Is 2015 a Good Year for you?

Just a quick question – has this year been a good year living in CT for You & Your Family & Friends?

Are you rethinking staying or leaving here in CT?

This has been a crazy year & not in a good way so I’m ranting just a bit here & shaking my fist at “the powers that be”

State taxes raised to an outrageous amount at the state level because the democrats locked out the republicans from the budgeting table. Before the election last year we were repeatedly told there was going to be not only a balanced budget but there would be a surplus so that all taxpayers would get a $55.00 rebate…. well no one ever got the rebates & gee surprise surprise right after the election of 2014 it was announced that there was a problem with the budget (hhhmmm guess the republican candidates were right about that one too)

Town taxes also raised to outrageous amounts only to be voted down 4 times so the increase in the wasteful spending is not as high as the democrats had planned to put through originally

Several friends have moved out of state due to the ever increasing taxes, the renters packed & moved out easily but some of the homeowners have made the hard decision to take the loss on the sale of their home which had more mortgage left than the current value of the property.

A few friends are stuck here but have had their adult children leave to follow better job prospects in other states since their jobs, I’ve heard of parents telling their adult children NOT to return to CT after college or military service because there is nothing good happening in CT in the near future… it is a sad thing when lifelong CT citizens are chasing their children off from the state because they see our state dying.

Prepping, Politics & Patriots – You Need to Get Active

What does Politics & Patriotism & Prepping have to do with YOU & Why do you need to pay attention to any of it?

To some the connection is quite clear to others not so much.

I would hope that you are in fact registered to vote & actually do so every campaign & town budget.
Failure to vote means that you are part of the problem that you might be complaining about – especially at the local level where your vote counts the most.

Do you know who your state level elected officials are?
When was the last time you paid attention to what they were in fact planning to pass in the way of laws?
Have you spoken up to your elected officials at the state level by either writing a letter or sending an email or making a phone call?
When was the last time that you actually went up to the state capitol to voice your opinion at a state hearing on a bill?

We have the most voice at the local level.
You may live in a state that has a state capitol that is far away but your town hall is in your town & you should at least get up there a few times a year.

The laws that your elected officials affects your lives on all levels – you should at least know what is going on in your town, state level government levels.
We may not have a voice at the federal level other than to vote every 6 years for a Senator & every 4 for President but it is quite different at the State & Local levels.

You need to speak up to your town & state level elected officials & that is where change can & will be made

Pay attention because what your elected officials are doing raises your taxes & changes laws that may affect your Constitutional Rights or even your ability to grow your own food
If you prep but keep your head in the sand & keep silent are you any better than the “sheeple” so often made fun of in the professional prepping websites & blogs?

This year the blogging got put to the wayside as I got up off my duff & ran for office
That was quite an “interesting” experience to say the least
What are YOU going to do in 2015 to make Your Life & Our Country a Better Place?
