Sunday's Meeting With Ned Lamont in West Hartford
Mon Jul 10, 2006 at 11:24:02 AM PDT
There were well over 100 citizens at Sunday's meeting in West Hartford, CT.
Ned Lamont covered a wide-range of topics and countries and he proved that he is not just a "One-Issue Candidate", as stated by the Lieberman Campaign.
The claim by Lieberman that just young "wackos" on the Internet are Ned Lamont's sole supporters is way off the mark.
Sunday's meeting was comprised of concerned, adult citizens who are worried about the direction our Country is heading. They ranged from their late teens to their eighties; with a majority of the crowd that came to see Mr Lamont ranging anywhere from their thirties to their seventies. Two of us made the effort in our wheelchairs to get to the gathering. Sorry Joe, but I wouldn't classify the adults I saw there as "wackos"!
Ned Lamont first talked to the citizens. Then he answered a broad spectrum of questions.
Q & A at the gathering covered The United States, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Israel, Pakistan, India, North Korea, Japan, China, Russia and Mexico.
The topics discussed by Ned Lamont and the questions/answers covered
· The Iraq War
· The North Korea Missiles Threat
· The Middle Class and their Lost Jobs through Trade Agreements
· The Environment and the Kyato Accord
· Our Lack of Energy Independence via the secret Cheney Energy Task Force and our missed opportunity after 9/11
· Keeping Social Security as it is and not privatizing it
· Medicare Rx with competitive drug pricing
· Basic Health Care for all especially the young
· Our Education system which would be Ned Lamont's key subject in the Senate
· Allowing Emergency Contraception for all Rape Victims
· Bi-Lingual voting and getting everybody to speak English through a better school system.
So clearly, Ned Lamont is not a "One Country, One Topic" candidate.
It's time for any uncommitted voters to come hear Ned Lamont and join the Ned Lamont Campaign. All of us 20-80 year-old "wackos" would welcome you.
