Linda McMahon For Senate

Go to the new Linda2010.comDear Greenwich Roundup,

It's been quite a week in Connecticut's race for U.S. Senate.

Linda started the week on Sunday with a much-anticipated appearance on WFSB's Face the State.

On Tuesday, Scott Brown's historic come-from-behind win reframed the Connecticut Senate race and had political pundits rethinking Dick Blumenthal's aura of invincibility.

Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer commented: "I think the effect of Massachusetts is going to show that even in New England, this seat is not safe [for Democrats and Blumenthal]."

Wednesday, Linda unveiled a new, state-of-the-art website. The Hartford Courant, observes that the new Linda2010.com "looks great and is easy to navigate, with lots of multi-media bells and whistles," including a section dedicated to Linda's positions on a broad swath of issues.

On Thursday, Linda was a guest on ABC's The View, and this coming Sunday, she will appear on WVIT's Connecticut Newsmakers, which airs at 6 a.m. on Sunday, January 24th, on Channel 30 NBC affiliate.

But Linda isn't the only U.S. Senate candidate making news.

Rob Simmons this week, shockingly, refused to retract a 2006 endorsement he gave to a Massachusetts health care plan that The Wall Street Journal says "bears an uncanny resemblance to ObamaCare."

Instead, he reiterated support for the this plan, despite a new study that finds insurance costs in Massachusetts have skyrocketed at least 21% faster than the U.S. average, and employer-sponsored premiums there are higher than in any other state.

A new poll finds that, by a 2-to-1 margin, Connecticut voters oppose taxing people who don't have health insurance, but that's exactly what the Simmons-backed 'individual mandate' would do.

Conservative columnist Kim Strassel, writing in The Wall Street Journal, notes that "Republicans and independents despise the mandate, with many believing it is downright unconstitutional." Says Strassel: "The program has bombed, creating giant costs while realizing minimal benefits. A big reason only 25% of Massachusetts voters strongly approve of ObamaCare is because of this experience."

Linda believes that ObamaCare is the wrong health care solution for America. She opposes the plan because it drives up health care costs, it cuts Medicare on seniors, it increases premiums on the middle class and it puts government bureaucrats between doctors and patients. She believes that before we can truly reform health care, we have to reduce costs, and that is why she supports common sense reforms.

Washington is in chaos and it's clear voters want leaders with an outside perspective and real world business experience.

Since announcing her candidacy for U.S. Senate, Linda has attended nearly 250 events all around the state and more than 10,000 volunteers have signed up to support her campaign.

Linda is clearly the candidate with momentum in this race.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
Linda

01/20/10 Reader Submitted Comments: In Defense of Scott Shields

Dear Blogger,

After some investigating and phone calling, I have discovered that Joseph Hudak did NOT post the following entry:

"In Defense of Scott Shields," and does not, in fact, even use a computer. I believe it may be a felony to impersonate a New York City Fire Department employee? Mr. Hudak does not use a personal computer, so can not follow eBlogger's "impersonator complaint" prompts.

I am VERY concerned that Mr. Shields, a convicted felon, is once again conning the public by either posting to your blog or having someone else post for him as Joseph Hudak. This blog contains enormous libelous material that Mr. Hudak would NEVER write. Mr. Shields is clearly using you and your blog to attempt to clear his name. I intend to contact his legal supervising agent (ie. parole officer) tomorrow to register a formal complaint with her.

01/20/10 Reader Submitted Comments: After Scott Brown

Linda McMahon For Senate

Dear Greenwich Roundup,

Scott Brown's historic upset victory last night in Massachusetts sent shockwaves around the country that will be felt for months to come. His remarkable come-from-behind win in which he overcame a 30-point deficit is an encouraging sign for conservatives determined to send a fiscal conservative to Washington instead of another liberal, career politician to replace Chris Dodd.

According to pollster Tony Fabrizio, who conducted exit polling, 48% of voters said health care was the single issue driving their vote; 46% of voters wanted to 'send a message to Washington' with their vote.

Massachusetts already has its own version of Obamacare, and voters did not want to see that program replicated at the federal level.

It's important to note that former Congressman Rob Simmons not only supports the Massachusetts health care plan, but also believed as recently as October of last year that the government option backed by Washington liberals should be 'on the table.'

According to a 2006 report in The Day of New London: "Simmons has said every American has a 'moral obligation to buy health insurance' and "He supports a program proposed in Massachusetts that would require anyone who pays taxes either to pay for his or her own health insurance or be covered by an employer." (The Day, 10/29/2006)

As recently as October of last year, Simmons refused to take a stand against the public option; instead, he said repeatedly that the public option should be "on the table."

It wasn't until Sen. Lieberman came out against the public option, that Simmons flip-flopped on the issue -- just as he has on other liberal policies like card check, cap-and-trade, raising the federal debt ceiling and runaway deficit spending.

Washington is a mess, and voters are turning to fiscal conservatives to get the country back on track.

It's important that Connecticut's Republicans choose their next Senate nominee wisely. Too much is at stake, and this is no time to nominate a career politician who was one of the most unreliable voices for conservatives in Congress.

Linda has been opposed to the public option from the beginning because she has a principled opposition to government-run health care. She will bring fiscally conservative, common sense principles to Washington at a time when people across Connecticut and the country are desperately seeking a new direction.

As Linda said last night, "Scott Brown is only the beginning. The people are just getting warmed up."

Sincerely,
Linda

Someone, possibly even Scott Shields, is impersonating an FDNY employee (Joe Hudak) on your blog. Mr. Shields, a convicted felon and con man is using GreenwichRoundup to try to cast his name in a better light. I will be turning this information over to Shields' N.J. federal parole officer, Ms. Merrigan, tomorrow, as well as to FEMA investigators, who continue to collect information on this fraud.
