Ned Lamont gets IT!!!!!!!
http://nedlamont.com/blog/1594/the-flag-burning-amendment-of-national-security">"The flag-burning amendment of national security"

http://www.journalinquirer.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=17262708&BRD=985&PAG=461&dept_id=161556&rfi=6">Journal Inquirer:

“This is all politics, it has nothing to do with fighting a real war on terrorism,” Lamont said. “This is the flag-burning amendment of national security. It’s just an irrelevant game of politics.

“If I was Bush I would push this, especially with his own National Intelligence Estimate saying that the war in Iraq had made America less secure and with the war inflaming tempers around the world,” he added. “With his own intelligence agencies contradicting everything that Bush and Lieberman have said, they have to shore up their defense, so they come up with this.”

Lamont also said he would have opposed the bill backed by Lieberman, “because it won’t withstand legal scrutiny.”

“We haven’t brought any of these terrorists to justice in the last three years because it was struck down by the Supreme Court and we’re setting ourselves up to make the same mistake again,” he said. “The idea that we can detain people who are in this country absolutely legally without rights, it’s not American.”



Sherrod Brown needs to take some pointers from Ned Lamont.

4. I'm canvassing for this man!
Tomorrow, in Groton. Hey Calico, are you going to be there? Contact the Lamont campaign in New London if you don't know about the coordinated Lamont/Courtney canvassing 10-2.

7. I may have to subscribe to the J-I
It's been really good the last few months... (and, they've published a few of my letters, too!!)

They used to be far right, but they must have gotten new owners the past few years.
