Floridians, when you cast your ballot on the Florida Marriage Protection Amendment this year, look at Massachusetts, California – and now Connecticut. Contrary to claims of the liars attempting to scare Floridians into voting against the marriage amendment because of the false assertions that the measure is about everything other than marriage, the Connecticut Supreme Court’s 4-3 ruling today legalizing “gay marriage” is the latest reminder of why we need Amendment 2. This is not an academic, esoteric debate. The Florida Marriage Protection Amendment (also known as Amendment 2) is Floridians’ chance to settle the definition of marriage in our...

Los Angeles - Emphasizing the urgency of California’s Proposition 8--ProtectMarriage.com, today the Connecticut Supreme Court legalized gay marriage by a narrow margin, 4-3. Close votes also defined gay marriage in the states of Massachusetts and California. The State of Iowa was also scheduled this week to hear arguments on same sex marriage. In answer to today’s decision, the Protect Marriage Coalition and its volunteers are stepping up efforts and continuing their unprecedented grassroots campaign across the state of California. This weekend hundreds of thousands of lawn signs will appear on lawns in every community. Church services in some African American...

The state Supreme Court's 4-3 decision Friday that same-sex couples have the right to marry swept through the state with the force of a cultural tidal wave. While lead plaintiff Beth Kerrigan and her partner -- soon to be wife -- embraced and sobbed after learning of the ruling, opponents vowed to pursue a long and complicated route to change the constitution to ban gay marriage. The Supreme Court released its historic ruling at 11:30 a.m. Citing the equal protection clause of the state constitution, the justices ruled that civil unions were discriminatory and that the state's "understanding of marriage...

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - The Connecticut Supreme Court has ruled that same-sex couples have the right to marry.

Connecticut Holds Its Breath, Awaits Impact By Ted Mann Published on 9/16/2008 in Home »State »State News Connecticut public officials trained wary eyes Monday on the developments on Wall Street, where the collapse of major financial sector companies could have seismic effects on the state budget. The state's ability to pay for prized projects and programs is closely linked to its tax receipts on income and capital gains from the wealthiest of its taxpayers, particularly those who live in Fairfield County and work - either in Connecticut or across the state line - in the very industry that has taken...

This one has got to take the cake for stupidity and lack of journalistic integrity. The Old Media has been gyrating in ever widening circles to find new and unheard of ways to destroy Governor Sarah Palin and now from the Hartford Courant (Connecticut) we find the most ridiculous one yet. With this Robert Thorson column we have now gone from slandering Gov. Palin herself, to attacking every last member of her family -- including her Down Syndrome child, Trig -- to this latest stop on the smear Palin express: attacking Palin's hometown Wasilla, Alaska. Thorson seriously tries to make...

Anti-War Protesters Attack Conn. GOP Delegates Some Delegates Doused With Bleach-Like Substance; Rowdy Crowd Estimated At Between 2,000-10,000 ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) ― Protesters attacked Connecticut delegates near the site of the Republican National Convention Monday in a demonstration where more than a dozen people were arrested by police using pepper spray amid window-smashing, bottle-throwing and tire-slashing. It was a violent counterpoint to an otherwise peaceful anti-war march not far from the Xcel Energy Center convention site. Many protesters involved in the more violent protest were clad in black and identified themselves to reporters as anarchists. They wrought havoc by...

KENT -- Jon Hoose's first crop of sweet corn he'd ever grown started to come in this summer about as well as the 17-year-old could have hoped. He'd gotten his own rumbling John Deere tractor as a high school graduation gift. His dad, a former dairy farmer, helped him secure about 20 acres of leased land, and loaned him the cash to plant corn and pumpkins. In early July, he stacked harvested corn on a picnic table at the end of his driveway on Davis Road, scrawled two cardboard signs advertising sweet corn and put them out on Route 341....

BRIDGEPORT — The jury in an attempted murder-rape case in Fairfield was dismissed Thursday after a hangman's noose was found drawn on a blackboard in the jury deliberation room. Superior Court Judge Lawrence Hauser said he had no choice under state law but to dismiss the six jurors and three alternates, and to order the case begin over again. The judge pointed out the noose has come to symbolize racial or ethnic bias because of the history of lynchings. A Halloween display in Stratford attracted widespread condemnation when a dark-skinned mannequin hanging from a noose was included in the display...

