An Experienced Democrat CONTRIBUTE

 

Early Gore
Hosting Al Gore at Trinity College

From the time I was a young man, I have spent much of my life serving the Democratic Party. I have always believed that the real values of the party emphasized a government that was honest with and worked on behalf of middle class citizens to protect them from powerful corporate interests. By helping the Democratic Party, I have always believed I was serving the best interests of America. My effort and sacrifice for the Democratic Party is extensive and includes the following:

Clintons
White House Christmas Party with the President and First Lady

Chairman, Connecticut Students for Al Gore 1987-1988

On The Road With Merrick

Merrick Alpert | 
Mar 10, 2010

This afternoon Norwich Bulletin reporter, James Mosher, asked Attorney General Richard Blumenthal if he was willing to debate me again. Mr. Blumenthal answered that he was too busy to agree to another public debate - his campaign adding that, "We'd like to wait until after the convention." Too busy to engage in a substantive discussion about the issues facing Connecticut citizens, and how he would recommend addressing these problems and better serving the needs of the citizens of this state? What could possibly be more important or necessary? Connecticut Democrats should be wary of any candidate who tries to duck his opponent in a clear effort to avoid a rigorous primary election. Because what this state cannot afford is a Connecticut Coakley. If the Attorney General can't take on a fellow Democrat who is far behind him in the polls, how is he going to stop Linda McMahon and the Republicans?
