Below is our Tuesday e-mail alert (minus the links), which  has since sparked on an online reaction from Courant columnist Rick Green. We’ll have more on this when time allows:
The pro same-sex “marriage”/pro-abortion forces who wield inordinate influence over Connecticut’s politics and culture are legion. And they are coalescing around a campaign to stop the [...]

In today’s Connecticut Post, the front page of their Commentary section features a rant by wire editor John Hourihan who opines about how he is “getting tired of the religious right”.
Writers like Hourihan need to understand that the feeling is mutual. We are getting tired of liberally biased media who scoff at the faith of [...]

FIC sent an e-mail alert to our membership Tuesday morning urging them to support the con con campaign. We got a call from the AP five minutes later and the result is the article that appeared yesterday in several state papers:

FIC supports a constitutional convention and right of initiative law to stop the Left’s constant efforts to usurp democracy. The right of intiative is a [...]

William F. Buckley, a Connecticut native rightly described as the intellectual father of the conservative movement, died last week.

Perennial third party candidate–and ardent Connecticut pro-lifer–Joe Zdonczyk has died: 
Joseph A. Zdonczyk, who ran unsuccessfully for governor four times on a platform of outlawing abortion, has died at 79 at a Wolcott nursing home after a brief illness…