I flushed my pills down the toilet. The prescription had expired. I had a queasy impulse to jettison the medicine this way because of some vague understanding that expired medicine could be dangerous. It may, but not in the way I imagined. Scientists are now finding a vast array of pharmaceuticals, from sex hormones, to anti-convulsants, to mood stabilizers, in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, the Associated Press found recently. The drugs get there via people like me, blithely tossing drugs into the water system — and through the natural metabolic practices of a country...

HARTFORD, Conn. - A 78-year-old man is tossed like a rag doll by a hit-and-run driver and lies motionless on a busy city street as car after car goes by. Pedestrians gawk but do nothing. One driver stops briefly but then pulls back into traffic. A man on a scooter slowly circles the victim before zipping away. The chilling scene — captured on video by a streetlight surveillance camera — has touched off a round of soul-searching in Hartford, with the capital city's biggest newspaper blaring "SO INHUMANE" on the front page and the police chief lamenting: "We no longer...

HARTFORD, Conn.: A man alleges that police entered his home illegally and ripped a catheter from his body during a child pornography investigation that led to the arrest of two neighbors. Andrew Glover, 60, of New Britain filed a notice with the city Thursday that he intends to pursue a federal civil rights lawsuit. He accused the officers of inflicting severe injuries as he was recovering from intestinal surgery in February. Glover's lawyer, Paul Spinella, said police entered Glover's apartment Jan. 30 and Feb. 28. Glover wasn't involved in child pornography, has not been charged and has no criminal record,...

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. - A sex offender recently released from prison brazenly invaded a home, shot two women meeting for morning coffee and abducted one of them, whose body was found about 10 miles away, police said.

Carol Larese, 65, was seriously wounded while her visiting friend, MaryEllen Welsh, 61, was abducted. Police say in the arrest warrant that...

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- Federal prosecutors say two New York residents have been indicted on charges of trying to smuggle $500,000 from the U.S. to Jordan. Authorities say a grand jury in Hartford has returned an indictment charging 35-year-old Hassan Abuzaitoun and 33-year-old Mohammad Alazzam with conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to smuggle bulk cash from the United States. Both are naturalized U.S. citizens from Jordan residing in Yonkers, N.Y. Abuzaitoun also is charged with making false statements to federal law enforcement officers. The indictment alleges that Abuzaitoun and Alazzam transferred large quantities of cash from the...

Lebanon (AP) _ State police say two 7-year-olds and an 8-year-old at Lebanon Elementary School have been charged in a plot to hurt their bus driver with a knife. The children are in the second and third grade and police say they carried knives to school in their backpacks. Two of the children were arrested Friday and charged with reckless endangerment, possession of a dangerous weapon and threatening. A third child was arrested Monday on the same charges. All three have also been charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree assault. Police say the children also threatened a kindergartner with a...

The heated debate over whether to allow undocumented immigrants to attend public colleges and universities at the same tuition rate other Connecticut residents pay could soon reignite at the state legislature. Under a bill introduced by state Rep. Felipe Reinoso, D- Bridgeport, Connecticut students living in the country illegally would pay in-state tuition rates at all state public colleges and universities, rather than the pricier out-of-state rates they must pay now. A similar bill was passed by the state legislature along partisan lines last year after a hard-fought debate, but Gov M. Jodi Rell vetoed the measure. Another bill, introduced...

I have just seen Hillary Clinton and her former Yale law professor both in tears at a campaign rally here in my home state of Connecticut. Her tearful professor said how proud he was that his former student was likely to become our next President. Hillary responded in tears.

Hillary as I knew her in 1974 At the time of Watergate I had overall supervisory authority over the House Judiciary Committee's...

Danbury (WTNH) _ Protesters gathered outside Danbury City Hall tonight to rally against a plan that will crackdown on crime involving illegal immigrants. "Immigrant rights are under attack! What do we do! Stand up! Fight back," was the rally cry outside City Hall. Working with federal immigration agents, two to four Danbury police officers would be trained to handle immigration investigations, arrests, detainments and even begin the deportation process. Inside, dozens of citizens in favor of the plan say it is critical to curb crime committed by Danbury's illegal population. "We chronically hear that we need tools, we need things,...

"THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned that Sen. Joe Lieberman, the 2000 Democratic vice-presidential nominee, will endorse Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for president tomorrow. The two will appear together at a press conference Monday morning in New Hampshire, weather permitting."

