For the past term, Connecticut Democrats have held a "veto-proof" supermajority in both the State House (102-49) and Senate (25-11), allowing them to override gubernatorial vetoes. This power enables the party to pass legislation, including budgets, largely unilaterally, though leaders have expressed intent to continue working with the governor.

One of the consequences has been more ‘far-left’ Democratic legislative initiatives, that would limit our freedoms, our rights, and ultimately the quality of our life.

Reminds us of the aphorism "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" written by the 19th-century British historian and moralist Lord Acton...

…or, as California Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton has recently expressed about a state in similar circumstances to Connecticut:

“The story is very simple. This is what you get in California when Democrats get everything they want. They've had 16 years of having total control over everything — each chamber, all the big counties, all the big cities, the state supreme court, which are highly politicized in California, a 6-1 Democrat majority, absolutely everything. There's no excuse. There's no hiding place, and the results are a complete catastrophe.”

So, what to do? To paraphrase Hilton, simple. Let’s support our candidates this Fall, get the message out, and get the vote out.
