Rosa DeLauro = corruption poster-child

Here’s why such corruption should matter—

to Democrats, Republicans, unaffiliated:

“Hearing more speeches from Republicans about the problems intrinsic to overweening government, the public simply concludes that the Republicans are on their favorite subject again and that we must be back to business as usual. The problem goes deeper than this, however… witnessing life in a failed state [Uzbekistan] enabled me to realize firsthand how much the quality of government can affect the character of its citizens… governmental corruption can have a profound negative impact, not just on prosperity, but also on virtue…The corruption in our government most certainly is not on a level with what we see in countries like Uzbekistan, but unless we respond to governmental scandals with appropriate outrage, we will continue to move along that same path.

That Hillary Clinton is seen as the Democratic front-runner

Americans should demand better.” 

And that Rosa DeLauro is seen as the perpetual 3rd district front-runner—

despite having turned her office into a massively fraudulent, manipulative self-enrichment scam—

discourages ME almost beyond words.

Connecticut should demand better.

If you believe in returning our govt to the People—

rather than allowing it to be run by self-serving multimillionaires like DeLauro—

then copy/paste this entire post into an email and send it to 3rd district friends, post on Facebook, etc. to share with others [you can use the Facebook and Twitter buttons below]—