Democratic and Republican sources say that Sen. Joe Lieberman, the independent Democrat from Connecticut and fierce supporter of the war in Iraq, will formally endorse Sen. John McCain tomorrow in New Hampshire. A McCain spokesperson declined to comment. A source familiar with the endorsement said that the two will appear of NBC's Today Show tomorrow morning and at a town hall meeting in New Hampshire. The endorsement could help McCain with independents in the state. Combine that with news that Rudy Giuliani is scaling back his advertising buy there, that the Boston Globe endorsed McCain, and that McCain's rivals are...

Stratford woman fights deportation to Poland RICHARD WEIZEL Article Last Updated: 11/03/2007 11:16:52 PM EDT STRATFORD — Three years ago Polish citizens Adam and Renata Laszczak believed they were about to realize the American Dream. Then, suddenly, it became more like an American tragedy. After emigrating in 1998 from Miechow, a town just outside Crocow, the young couple were married in the United States and by 2004 were the proud parents of twin seven-month old girls. Adam worked for a construction company in Fairfield, while Renata took care of the twins, Angelica and Jessica. Adam, who was legally in the...

In a surprising anti-consumer decision, the Connecticut Department of Public Utility (CDPU) rejected AT&T’s application to expand its U-verse IPTV service further across Connecticut. This is surprising because AT&T was granted a statewide video franchise, but the CDPU shockingly classified IPTV as a cable offering. By forcing IPTV to conform to 1970’s era regulatory standards designed for cable monopolies, the CDPU and state attorney general have sided against competition and the free market. Connecticut is the only state to consider IPTV a cable system, and therefore it is not covered under video franchise law. Unfortunately for Connecticut’s consumers, this decision...

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- A Chinese woman living in Connecticut tried to buy military equipment commonly used to gauge the power of nuclear explosions and export it to her native country, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Thursday. Qing Li, 39, was arrested at New York's Kennedy Airport on Sunday as she checked in for a China Air flight to Beijing, according to investigators for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. A federal judge ordered the woman, who was living in Stamford, Conn., temporarily held in New York pending hearings in San Diego. Her attorney in New York, Paul Goldberger, did not...

Commentary by Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, President, Human Life International On September 28th the Connecticut bishops issued an unfortunate statement allowing the Plan B abortion-causing drug to be used in cases of rape in Catholic hospitals. I have written respectfully and urgently to the Connecticut Catholic Conference (CCC) and to each bishop individually to ask them to withdraw this potentially precedent-setting statement, and I pray that they do so. I am extremely concerned that this statement will begin to have a domino effect on other Catholic hospitals and healthcare institutions, and I write to you today to ask your...

U.S. Catholic Health Association Giving Flawed Advice on Morning After Pill to Catholic Hospitals Commentary republished with permission by Matt Bowman of Alliance Defense FundExcerpted from http://www.constitutionallycorrect.com/archive/2007/10/03/553.aspx WASHINGTON, DC, October 3, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Connecticut Catholic hospitals' spokesman Barry Feldman, in statements discussing the new policy allowing emergency contraception for rape victims even though embryos might not implant as a result, listed the Catholic Health Association as support for the new policy. The position of the Catholic Health Association on "emergency contraception" is well known and seriously flawed.  It basically presents "emergency contraception" as permissible even after a positive ovulation...

Connecticut Bishops Allow Plan B in Catholic Hospitals for Rape - Catholic Medical Association Opposed Vatican stated in 2000 "the absolute unlawfulness of abortifacient procedures also applies to distributing, prescribing and taking the morning-after pill" By John-Henry Westen HARTFORD, September 28, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A statement issued by the Connecticut Catholic Bishops yesterday, which is posted on the Catholic Conference's web page, notes that the Bishops have approved the administration of the morning after pill Plan B for rape victims at the four Catholic hospitals in the state.  While the Bishops claim to be in accord with Church teaching on...

In a major softening of their position, the state's Catholic bishops announced today that Catholic hospitals would comply with a new law that takes effect Monday that requires them to dispense emergency contraceptive pills to rape victims. The Catholic church had lobbied strongly against the proposal at the state Capitol for more than one year, and some insiders believed the Church might file a lawsuit to block the law. Church officials, though, had said only that they were considering their options and never said that they would file a suit. "The Bishops and other Catholic health care leaders believe that...

