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.

DeLauro Shuns CT. Voters but Embraces Mass. Voters

U.S. Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass., and U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn. stroll down Main Street in the South End of Springfield, just hours after DeLauro snubbed voters in West Haven by refusing to appear for a debate and take voter questions. DeLauro drove up from New Haven to campaign for Democrat Elizabeth Warren.

 

 

Incumbent Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro apparently thinks her re-election is so “in the bag” that not only does she not have to lower herself to debating her opponent in front of third district voters, she doesn’t even have to campaign. In fact she can take time to go to neighboring states and campaign for other candidates.

 

That is exactly what she is doing. Less than twenty-four hours after refusing participate in a debate hosted by United Seniors for America at West Haven City Hall, incumbent DeLauro found time to stump for fellow Democrat Elizabeth Warren in Springfield Massachusetts.

A link to the full story including video is here.

 

Well, with a storm on the horizon, at least we know DeLauro is in the country this year if not the state, and hopefully she won’t try to phone in her response this time.

 

For twenty-two long years the citizens of the 3^rd district have been saddled with an arrogant and imperious queen who believes that the people’s congressional seat is her throne and that she doesn’t have to be held accountable by her subjects unless she feels like it.

 

We can do better than that.

This election the citizens of the third district have a real choice.

The choice is Wayne Winsley for Congress

 

As your next representative, I - Wayne Winsley - will work hard to serve the citizens of the Third Congressional with forthrightness, honor, and integrity

Why is DeLauro Afraid to Debate in Front of Voters ?

The group, United Seniors for America is hosting a third district Congressional debate between Incumbent Rosa DeLauro and challenger Wayne Winsley at West Haven City Hall, Thursday October 25^th at 6:30pm. 

 

All media and citizens are urged to attend

 

The debate will be moderated by the editors of two area newspapers, The West Haven Voice and Hamden Journal. Audience members will be able to submit questions as well via index cards.

 

Incumbent DeLauro has issued a statement refusing to attend this debate, saying that two public forums where no debating between candidates are allowed and the single, pre-recorded, 25 minute debate which aired on Face the State on October 21^st are enough for the voters of the third district.

 

I strongly disagree.

 

I - Wayne Winsley am committed to attending and standing before the voters and taking all questions.

 

Whether incumbent DeLauro feels your questions are worth hearing and answering is up to her.

I for one, urge her to attend. The voters deserve no less.

 

   As your next representative, I - Wayne Winsley - will work hard to serve the citizens of the Third Congressional with forthrightness, honor, and integrity.
