"We are just a few concerned citizens with day jobs trying to ensure that what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary marks the high-water mark for gun violence in this nation," Newtown United spokesman Rob Cox wrote in an email. "Ultimately we hope to provide a platform for the voices of the families most affected by this horrific event."

B.S.

Rob Cox helped establish Breakingviews in 2000 in London. From 2004 he spearheaded the firm's expansion in the United States and edited its American edition, including the daily Breakingviews columns in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. Rob has worked as a financial journalist in London, Milan, New York, Washington, Chicago and Tokyo. Rob is a contributor to Newsweek magazine and MSNBC. Rob graduated from Columbia University’s Journalism School and the University of Vermont.

The company was founded in 1999 as Breakingviews.com and was acquired by Thomson Reuters in 2009, becoming Reuters’ brand for financial commentary.

Rob Cox is basically part of the international anti-American elite while claiming to be another Newtown resident with a day job.

Here's a typical Rob Cox opinion piece: http://blogs.reuters.com/breakingviews/2011/01/10/the-case-for-washington-bailing-out-some-states/

Basically he's a leftist's leftist.

Thanks for the ping and heads up! I was not aware of this group, but then Newtown sometimes does a poor job of notifying it's residents of various activities.

Both Murphy and Blumenthal showed up... in Newtown? Telling! It's obviously not "grass roots" but rather some Liberal operatives using the tragedy here for alterior motives.

I will circulate this thread and it's useful links to fellow residents with "different" objectives than Cox.
