This Memorial Day

Today America faces many tough challenges. But as in the past, we have the ability to meet and overcome these challenges with the full ingenuity and creativity of a free people. We have that ability, that freedom of choice only because of the selfless and courageous sacrifices of our fellow Americans who have donned the uniforms of our armed forces. Throughout this nation’s great history, from Bunker Hill to Bien Hoa, from Chancellorsville to Tora Bora, brave men and women have gone into battle on our behalf and given their lives to purchase and secure for us that most precious gift, freedom. This Memorial Day and every day, let us remember that, we remain the land of the free, only because of the many sacrifices of the brave. And let us further honor their sacrifices by remaining vigilant and strong, so that the promise of America may long endure. “Let us now praise famous men . . . All these were honored in their generation, and were the glory of their times. Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore.”

The Real Battle of Connecticut

While the attention is focused on the fight between former Wrestling mogul Linda McMahon and the former Congressman Christopher Shays over the right to vie for the open Senate seat, the real battle will be waged over Connecticut’s third congressional seat. Wayne Winsley vs. Rosa DeLauro. Can the young gun who came out of nowhere -- and got the entire CTGOP convention on their feet, clapping, screaming, and ringing bells -- really unseat the entrenched and untouchable incumbent? In this modern retelling of David and Goliath, can Wayne Winsley really take down Rosa DeLauro and cause her Philistine army of liberal special interests, big corporate lobbyists, and union thugs to break and run? Let’s not fool ourselves, folks. This one has all the ingredients of a good ole fashioned slobber-knocker. In one corner, we have a fiery young black conservative with charisma to burn, who wants to join hands with every man or woman who has ever dreamed of achieving something great. In the other corner, we have a cagey, flamboyant, liberal demagogue who is as much a genius at pulling heart-strings as she is at spending others’ money and flippantly wasting our nation’s resources. Oh yes. It’s Big Government vs. Individual Freedom. The Wealthy Inside Trader vs. the Everyman. The Out-of-Touch Incumbent vs. the New Visionary. It may not be Ali vs. Frazier, but it just might be the biggest battle since Hillary vs. Barack! And the answer is; YES we can ALL WIN with WINSLEY!

OBAMA IS OUT OF ORDER

NAUGATUCK, CONN. – April 4 – This morning I, Wayne Winsley, Candidate for U.S. House of Representatives for Connecticut’s Third District, released the following statement in response to incumbent President Barack Obama’s verbal assault on the Supreme Court of the United States.

For over two hundred years, the Supreme Court - not any incumbent president – has been the ultimate authority on whether any given law or act passed by Congress is constitutional. Supreme Court Justices have properly used the principle of Judicial Review to evaluate any new laws or legislation.

President Barack Obama’s deliberate attempt to bully and intimidate the justices of the US Supreme Court is improper, wrong, and – in a word – unacceptable.

Further, Obama’s blatant verbal assault on the court is also a threat to the Constitutional doctrine of separation of powers.

All freedom-loving Americans should loudly applaud the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals for its decisive step to reassert the independence of the judiciary and the separation of powers.

As more Americans figure out the President’s real agenda, come November the people will convene and vote Barack Obama, out of order.

Alper: Republicans Need to Learn How to Streetfight

Wayne Winsley Exclusive Interview withWilton RTC Chairman, Al Alper, candidate for CTGOP Chairman.

Wilton RTC Chairman Al Alper says he gets it, he has a plan, and he can put Connecticut’s Republican Party on the winning track. That is why he is seeking the position of Chairman of the Connecticut Republican party.

“I have a detailed, comprehensive reorganization of the Republican Party and a re-branding of the Republican Party in Connecticut that I plan to institute on day one.”

A part of Mr. Alper’s plan calls for as sustained marketing effort designed to “change the conversation” when it comes to the Republican Party and its perception, especially when it comes to younger voters.

Alper likens today’s Republicans to the British redcoats of the revolutionary war and their tradition of fighting battles in only in open fields during the day and standing in neat columns. The redcoats were totally demoralized by the colonials who attacked from the trees and at all hours.

“Because we are generally respectful, responsible and civil individuals we tend not to fight back, or we fight back in a, for lack of a better term, civil way. We fight the Democrats much like the British fought us. The Democrats have been shooting at us from the tree line, in the dark and we have been the respectful party that lines up in a column and takes our shots. We need to take this fight to them.”

When it comes to a plan for increasing Republican support in the Connecticut’s larger cities, Al Alper says that for years the CT GOP strategy has been to blunt the vote instead of converting voters in the inner cities. A strategy that Alper says is “destined to keep Republicans relegated to second place for the foreseeable future.”

Republican principles and minority values intersect at dozens of points and when Republicans effectively emphasize those points of agreement, there is an increase in minority support. And that according to Mr. Alper is as it should be.

“We are the party that essentially gave life and voice to the minority communities.”

Mr. Alper claims to have a very detailed strategy for capitalizing on those areas of agreement and converting voters in the inner cities.

Part of Mr. Alper’s plan to unify the various and almost-warring factions within the CTGOP calls for the creation of an organizational structure where all sides have,

“A voice in the direction and effort of what we do.”

Alper also places a big emphasis on the need to attract younger members to the Republican Party.

“We need to start converting people to the republican brand pre voter registration.”

Finally, I asked Al Alper if he thinks he can garner enough support among the seventy-two members of the State Central Committee to gain the chairmanship.

“I am speaking to them and I’m hoping that their desire to win and the organizational and fund-raising strength that I bring and my ability to marshal the support of the various factions, as demonstrated both in Wilton and in a congressional campaign is sufficient to convince them. I’ve done all of the pieces of the puzzle that we need in a good chairman and I’m the only candidate in the race who can lay claim to that.”