In what has been called "A Tale of Two Cities," Hazleton, Pa., and New Haven have been taking sharply contrasting courses on illegal immigration. But they came to a crossroads of sorts in a Pennsylvania courtroom last week. Hazleton, once a bustling coal town that fell on hard times after the mines played out, enacted a law penalizing landlords and employers who associated with illegal aliens. In a lawsuit bankrolled by the American Civil Liberties Union, illegals and their advocates contended Hazleton was interfering with the federal government's constitutional authority over immigration. U.S. District Court Judge James Munley agreed, but...

Fred Thompson sat at the end of a long table in The Monocle restaurant on Capitol Hill Tuesday night for dinner with some 20 fellow conservatives, mostly journalists. He sent two signals. First, he sounded like a man who has decided to run for president. Second, his candidacy will be something different from other Republicans, in both substance and style.

HARTFORD, June 1 — Illegal immigrants who graduate from Connecticut high schools will be eligible for the resident tuition rate at the state’s public universities and colleges if the governor signs a bill that the Senate narrowly passed on Friday. Connecticut would join 10 other states, including New York, that allow illegal immigrants to pay the in-state rate that is available to other residents. Illegal immigrants now often pay twice as much to attend Connecticut’s taxpayer-supported colleges and universities. Aides to Gov. M. Jodi Rell, a Republican, said she would not decide whether to sign the bill until she sees...

HARTFORD, Conn. - A legislative leader was arrested Friday on charges that he tried to have a businessman at the center of a federal racketeering probe arrange to rough up someone the senator believed was abusing a relative. State and federal authorities said Senate Minority Leader Louis DeLuca in 2005 sought help from James Galante, a Danbury trash hauler currently awaiting trial on 72 counts of tax fraud, racketeering, threatening and extortion. "When you approach someone who is alleged to be a member of organized crime or affiliated with organized crime and you ask for this help, and you slip...

If there were any lingering worries that it is too late for Fred Thompson to jump into the Republican presidential race, they appeared to be assuaged last night by Republican activists in a state widely considered to be a hopeless cause for the conservative Tennessean. As the guest speaker at the Connecticut GOP’s Prescott Bush dinner here at the Stamford Sheraton Hotel, television actor and former Tennessee Sen. Thompson wowed the standing-room-only crowd with his calls for U.S. success in Iraq (“We’re not about surrender or retreat.”) And not permitting aliens to “just wander in” over the border. In addition,...

Catholic News Agency reports that the Connecticut Legislature has passed a bill that requires all hospitals in Connecticut to provide Plan B to rape victims. Including the state's four Catholic hospitals. Naturally, the state's bishops conference is opposed to this bill. They, correctly so, do not wish to be involved in a practice that is directly opposed to the teaching of the Church. Good for them.But this praise is muted.The bishops report: “Catholic hospitals provide emergency contraception to rape victims in the vast majority of cases,” the bishops noted in their letter (to the legislature). “In fact, it is an...

COVENTRY -- An anonymous tip has led Coventry police to the whereabouts of a stolen statue of Nathan Hale at Diana's Pool in Chaplin. The 3-foot-high bronze cast of the Revolutionary War hero and Coventry native son was in good condition, Police Chief Mark Palmer said this morning. The investigation is continuing. The statue was reported missing April 4 from the Nathan Hale Homestead in Coventry. It had been sawed off or broken off at the ankles.

*Rell Calls Proposal 'Unconscionable' Igniting a philosophical debate over tax equity, the legislature's Democratic majority released a revised tax-and-spending plan this afternoon that Democrats say would cut the income tax for 88 percent of taxpayers -- and sharply increase taxes on a minority of higher wage earners. In their first official response to Gov. M. Jodi Rell's budget, Democrats say they are seeking to spend $650 million more than Rell over the next two years, further bursting through the state-mandated spending cap. Rell denounced the Democrats' tax policy and spending increase as "unconscionable," setting the stage for difficult negotiations before...

After more than two hours of debate at the Legislative Office Building Thursday afternoon the legislature's powerful judiciary committee decisively approved a controversial gay marriage bill by a 27-15 vote. The move sends the bill, which would allow gay and lesbian couples to marry, to the House, and then the Senate. Both chambers of the legislature must now approve the bill, which would then go to Gov. M. Jodi Rell, who has indicated in the past that she does not support gay marriage. Thursday's vote comes nearly two years to the day after the legislature approved a bill allowing civil...
