Dear Ones:
     I am addressing this as much to those who do NOT care for Republican (let alone TEA PARTY) politics, as I am to my fellow 'TOM FOLEY' supporters.  The message I want to give you is that we are basically on the same page.
     Yes.  I said that. 
     It may seem that UNION members SHOULD, by definition, 'hang-onto' the old DEMOCRAT straight-line voting, just because IT IS EXPECTED OF THEM! 
     But I am here to tell you that it is time for a CHANGE!  I urge each and every one of you to THINK FOR YOURSELVES, talk with your brothers and sisters and then come to the right conclusion when you pull that lever on Nov. 2.
     It was my honor and pleasure to meet and speak with some AFL-CIO Local 1298 protesters at a recent Tom Foley/Scott Brown Rally at the Riverfront Center in Glastonbury.  For persons like myself, it is as natural as breathing for me to 'migrate' towards 'kindred spirits'.
     You see, I am new to politics.  I belong to 'the Obama/Wright church, in fact, the United Church of Christ.  They taught me politics but good.  They made it possible for then Senator Barack Obama to become our President.  'Google' something like this: http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&site=&source=hp&q=reverend+barbara+sexton+obama+synod+2007&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=reverend+barbara+sexton+obama+synod+2007&gs_rfai=CiPzif0ayTMrPLJjCNNicnKgKAAAAqgQFT9CdUr0&psj=1&fp=8ae97f4b2b613009 
and you will see what I mean.
      Anyway...as I said to Dan McSparran, Legislative Co-Chair Of the Communication Workers of America AFL-CIO Local 1298 and his fellow protesters...We DON'T come from different perspectives. 
     I also told all present that I was raised in a poor family with a father who worked as a 'safety engineer' on behalf of Union workers in the NYC Tri-State area. 
     What I didn't have time to share is that one of my Grandfathers worked as a 'nightwatchman' and the other was a 'presser' in the garment district in NYC. 
     Each year, the only winter coat my brothers and I got was one hand tailored for each of us by Grandpa Ike from (DANG-awful itchy, but made with love and FREE!)) heavy wool remnants.  You don't grow up like I did and then struggle on your own for decades to see what you've gained all sucked away by the GREEDY POLITICIANS in power today!
     I could no longer turn my back on the concerns of workers and immigrants than I can on my 'own'.  We (the Foley camp) have more in common than you will ever believe, my Union friends.  As a matter of fact, just check out the full-video (in two parts) of the event you were 'picketing', if you are curious to see what went on. 
     In it, you will see that we are not all that 'far apart' at all!
     We ALL want jobs and are concerned about jobs.
     We ALL worry about health care benefits and what's happening to them under the onus of 'Obamacare'.
     We want the very BEST education for our kids.  It's time to get rid of poorly-performing teachers who are so 'locked-into' the system that they consider themselves to be invincible.
     We want to be able to afford to send our kids to college.
     We want to fight terrorism in all it's forms and to protect our homeland.
     We want to squelch the destructive 'class/race/elitism/socioeconomic/partisan politics' mentality of those currently in power and get back to good old American basics.
     We love our military service members and our veterans.  We love our elderly, our babies, our mentally and physically challenged friends and neighbors and we love our animals.
     NEXT time, don't just stay outside, come INSIDE and listen to things for yourselves, dear Protesters!  I say these things to you as volunteer chair of Tom Foley's 'independents' coalition.
     Yep, I am trying to win your hearts and minds to vote for Tom for Governor of Connecticut, giving it my 'best shot'.
      I wouldn't do this if I had the slightest doubts about my new-found political activities.  In fact, Heaven help the person who tries to influence MY independent vote through force, intimidation or graft!  
     I know some of you consider yourselves 'wed' to Dan Malloy and all-things-Democratic per Union officials-on-high.  I get that.
     But let me tell you that just as the Malloy camp got that repetitive 'Bibb Ad' wrong, now Malloy's 'take' on Tom's 'healthcare option intentions' is even MORE ABSURD. 
     'No more mammograms'?  Give me a BREAK!  I'm a biochemist and an alternative health care provider MYSELF, just so you know...and one who's had two breast surgeries due to mammogram cancer scares.  C'MON!  You think I want to deny ANYONE A MAMMOGRAM or TREATMENT?  You've got to be kidding!
     Plainly put, Dannel Malloy is getting more and more desperate to take apart Team Foley-Boughton in ways that will continue to truly mislead you, his loyal followers.  Sad to say that the progressive-lib Dems currently in power are so 'far removed' from 'barn jacket wearers' that it's not even funny.

