic, and sexist. In fact the word Neanderthal comes to mind.   

But I could be wrong so let us do a small experiment and flip it around a bit and pretend that the legislator in question is a white Republican and the intern in question is black. In that case the statement would read as follows.

According to The Hypothetical paper, the imaginary Republican told the paper that he

"purposely will not have black interns. My intern now is a white. I want to keep it like that. I've had black interns in the past that sit in my office all day. I thought it was totally weird and I didn't want another."
"That's why I was so leery about staying away from interns," he told The Hypothetical. "I don't know what they're going to give me. They may give me a black, but I don't want a black intern. That may sound racist but I really don't. That way that keeps me good and that keeps everybody else good."

Would these imaginary comments be okay if they were uttered by a sitting Connecticut lawmaker? Or would they be viewed as outrageous, offensive, archaic, and racist?

If so, then why are the very real comments above that were actually put forth by State Representative Ernest Hewett being ignored, particularly by the many women who are serving and working in and around the Connecticut Legislature?

Is discrimination against women okay in the CT Legislature?
Or does it depend on who is doing the discriminating?

Why Does Government Want to Disarm You While Arming Itself?

 

 

In recent months we have seen proposed gun control legislation that seeks to do everything from banning certain types of weapons, limiting magazine sizes, to even taxing the bullets themselves.

Meanwhile, our government is literally buying bullets like they are going out of style.

The Department of Homeland Security is set to purchase a further 21.6 million rounds of ammunition to add to the 1.6 billion bullets it has already obtained over the course of the last 10 months alone

To put that in perspective, during the height of active battle operations in Iraq, US soldiers used 5.5 million rounds of ammunition a month. Extrapolating the figures, the DHS has purchased enough bullets over the last 10 months to wage a full scale war for almost 30 years.

This is not a conspiracy theory or even a pro-second amendment statement. I am simply posing a question that even the most ardent gun control supporter should be asking.

Why?

If your next door neighbor went to the local store and purchased 200 rounds of ammunition, many of you would be very concerned and want to know, “What on earth do they need that much firepower for, what are they planning to do?”

Well…your civilian government is stockpiling ammo at a faster rate than the military and at the same time seeking to restrict civilian access to firearms and even ammunition.

You might want to ask, Why, exactly, is the DHS stockpiling massive amounts of ammo?
