I’ve been working on a bunch of new projects this year, and I have turned over one of my longest lasting web sites www.clintonmass.us to a group of people that will keep it going. I have enough irons in the fire to keep 4 people busy so now I can work on some of my other neglected projects.
Thanks for the memory’s Clintonmass.us
The Gospel of Luke 2:1-20
In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
Another record breaking day!
U.S. debt shot up $239 billion on Tuesday the largest one-day bump in history.
In one day the spendaholics blew 60% of the “NEW” debt limit. Maybe we will be looking to increase the debt limit again before Obama is defeated in November 2012.
I will not vote for ANYONE who helped raise taxes.
I will not vote for ANYONE that has supported ObamaCare.
I will not vote for ANYONE who has voted away my liberties.
I will not vote for ANYONE that doesn’t support Free Trade.
The tide is turning!
I am putting together a new web site for learning about Town Meetings and the local political process.
I have helped to form a group called The Clinton Local Accountability Improvement Group
We are a group of concerned citizens who are focused on bringing accountable leaders and policies to our local government here in Clinton, Massachusetts.
Whether it is excessive taxation and spending or unethical behavior of our town’s leadership, the Clinton Local Accountability Improvement Group is here to help.
The Clinton Local Accountability Improvement Group seeks to educate the public by presenting the facts and resources available in one place for the voters of Clinton . We believe that an educated voting public will make the best decisions for our community.
With an emphasis on Local Elections and Town Meetings we have a voice, and with your participation, we can improve our community.
That is from the “About” page. Lots of work to do.
My annual stand out at city hall (and the push leading up to it) produced positive results this year!
William Connolly jr was elected selectman to the town of Clinton Mass replacing my friend Tony who had enough of the beatings from the other members of the board.
Local elections and local government are the most influential parts of our democratic society in our every day lives. Local elections are the cornerstone of our republic! i encourage all to get involved in the local politics as much as you can stand. here in Clinton politics is referred to as a “blood sport” by my friend (and past selectman picture on the right) Joseph Notaro. Check out his blog. Blood Sport
Congratulations to Bill and his wonderful family!
Humiliating comments by two town officials.
These two (Mary Rose Dickhaut and James LeBlanc) have accused me of operating a “White Supremacy” web site.
Exhibit A. (their own words):
“We, concerned citizens of Clinton and Lancaster MA, wish to report what we believe to be
serious violations of Massachusetts State and Federal law. We feel that a “White Supremacist”website is in full operation in our community, along with blatant death threats, as well as terrorist
threats to blow up municipal buildings and infrastructure.”
I am appalled and hurt by such ridiculous accusations. The seriousness of such a thing is immense.
Get out your boots, the BS these two are shoveling is getting deep!
I lent my aunt (Franny) $700 billion dollars and now she cannot pay the bill. Not to worry! Our pal Barney has a plan to help. We will force all my neighbors to pay me the money out of a paycheck deduction.
How does that sound?
A recent letter to the editor has accused the forum members as being:
All under the “guise” of free speech.
I enjoyed the article right up until the name calling came in. Then he lost me.
But still, it is an interesting point of view. Perhaps the author should sign up at the forum instead of sneaking around as an anonymous guest?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
It is good to see free speech active in the local papers!
