Joes getting scared
okay
I work at Electric boat
well Guess who was today Wed 3/22/06
Out front the main gate when 1st shift ended and 2nd shift started But Joe Liberman.
okay now for someone who has lived the majorty of his Life in Groton and Works at EB.
you know that Only around election Time does a Sen or Representive Stands out front to be seen.
well and the big stuff like Subbase closing and Layoff's
then sometimes Simmons might be there to show he feels for us poor workers.

well anyways HE was there and in his group looked to be EB Unions Presadent's

so when I walked in I say Four Words to are hopfully Ex SEN." Ned Lemont For Senate"
then he did a realy Fake Sounding WOW Type sound.

1. Ned Lamont was asked about Lieberbush's seniority in Senate & wouldn't
it hurt CT to have a newbie senator that wouldn't be able to bring home the bacon. Lamont reminded the crowd that the sub base was closed and lots of people (do you know how many?) have been laid off in defense industry in CT, highlighting Joementum's dismal jobs & money record here. (This occurred during a Lamont meeting in Torrington)

At that point I thought, I really want this guy (Lamont) to run vs. Joe. He might not win but he's got some good reasons to run against him and if nothing else, it might move Joe away from *repukes (well, we can only hope).

2. Joes not realy helping South Eastern CT much anyways
the base was on the closer list it was saved.
but Ned would of done the same as Joe did since Chris Dodd realy was the moving force behind saving the base since he is Eastern CT's SEN :)

but Liberman is not helping us EB Workers neather is simmons.
since About 2400 workers or so are going get layed off work at Electric boat by the end of the year
Including my self.

No doubt Rell and her cabal along with LIEberman and Simmons will prance around about how they "SAVED THE BASE"!!!

Sorry ->:hug:

6. very sorry, too--CT with its manufacturing background & closed factories
should be ahead of curve in solar-wind-hydrogen technology---but without leadership, I guess it's a big dud.
