March for Change

Thursday, Feburary 14, 2013

Leaving Wolfe Park at 8:30, going to Hartford CT. for 11am March.  Est. arrival back is 3pm

 

We have a bus for Monroe and are looking for 18 people to fill it!

"Our hearts are broken.  Not just in Connecticut, but around the country.  All eyes are on Connecticut right now.  What will we do about it?  What can we do about it?  Put all of us together as a collective, unified voice all focused on one singular goal and the answer is – everything.  We have all of the power.  Be heard. Help us: -Change the Conversation. Change the Culture. Change the Laws.

Together, we partner with Connecticut Against Gun Violence and their grassroots movement, March for Change, as we gather on the steps of the capital building in Hartford and plead with our legislators to enforce  common sense gun laws to protect our families

The march will take place from 11am-1pm on THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14th at the Hartford State Capital building.
We ask everyone to come wearing green to honor the victims that have forced this nation into action.  Your families, including children, are welcome to join.  Please bring a friend.  Come dressed for the cold weather as we stand together in solidarity.

There are TWELVE school buses across the lower Fairfield County region waiting to be filled to take us up to Hartford and back.
Each person is asked to share in the costs of these buses at $26 per person round trip.  Parking at the Capital building is tough so this eliminates the need for each of us to drive (~80 miles) , park, find the location and drive back.  Not only that, but we can socialize all of the way!
You can choose any pickup/dropoff location that is convenient for you when booking your reservation.  The list below is constantly being updated with new locations, all at commuter parking lots – any ideas or suggestions please feel free to email us at marchforchange@ctmomsonline.com"

Good luck Laura, My husband and I tried to get some on Purdy Hill Road from Rt.111 to Rt.25. theyRead More said they can't do it. I have asked numerous times to have a police officer sit in Farmview or use our driveway, said it's too dangerous, go figure. Tired of drivers around town having no respect for other drivers and people walking on side of road. It gets to the point that I don't even want to leave my house. Get a clue people slow down, stay off phones, it's not hard.

Well, realistically, you won't get speed bumps (they just don't do that on public streets) but youRead More might get a speed trap once in a while. I drive this road every weekday and am just as appalled as you are by the speeding. And let me tell you, it's not always youngsters. I've seen a few blue-haired old ladies ride my bumper on that street. We have a similar problem on Barn Hill, another long stretch of road where drivers feel the need for speed. What I can't figure out (with all due respect) is why anybody with half a brain would choose either of those streets for their morning or evening walk. That's just tempting fate.

I found that I could turn them off in my profile under e-mail settings. However, it appears thatRead More this is now an all or nothing rather than by selected posts or individual articles.

Hi Steve, The comment stream doesn't appear on the homepage in the new design. Some of the sitesRead More that went 2.0 before mine did heard complaints about that. I don't know if it will be changed or not. Right now Patch is gathering all feedback.
