There is also a lawsuit that is currently on appeal in Oregon to require the state to print the names of minor political parties that cross-nominate major party candidates.

Just as we suspected in CT. There is no
way Senators Dodd and Lieberman could have gotten re-elected; the voting in CT is as corrupt as everything else in CT

Bysiewicz is planning to run for the AG’s Office; she won’t get my vote! Blumenthol is a TOP notch attorney but he is too involved with the Democratic Party and looks the other way to corruption in CT. Blumenthol’s Whistleblower Unit is completely ineffective as whistleblowers are driven into homelessness and povety. His office spends unlimited taxdollars and uses all the State’s resources to defend the Offending Agencies and to beat whistlelbowrs and their attorneys into the ground crying ‘Uncle’. Whistleblowers never even hear from their case managers and have no access to the auditor’s report regarding our cases. Blumenthol speaks of the Firewall in his Office when there is NO
Firewall between the Three Government Branches in CT: The Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches collaborate to retaliate against Whistleblowers and our children. Blumenthol knows his new proposed bills or protecting whistleblowers are as easily violated in CT courts as all laws
are violated against us. Yet, he circumvents all our efferts to remove the Whistleblower Unit from his office to an Independent Inspector General with subpeona powers to prosecute offenders in State Government who commit criminal acts against Whistleblowers and our children. We have worked for seven years to make this move because whistleblowers and our kids need real protections, assistance and the ability to obtain Justice in an open, fair and Just court process and not the Kangaroo courts we
all are subjected to in CT.

I have respect for AG Blumenthol and all he has done for CT fighting corporate corruption but the biggest employer in CT is the State of CT. There is gross waste of taxpayer dollars, burgeoning cost to maintain CT’s Conglomerate Government leaving too few taxdollars for the intended recipients. Blumenthal defends these
corrupt agencies fiercely allowing corruption and waste to prosper.

It’s time for Balance and if AG Blumenthal could get a ‘wake up’ call
and/or inspiration that CHANGE in the way CT does business, he could be a key
Leader bringing CT back to the great State it once was.

P.S.: Whistleblowers and their children should not be driven into poverty, homelessness, unjustly locked up or silenced by premature death by the
State of CT’s protocol of retaliations.

Tennessee’s government, like apparently all governments in the world, is indeed uncaring and generally corrupt.
In the elections department, though, there are people who bend over backwards to help, even to help non-old-party people, including candidates.
When it comes to questions about petitioning, for example, and about how to qualify a new party, those people — people who actually work, not the people who get political patronage and appointments — deserve mostly praise.
Alas, the higher-ups, who are generally partisan to one degree or another, really will dawdle and hesitate and postpone as long as they can.
I think, though, they are in for a surprise this year, because even Tennesseans are getting fed up with non-responsive bureaucrats and agencies.
