01/04/10 State Senator Boucher Endorses Debicella For A Run Against Greenwich Resident Jim Himes Congressional Seat

“Dan Debicella is the Congressman Fairfield County needs.” says Boucher

State Senator Toni Boucher (R-26) today endorsed Dan Debicella for Congress in Connecticut’s Fourth Congressional District.

“Dan is someone who understands the way to grow our economy and create jobs is by supporting small businesses and the middle class—not massive expansion of government spending and debt,” said Boucher. “Dan Debicella is the Congressman Fairfield County needs.”

Senator Boucher represents the heart of the Fourth Congressional district—including New Canaan, Redding, Ridgefield, Weston, Westport and Wilton. She is currently serving in the State Senate after serving twelve years as State Representative and over ten years on her local Board of Education and Board of Selectmen.

“Having served with Dan in the State Senate, I can tell you he is someone who understands the concerns of Fairfield County families,” said Boucher. “He has been a leader in trying to create jobs in Connecticut by eliminating wasteful government spending and build a positive environment for small businesses. Dan will bring the same values of free enterprise and individual liberty to Washington.”

Debicella is a second-term Republican State Senator representing the eastern part of Fairfield County, including Shelton, Stratford, Monroe, and Seymour. He grew up in Bridgeport where his father was a police officer. He was the first in his family to go to college, attending the Wharton School and receiving his MBA from Harvard Business School. He has spent most of his career in business, having worked for management consulting firm McKinsey in Stamford, as Director of Strategy at PepsiCo in Purchase, NY, and currently as Assistant Vice President of Marketing at The Hartford Financial Services.

“I am impressed with the solutions Dan has developed on the economy, healthcare, and transportation,” said Senator Boucher. “His ideas are in stark contrast with Jim Himes, who seems to believe that bigger government, more spending, and more government control over our lives is the answer to everything.”

Debicella’s economic proposals have included repealing the unspent stimulus money in favor of a temporary cut in the payroll tax that small businesses and middle class families pay, and creating a federal spending cap to rein in the nation’s $1.4 trillion deficit. “We need to stop growing government, and start helping the small businesses that will lead us out of this recession,” said Debicella. Debicella added that most families have not received anything directly from the federal stimulus package, while his tax cut would give $1,500 directly to middle class families and reduce the deficit.

On healthcare, Debicella said that he was opposed to the public option that Jim Himes has championed. “We do not need a government take-over of healthcare insurance and increased costs for the 94% of us with insurance to cover the other 6%,” said Debicella. “Instead, we need to lower healthcare costs to help both middle-class and cover more of the uninsured. Bipartisan ideas like interstate competition of private insurers, medical malpractice reform, electronic medical records, preventative medicine, and no-frills insurance will all do more to help the middle class than the so-called public option.”

“I am humbled to have the support of such an amazing leader as Toni Boucher, said Senator Debicella. “Connecticut is fortunate to have her as one of our leaders, and I am thrilled to have her on my team.”

Boucher added that she respected other candidates in the race, such as former State Senator Rob Russo. “Rob is a talented professional and a great person. I have enormous respect for him and believe he has a bright future in Connecticut politics,” said Boucher, “but having worked closely with Dan and knowing his problem-solving ability and tenacity, I believe he is the best candidate for Congress.”

Boucher joins thirty-six other Republicans who have already endorsed Debicella’s candidacy for Congress. Endorsements have included other state legislators, First Selectmen, Republican town chairs, and Republican State Central members from almost every town in the congressional district (see attached list).

The Fourth Congressional District comprises most of Fairfield County, including seventeen towns from Greenwich in the west, to Shelton in the east, and Ridgefield in the north. The seat was held by Congressman Christopher Shays from 1987-2009.

12/30/09 My New Year's Resolution

Dear Greenwich Roundup, As we approach the end of the year, it's time to think about a New Year's resolution that will stick. My pledge for 2010 is to unite Connecticut so that we can take back Washington. Uncontrolled spending, massive recurring deficits and unacceptable debt -- this is what career politicians have given to us. Government is not working for people, and career politicians are doing what they do best when their jobs are threatened: spending even more of our money and driving the country further into the red. We need to end this cycle, and the way to do that is to stop sending career politicians to Washington. Instead, we should elect a Senator who has the strength to end business as usual, make Washington work for Connecticut families, and most importantly, put people back to work. Share this message with your family, friends and neighbors. As we ring in 2010, you will have your chance to tell Washington you want a new direction. Right now, you can keep the momentum building by taking these last few hours of 2009 to sign up for a yard sign, a bumper sticker or the opportunity to volunteer. We are ready to take the voice of Connecticut families to Washington, D.C. I will work for you. The journey has already begun. See a glimpse. Best wishes for the New Year, Linda McMahon Linda McMahon for Senate 2010 PO Box 271386 West Hartford, CT 06127 Telephone: 860-244-2010

12/30/09 A critical year end deadline

Friends, It's almost time to put 2009 in the history books. Let's face it: tough year to end a tough decade. Too many Americans are still hanging on by their fingernails--worried about losing a job, losing a home, losing health insurance. Too many Americans are still bewildered by hatred focused on us from abroad. Too many Americans are worried about the future. But at the end of my first year as a U.S. Representative, I am optimistic. This year, we saw a reverse on the stem-cell research ban, the passage of Lilly Ledbetter legislation requiring equal pay for equal work, a credit card reform law, and substantial progress on the critical issues of health care reform, a financial regulatory overhaul and energy. Typical of our system, there has been compromise and delay. There has been gross partisanship, distortion, anxiety and anger. But we've taken some very important and difficult first steps. We've drawn on that limitless American capacity for improvement, that belief that we can always do better. That, at the end of the day, is the source of my optimism. For 233 years, we have pulled a more prosperous and just nation from the teeth of adversity. But, as I said, the fight is just getting started. At midnight on New Year's Eve, I'll have to report my fundraising total for the year to the FEC. The media, pundits and my opponents will use my fundraising numbers as a measure of our grassroots support, and as an indication of whether there is continued support for moving forward or desire to revert to the policies of the last decade. That means we have just 1 day left before the most critical fundraising deadline in politics. We are just $20,000 from our 2009 goal - I need to your support to put me over the top. Contribute $1000, $500, $250 or even $50 before the 2009 FEC deadline on December 31st Republicans are looking to take back the House in 2010, and I am squarely in their crosshairs. They think they have the momentum and are prepared to fight tooth and nail against me to take back this seat. They have their special interest-funded attacks, but I have you. I know that if I can reach my goal of $20,000 by Midnight Dec. 31st, there will be no doubt that my campaign has the necessary momentum going into 2010. Contribute $1000, $500, $250 or even $50 before midnight December 31st and help me reach my 2009 fundraising goal. We can't afford to wait until spring and summer to fight back - I need your help today. I can't be more clear: elections can't be won today, but they can be lost - especially at year-end when the Palin-Limbaugh-Beck right-wing kicks into high gear funding mode. I know I can count on you to make 2010 my strongest year yet. All the best, Jim
