John is asked to speak about health care, immigration reform, education, jobs, unemployment and small & medium size business, the foreclosure rate, and taxes, and is eager to do so! Over 300 people are expected to attend the candidates forum. The West Indian Social Club is located at 3340 Main Street in Hartford.
A nice article by Daniela Altimari, following a phone interview: http://tiny.cc/rqgoc Still, it would have been nice if the Courant had followed up on their promise from months ago to run an equal feature on each candidate that is on the ballot.
A nice statement by Ralph Nader today in Hartford, Connecticut, at his press conference to endorse Ken Krayeske for Congress: “He’d (Blumenthal) make a lot better senator than the wrestling queen, but John Mertens would make a good senator, too.” From Christine Stuart at CT News Junkie: http://tiny.cc/njddt
I was asked to share my dream by http://dreamnhv.com/ #CTsen #mertens2010 Hope in place of anger- you can make the world a better place.
Press Release:
Connecticut U.S. Senate candidate John Mertens has received the endorsements of two different non-partisan organizations. The Connecticut Citizens for Ballot Initiative, a non-partisan grass roots organization dedicated to bringing Initiative and Referendum to Connecticut, issued a press release today announcing the endorsement.
Dr. Mertens also received an endorsement from Chair and Founder of Free and Equal, Christina Tobin, following the Free and Equal U.S. Senate debate at the University of Connecticut Wednesday, October 20. Free and Equal is a non-partisan, non-profit advocacy group dedicated to election reform and improving ballot access laws in the United States, and is conducting inclusive gubernatorial and U.S. Senate debates around the country. Tobin also endorsed Tom Marsh, Independent Party candidate for Governor in Connecticut, and Warren Mosler, Independent Party candidate for Senate. It is the first time Tobin has endorsed candidates in a race.
This campaign is for and about you. The people of Connecticut. We want you to engage in a new process that invites the citizens to participate and innovate.
