Time to Get Back to Work

Now that the election is over.

I am getting back to  delivering the message of Achievement, Independence, Education and Hard Work to as many members of this and the next generation as possible.

My goal is to visit at least 50 high schools throughout the stately Connecticut beginning in January 2013.

I believe that now more than ever, this is vital.

So, if you are a parent and would like this message brought to your local high school,  or If you own a business or know someone who owns a business that might wish to help bring this message to a school or other place, contact me here or via email wayne@winsley.com . 

There is much work to be done and we must begin now.

Veterans Day

 

 

 

 
 

This Veterans Day as we pause to thank my comrades in uniform past, present, and future, for their service to our nation, let us also remember WHY we don the uniform and take up arms in service to our nation.

From Paul Revere and the Sons of Liberty to today’s Seal Team Six, brave men and women have risked much and often sacrificed all to protect the inalienable rights bestowed upon all humans by their creator, Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.   

To this very day, the United States of America remains the brightest shining beacon of freedom in the world. We are one nation, under God with liberty and justice for all. We are also, thanks to our armed forces, a safe nation.

Just yesterday I pointed to news pictures of the rocket attack on Gaza in Israel and said to my family, “We are blessed that because of our armed forces, our citizens don’t have to worry about random missiles dropping out the sky on us. There are many people in the world who don’t have that luxury.”

While I can’t speak for every armed forces veteran and member, I know that I speak for myself and many others when I say, we put on the uniform because we love our country and what it stands for and we want to protect it from all enemies foreign and domestic.

As private citizens we also have a duty to protect and defend our nation and its principles.
That duty remains even if at the moment it doesn’t feel like the popular thing to do.    

Cowards ask the question “is it expedient?” Expedience asks the question “is it the political thing to do?”  Vanity asks the question “is it popular?” but conscience asks the question “is it the right thing to do?”

“A Sad Day, Yes…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Today is a sad day for American conservatives.  Particularly, that’s the case for conservative republicans here in Connecticut where once again liberal democrats have run the table and swept every federal office in the state.  The natural tendency is to wring our hands and ask:  "where do we go from here?"

But here is the truth.

 We played hard and left it all on the field.  Today, we are exhausted, our uniforms are torn and stained, and our psyche bruised and battered from the political thrashing that we have taken.  We have nothing to be ashamed of. The values and principles that built this great nation remain just as true and worth fighting for as they ever were.

Remember, the final whistle has not sounded on the future of our country.  We are still in the game.

The people have spoken and now the other team has the ball.  They must either advance it or be held accountable for their failure.  There can be no excuses, no rationalizations, and no evasions.

Like George Washington's army at Valley Forge we will persevere through this long continuing winter of liberal rule.  We will marshal our resources and hone our message.  When the politics of free stuff and deficit spending fails (and it will), we must be ready to march in the spring of the next election.

Yes, today is a sad day for America, but the saddest day would be the day we stop fighting for America.

God bless you, your family, and may God Bless America.
