09/29/10 PRESS RELEASE: Greenwich Realtor Joseph Barbieri Launches New Interactive Resource for Greenwich Real Estate

Realtor Joseph Barbieri from the Greenwich, Connecticut office of Sotheby’s International Realty recently announced the launch of his new real estate website, JosephBarbieri.com. Targeted towards meeting the needs of buyers and sellers in the region, the site serves as an online gateway to the Greenwich, Connecticut real estate market.

Having been a real estate professional for over 20 years, Barbieri’s knowledge of Greenwich and its housing market is both wide-ranging and in-depth. He is part of the team at Sotheby’s International Realty’s Greenwich office, which is comprised of seasoned Greenwich, Connecticut Realtors with an expertise in all of Greenwich, including communities such as Belle Haven, Conyers Farm, Mead Point, Old Greenwich, and Riverside.

“I hope that this new website will prove to be a useful resource for the area’s buyers and sellers,” says Barbieri. “Here you can access extensive listings of Greenwich, Connecticut homes for sale, learn more about our vibrant community, and get the latest market updates, among other things.”

Located approximately 45 minutes north of Manhattan, Greenwich is a historic town in Fairfield County that’s renowned for its high quality of life, top-ranked public and private schools, beautiful natural setting, and investment firms. Extending across a total area of over 50 square miles, it has the Long Island Sound as its southern border and has the city of Stamford and New York City’s Westchester County as its neighbors.

“The quality of life in Greenwich is hard to beat,” says Barbieri. “We have beautiful beaches and an abundance of parks here, as well as cosmopolitan commercial areas, long-standing cultural institutions, and some of the best schools in the country.” A resident of Greenwich for almost three decades, Joseph Barbieri has a personal knowledge of the way of life in this green and serene waterfront community.

For more information on the community, the wide range of available Greenwich, Connecticut homes for sale, and Barbieri’s services, visit www.JosephBarbieri.com.

09/28/10 CRITICAL DEADLINE, Thursday at Midnight, Will you help me?

reelect

Dear Friends,

Something interesting is happening out there. People across the political spectrum are starting to see this election for what it is: a stark choice between moving forward or going backward.

That is true in my race. My opponent is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on television commercials and mailings distorting the hard work I have done in the last 21 months to try to get this country back on its feet. And as you know, while we've seen some progress we have much more to do.

Interestingly, two hours ago, my opponent sent out an email blast asking for money and featuring the word "return." That got me thinking. Does he mean a return to the prosperity of the Clinton era? I don't think so. Just look at the supposed ideas his party is promoting and his radical right wing voting record in Hartford.

Make no mistake. He's talking about a return to the thoughtless failed ideas of wanton deregulation of the Bush administration. "Ideas" that ushered in the most severe economic decline since the Great Depression.

Everyone knows that we cannot let that happen again.

My opponent is a career politician who has cast over 2000 votes in public office. Votes that include: A vote against providing emergency contraception for rape victims. A vote against requiring insurance companies to cover hearing aids for children. AND, a vote against requiring insurance companies to cover bone marrow testing.

His record is radical, irresponsible, and wrong for Southwest Connecticut.

At midnight on Thursday, our campaign faces a critical filing deadline with the Federal Election Commission.

This deadline is an opportunity to say NO together to the radical and irresponsible agenda my opponent would push through if elected.

We are $15,768 away from our $50,000 online goal I set earlier this month. Thursday at midnight is the deadline. I know that together we can do this.

Will you help us reach that goal by contributing $500, $250, $100, $20, or $5 today? The legal maximum is $2400.
