Next month the Norwalk Democrats will be holding their DTC elections. For the uninitiated this means the 35 people who comprise the board, I’ll admit that describes the function loosely, of the Norwalk Democratic party. Recently, as in the last 6 years or so, the DTC members have managed to accomplish a losing streak only surpassed by the Detroit Lions. For those that don’t follow football, the Detroit Lions record in the last 6 years is 23-71 and counting. By losing, I mean how do you manage to run local municipal elections with a 2 to 1 registration edge where you lose seats in every year? How? Ineptness that’s how. But fear not liberal leaners. You can change this abysmal state, by going to the district meeting and voting new people onto the DTC.
Let’s start with some basic Norwalk Dems information:
District Committees
District Committees in each municipal voting district meet monthly, often for programs on issues of current interest. Membership is open to any registered Democrat. You can become a member after attending three meetings within a twelve-month period. Regular attendance maintains your voting rights. Each committee elects officers (See District Meetings).The municipal voting districts are:
- A Central Norwalk
Richard Fuller – Chair (203) 956-6748
- B South Norwalk
Robert Burgess – Chair (203) 866-3119
- C East Norwalk, Strawberry Hill and Wolfpit
Kevin Poruban – Chair (203) 838-4862
- D Cranbury, West Rocks and Silvermine
Sara Sikes – Chair (203) 847-7746
- E West Norwalk, Brookside and Rowayton
Galen W. Wells – Chair (203) 866-9045
Town and City Committee
The Norwalk Democratic Town and City Committee is the central, citywide Democratic body. It has 35 members (the registered Democrats of each district elect seven members to two-year terms).The Town and City Committee meets monthly. Meetings are open to all Democrats, though only the members may vote.The Committee elects from its membership a Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, Recording Secretary, and Corresponding Secretary.
So if you are one of the many registered Democrats in Norwalk, and you are not happy with how your party presents itself, remember change is something you should believe in.
TG you should have said that the deadline to submit a petition to run for a seat on the DTC was today at 4 pm.
Uh…whatever happened to “Dem in the Know’s” prediction that Gail Wall was resigning and moving?
Not a wagering person, but why do I have the feeling they’ll vote out Curley and replace him with Shemp?
Because those who forget (or ignore) the past are doomed to repeat it. LOL.
OK. Speaking of Democrats, was I the only one who attended the Health Care talk at the Norwalk High School, and heard Himes say that “Yes, he would change from his Congressional Health Care Plan to the “Public Option Insurance, if it passed?” Let’s see if the Public Option does pass, in one stealth name or form, if Himes was telling the truth and takes the insurance that Pelosi & Reed sure as hell are not going to take. Or was he just blowing smoke up our butts?
I bet when he got home that evening his wife said to him, “Are you nuts, what were you thinking?”
He most likely told her something to the effect “They are so dumb that they won’t remember what I said in 2 weeks.”
I’m hearing a lot of talk now about how this health care bill is unconstitutional in the extreme, a viewpoint that quite a few people I’ve talked with agree with, myself included. And I’m kinda looking forward to hearing the Dems explain how it isn’t, especially when they’re using the idea of fining or jailing American citizens who don’t want to buy into this travesty as a hanging sword to force us to do so.
Typical republican cant see the forest from between the trees..You show your true colors.
I’m not a Republican, Mikey; I’m unaffiliated. But you already knew that because we had this conversation way back before the election in November.
You can call it unaffiliated but I bet you vote republican….
That’s just a lame excuse Republicans have to try and block universal healthcare. They probably tried it with Social Security, Medicare, and compulsory education laws. Just think where our retirement funds would be if the Republicans had their way with privatizing Social Security. Their strategy now is to try and kill it with calls for balancing the budget immediately. How come they weren’t interested in balancing the budget when Bush was running up a huge deficit with 2 wars and tax cuts for the rich?
I dunno, Democrats. But when Obama comes to collect that $750 fine from you for not having health care, please let me know how you managed to find the money – because I don’t have it now, won’t have it in the future, and sure am curious about where Obama thinks I’m going to be getting it!
Well, once again, you bet wrong. I don’t vote “party”; I vote “person”. Political party means nothing to me.
“I vote person” and that person in your case is republican, its clear by your mentality or lack of I should say.
Neither does accuracy.
Second hand news: You will find that Secondhand Rose never seems to care about accuracy. Also she never debates the issues and never provides facts. When you provide facts to show her just how wrong she is, they are ignored. What she does is attack the person that is posting instead of debating the issues.. This is very typical of her type and of the republican agenda. I actually feel sorry for her.
I see you are back Mikey. I didn’t think you liked it here very much. Especially since you spend a lot of time calling Jackie out over at the hour s website and refer to this blog as “the fox news of norwalk”.
Anonymous23: There’s a technical reason why in space no one can hear you scream; sound doesn’t travel in a vacuum.
Hi Secondhand Rose I see you got a new name “Anonymous23″