      Just please know that while I support Tom Foley, I am a 'tough nut to crack'.  If I didn't think that Foley and his people would DELIVER on what they PROMISED....I wouldn't even be doing what I am. 
     All I ask is that you check and check again on your own guys and see who's 'in it for themselves in the end' and who's really in the gubernatorial race to help ALL of Connecticut's residents, including hardworking Union workers.
     What we need now is not the province of any ONE party or political persuasion.  We need good people who are honest and who have common-sense matched by intelligence, positive support and vision.
     Do you want to be known as 'the guys who are all okay with the corrupt dealings and bankrupting of our fine country thanks to the politics of today'?  Or do you want to be known as the voter group(s) who 'MADE THE DIFFERENCE' to 'take things back' for all the people?  You can see just how horribly divided the country is now.  Whatever happened to our ability to 'agree to disagree' and live happily together ANYWAY in the United States of America?
      I leave you with these thoughts, my new friends:  I'm a 'newbie' to politics'.  Granted, I am an 'idealist' and an 'optimist' and probably very naive about some things.
      But I know Dan Malloy.  He was my neighbor across the street and then behind me--as I told you on October 9, 2010 in front of Glastonbury's Riverfront Community Center.  I 'love' Dan and his family to pieces, but I just can't vote for the guy! 
      Vote for Dannel Malloy and you will be branded securely as nothing more than 'the rank and file' of Connecticut--exactly the kind of heartless Obama-Pelosi-Reed 'classism' that is tearing-apart of our country. 
     Stick with that crew who readily embraces the stigmata of BLUMENTHAL and his bearing of false witness regarding the selfless and sacred sacrifices of those protecting our country honorably overseas and domestic military service.  Stick with him and you and your Unions will be branded, too!
     TRULY GOOD DEEDS need not be TRUMPETED!  They 'speak' for themselves!
     America is so much more than this!  We LOVE our country, our rights and our pre-eminence in the world and.  But under the current administration, we are ALL under assault!  We need the help of America's Unions, to work and fight with those of us who are sick of the status quo!
     Please do NOT undervalue what the Republicans (and the TEA PARTY PATRIOTS) are doing to help protect YOUR UNION JOBS from being shipped overseas...and to protect the future of your kids and grandkids. 
     You'd better believe that the regime you are supporting is living high on the hog....even if we're not.  Why do it any longer?
     The current Administration is fomenting 'classism, racism and elitistm'.  I cannot tell you, my Union friends, how much Tom Foley IS NOT ABOUT THAT.  Watch the video of him and Senator Scott Brown and hear them talk about jobs, jobs, jobs....and jobs.  I'll try to publish as many things like this as I can and you can judge for yourselves who you want heading up our home state.  If I heard it once, I've heard it a score of times, already, from Tom, himself: "EVERYTHING'S ON THE TABLE".  This means YOUR INTERESTS are on the table, as well, my friends.
     Let me be the irascible INDEPENDENT, ever-optimistic, that I am.  I pray that Union members will listen, reflect, digest and react according to their individual hearts and consciences and let "the capitalism that helps ALL of us" flow and flourish in a selfless and 'non-elitist' way! 
     Can you not see that the 'Obama-Pelosi-Reed-Malloy' alliance is killing industry in the U.S.?  Can you not see how current jobLESS numbers continue to SKYROCKET.
      I ask you, "Do you want an electorate at the mercy of those who think only of their own self-aggrandizement( from the White House to the Governor's mansion to Malloy's 'Barn Mansion' on down)... or will you instead go for a 'fresh start' and vote for Tom Foley for next Governor instead?"  Check out http://www.tomfoley2010.com .  His wife Leslie is helping her husband to come up with an education plan for our children that will knock your socks off. 
     Check out my index 'at the RIGHT' or 'google my name plus any subject you are interested in' and see what I have neatly and comprehensively written about for YOU, dear new friends, from this election cycle.
     Please let me know what you think.  Comment here or on YouTube or wherever and if you think I am 'off-base', TELL ME!  I am a seeker, just like you.
     Yes, the choice is yours, just like it's mine.  I don't know how long I will be enamored of this 'political train', Dan McSparran of the CWA.   But I promise you that I will fight as long and as hard as I can to see that your kids and my kids and our grandchildren inherit a BETTER WORLD with LESS CORRUPT politicians in charge.
     Unions have the power to do so much good.  And I want you to be a part of that.
     See you out there on the line again somewhere soon.  Till then, I know we will all 'keep the faith', each in our individual way, but for the common....good.
With Love in Christ
God Bless You this day and always,
Reverend Barbara Sexton
