Martha Dean for CT Attorney General

Dear Ones:I am taking the opportunity of the July 4, 2010 to put my passions into action and endorsing certain candidates who I feel will help our country make the 'come-back' it so desperately needs. Yes, I have fought the good fight for civil rights, gender equality, gay rights and a 'welcome to America, you who wish to become US Citizens'-type visitors.
Those of you who know me are aware of my lifelong work with the homeless and the mentally ill and substance abusers, as well . Now here are a few interesting things I would like to share with you, stemming from my almost 60 years on this good earth, which relate directly to politics today.
I once supported 'burning our bras', while reserving the right and need to KEEP MINE ON! I was even one of the first females in high school (if not the first!...nerd/tomboy that I was) to wear pants.
I once supported ready availability of birth control (with abortion providing being a minor feature of care back then, for it was yet a big 'taboo') by supporting Planned Parenthood. Ever the scientist, I was a 'modern, logical, socially aware, atheist/agnostic' back then. My sensitivities were tweaked as I learned more about conception, gestation, viability and birth. By the time my daughter was born at age 31, I fully realized the 'lie' about fetuses being 'nothing more than products of conception' (as PP calls them).
Subsequent soaring ABORTION RATES lead to my working for a crisis pregnancy group where I learned for a fact that ABORTIONS WERE BEING PERFORMED ON NON-PREGNANT WOMEN merely for the money! Needless to say, this prompted me to action, just as the 'Abortion Industry' was getting it's hackles up over all this. After getting baptized by water and becoming a Christian at age 37, it was clear that my greatest service would come from my assisting mothers and their 'unwanted babies' and by facilitating adoptions, when appropriate.
I do a great deal quietly, behind the scenes. No need for me to 'get in your face' or 'foist my lifestyle' on YOU or ANYONE ELSE (as GLBT and Black Liberation Theology groups seem to do today) at all.
See what I'm getting at? I am capable of great action, but I'm also FLEXIBLE. When I follow my passion, I don't toss aside my decency, good common sense, my intuition, my intelligence, my discernment, my questioning, my analyzing, my researching and most of all my consultation with the Most High...God. It's called being OPEN-MINDED and WILLING TO CHANGE...WHILE LISTENING TO THE CALL OF GOD.
GOD sure IS 'still speaking' to me. This is the UCC GLBT/BLT 'catchphrase', this "Still Speaking" campaign...And God is telling me to SPEAK UP. So HERE YOU GO!
I persistently erred on the side of 'giving the benefit of the doubt' with Civil Rights. I never for a single minute of my life had a ounce of the WHITE GUILT so many are yet slave to today. The way I was raised by my parents, it was simply understood that all races are equal. And we, as whites, always came down on the side of any darker-skinned persons in the event of legitimate controversy. I was Ms. Civil Rights until things in the USA in the 1990's started to get a little....different.
I noted the controversey of Rev. Martin Luther King's so-called 'doctorate'. Why does no one speak of it? As both a student-grad and undergrad and then as a college teaching assistant myself, plagiarism was anathema to everything my academia stands for. And from a 'minister', no less.
I noted things like the Tawana Brawley episode with Rev. Al Sharpton and began to wonder. I encountered fierce racism as a lone white at the Salvation Army Headquarter in Stamford, CT...but still, I persisted in forgiving with understanding, still believing that we could all rise above our differences.
I joined the Obama/Wright Church and found just how badly I'd been 'bamboozled' on race. This cadre wants not equality, but domination. This cadre wants not respect, but retribution. This cadre wants not recognition, but reparations....and so forth. Just look at the news today with the New Black Panthers, for instance, intimidating people at polling places. Look at ACORN and company. Look at the Congressional Black Caucus. This is the 'civil rights' movement of today and it makes me wonder if I all my earlier civil rights activism was for naught.

But, I am wiser now, and as I said above, I am flexible on my 'passions', never suspending my scrutiny of even the best 'story' and 'tale' and case plead anywhere.
For this reason, it has been difficult for me to be political, let alone endorse anyone. But that has all changed and I can thank the United Church of Christ for that, believe it or not. (I won't bore you all again with my tale of woe about how Senator Obama kicked his Presidential Campaign off (or did he?) at a church meeting or all the politicking I was forced to endure during Worship!--you can read it elsewhere here.)
But I will point out one of scores of things that makes me so proud to be able to endorse and recommend MARTHA DEAN for CONNECTICUT ATTORNEY GENERAL. And my 'little' item here means nothing to those who don't understand, but to me, it goes right to my heart.

