Humph!!

Now here is a picture that should be on the front page of every newspaper in the country, blown up, on the front page, so our representatives can be made aware that there is always a camera on hand, a newsman ready to report their hard working efforts on our behalf. According to the write up, House Minority leader, Lawrence F. Cafero Jr. a Republican from Norwalk is speaking into the microphone. It would be interesting to hear what he had to say but, as this picture shows, Representative Barbara D. Milford, and Representative Jack F. Hennessy are playing solitaire. The representative, not identified in the article is on Facebook, while the one on the right is checking out the baseball scores. I think these folks drawn down over a hundred thousand a year to represent their constituents. Right now I'd like to be computer literate and know how to send a copy to each of them and ask them how they voted on the preliminary work of putting a new budget together. Whatever happened to integrity? What ever happened to the vow they took to represent their districts and work hard to bring about good, if not great, laws to help us stay strong and solvent? Whatever happened to "an honest days pay for an honest days work". I guess we ask too much. It seems to me we don't get what we vote for . . . someone who means what they say and say what they mean and puts in an honest days work. Well my ballot is sitting on the kitchen counter waiting for me to fill it in and vote . . . um . . . my work is cut out for me today.

So today, Sunday, all day . . . what are you going to do with your day of rest? Hopefully you will make it a day to pay attention to all of the hullabaloo that is going on with the different folks wanting to get up there on 'the hill' and change our lives for the better. Let us hope they have enough truth in their own convictions to win the seat they covet and take their moral principles along with them. We need time limits for all. As my friend, Clarence, used to say, 'never vote for an incumbent, vote for the new guy and give us a year or two before he joins the 'good old boys' to become a wealthy man. Sad but true! Where is that guy with the lantern out looking for an honest man? Where is Don Quixote when you need him? Be one of the good guys and get out there and vote and make it count. Hugs to all.
