It is no small wonder that activist judges and well heeled special interest groups are able to supercede the will of the voters in Connecticut. Witness the current political ads asking for a\u00c2\u00a0no vote on the proposed Constitutional Convention\u00c2\u00a0that are using\u00c2\u00a0fear in an attempt to defeat Question 1.\u00c2\u00a0The politics of fear is\u00c2\u00a0leading us ever closer to\u00c2\u00a0socialism\u00c2\u00a0and lest we awake one morning to find our \u00c2\u00a0freedoms and self determination completely suppressed we must say enough is enough.<\/p>\n

These\u00c2\u00a0ads\u00c2\u00a0would have us believe that a yes vote will allow evil and un-named “Special Interest Groups” to destroy our “voter’s rights”! How absurd is that premise and how ignorant do the\u00c2\u00a0real Special Interest Groups looking to further suppress the will of the voters think we are? When was the last time we voted on binding arbitration, a three strikes law, abortion on demand or homosexual marriage to name a few? A yes vote on Question 1 will only allow \u00c2\u00a0bringing an initiative up for a vote before the people, a MAJORITY of Connecticut voters MUST approve any such initiative before becoming law. Please explain how that can destroy our voter’s rights.<\/p>\n

Judges are supposed to uphold the law NOT make law, binding arbitration is bankrupting\u00c2\u00a0our cities and towns, giving\u00c2\u00a0groups like the CEA, and public employee unions salaries and perks unheard of in private industry. Taxes are out of control and it’s time that we voters have a voice in how our hard earned monies are spent. Connecticut has three times as many public employees per capita then the\u00c2\u00a0national average and the “public service” (an oxymoron to most of us) sector is still leading in job growth! <\/p>\n

The\u00c2\u00a0following\u00c2\u00a0named groups are advocating a defeat of Question 1, a defeat\u00c2\u00a0that would continue to prevent voters from having a say in the way our laws are written and our government run. Are these NOT “Special Interests” , who are they kidding!<\/p>\n