You see, I am from a military family. I once went to a CT UCC Meeting with our local pastor and the moderator (who runs the church, along with the Sr. Deacon, in the absence of the pastor). There were numerous PETITIONS laid out on tables all over the convention hall...all what I now know to be the pap of the PROGRESSIVE LIBS who are intent on destroying our American Way of Life. The UCC is a socio-politico-religious breeding ground for the new left, in fact, 'hiding in plain sight' all along. How I did not see it, I simply do not know.
What harm, I thought back then, of all these anti-war, anti-Israel-in-the-guise-of-being "Pro-Palestinian", 'greenie', pro-abortion-in-the-guise-of 'womens'-rights, and so forth UCC PETITIONS and UCC RESOLUTIONS all around the room? That was poor thinking on my part, but thank God for my eventual powers of observation. Everyone...and I mean EVERYONE from my home church and all around us signed this ANTI-GUN PLEDGE ( PETITION/PLEDGE/PROMISE ) TO NEVER OWN A HAND GUN OR ANY GUN AT ALL.
I was actively encouraged to sign that thing and all I could do was shrug. As others (not the two from my home church who knew better than to 'push' me) persistenly hassled me over my not signing a pledge to GOD to NEVER own a GUN....I think that was the first emergence of my new and improved mindset. My American and personal RIGHTS were being assaulted in my own church! Thus, I am sharing this all with you so that you will avoid the deceit I encountered, should you venture into a similar setting.
I told my pastor flat out that I would NEVER sign anything like that. Putting aside that 'swearing anything to or in the name of God' is antithetical to Biblical initiative, I explained, I am MARRIED to a MARINE for Pete's sake...and I have a family full of servicemembers. My own father not only owned, carried and collected firearms for military and then business-sake, but he shot for SPORT with all the 'uniformed guys' at his range. I was to SWEAR OFF MY HERITAGE because of something this Obama/Wright church was PUSHING ON ME? WHAT? DOESN'T MY WAY OF LIFE COUNT FOR ANYTHING?
NO WAY! I guess maybe I shouldn't have been so 'polite and quiet and thoughtful' about my conservative views because it sure hit the fan when I started sharing my view of things. The arrogance of those now in power is profound and like nothing I have ever seen in the USA in my lifetime.

Then there was the time that I was 'Worship Leader' a few years ago in my UCC church, wherein our 'guest member/clergyperson' who was delivering the sermon that day, asked me to lead a group reading of some UCC Resolution decrying the Iraq war. This clergymember SPRUNG this on me the day of the service. At the lectern, I declared that I was not in accord with this, prompting said clergyperson to lead the collective reading himself. Basically it was a declation that the whole effort in Iraq was 'wrong and useless' and that to support it was 'evil and wrong'.
No harm done at the moment, and we agreed to disagree. But inwardly, I was agonized, for just hours before that service and the days before, I not only had upclose and personal interaction with local military personnel back from Iraq and now back in CT, but I had actually 'treated' and did a dressing change on a U.S. Marine for cellulitis he'd contracted in Gitmo (after two tours in Iraq, I might add) guarding feces and urine-flinging 'detainees'....SEMPER FI!
I overcame my distaste for my church's blatant disregard for my support of our troops and wounded warriors and maintained my fondness for the clergyperson who'd 'set me up' in my own church. If ever it was clear to me that I was in a group opposed to all traditional American values and support of our military, the UCC I was in was it.
Which brings me back to MARTHA DEAN FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL. Now I know for a fact that Martha is a gun supporter. She has said so and she supports a person's right to legally own and bear arms. This singular, simple statement of position prompted me to learn more about Martha and the many OTHER ways I am certain she will help me to preserve and honor my heritage, my family's way-of-life with my patriotic duties uninterfered with. MARTHA DEAN will help to assure that people such as myself have the same rights, at least as everyone else in America today. She will support our servicemembers and DoD workers.
I want you to take a look at what Martha is all about and let me know if you don't, also, believe that she is the woman for the job of CONNECTICUT ATTORNEY GENERAL. She is a woman good for her word and while promoting equality, she will help assure that those who are NOT all up into the 'progressive-leftie-agenda' have our RIGHTS assured, too!
An Attorney General such as Martha would help me sleep better at night, knowing that the law promising that I can live in peace and respect as a white, hetero, Christian female. I want to know that I may worship freely without interference and harassment from those who pretend to be like me, but are not and those who pretend to 'support me', but do not. And I want there to be no 'blurring' of the line between church and state. I want to know that my hard-earned money--wherever it is 'donated'--be it to a church or charity or political organization-- is used as promised and not 'waylaid' by corrupt partisans.
May God Bless all the TEA PARTY PATRIOT CANDIDATES this and upcoming election cycles. They support what people such as myself yearn for these days. We have rights, too, and we want to preserve our way of life for our children and grandchildren.
May those who seek to 'suppress and redistribute' what they steal from good American citizens as they support America's enemies, fail utterly. I pray for the day God will resurrect this country and help us back to good-standing with those the current progressive-lib administration has alienated. We must stand with our allies in this world today, working always for peace and harmony and love.
A new day is coming. Join me, saying,
"NOT GOD DAMN AMERICA, BUT GOD BLESS AMERICA!"
It's time to clean out an infection politics today and start anew with that which is fresh and clean and pure and....FAIR FOR ALL....as we obey the laws of our fine country.
