Okay, the day is here.

I guess people have been wondering why I haven't talked about the people running for office on the Democratic and Republican ticket. Well, quite simply, I've been quite busy gathering information and preparing stories to get into who running against who. For instance, it was well known for at least a month that Democrat-turn Republican D.A.Y.O. President Pudgie Delohery was being courted by the Democratic-turn Republican leadership of Wayne Baker and company to run against Lori Kaback. In fact, I last week, I went to the Catholic War Veterans Hall where the D.A.Y.O meetings take place and met with Delohery who all but confirmed the obvious.

Yeah, I could have done a post on how pathetic the Republican party is that they had to go out and find a former Kaback supporting Democrat to will their Treasurer slot or I could have ran off a list of questions surrounding Delohery but in the end, you have to ask yourself, what's more important, the issues that are not being covered, or the political desperation of a party that grabbed a candidate to run for Town Clerk not because of experience, but on the gamble that she's "popular" enough to beat Kaback, a person who actually collected more votes than Mayor Boughton in some wards and was second only to the Mayor it terms of total votes in '05.

Yeah, I could have written about that or the countless tips and bits of info I've received over the last month but my interest is elsewhere right now. My thoughts go back towards an interview I did with Jesse Jackson one week before the '06 primary. During the interview, I asked him for his comment on a political dirty trick the Lieberman camp was doing to Lamont supporters and he told me something I'll never forget. Basically he said it's not important and the only thing that was important was to "keep your eye on the ball." In other words, that silly stuff is of little meaning when it comes to what's important to people and to the big picture...A CHANGE IN THE WAY THINGS ARE DONE.

In '06, Jackson's "eye on the ball" was the war and making a statement by beating Lieberman in the primary... in '07, my "eye on the ball" is putting a spotlight on the political stubbornness of a Republican Party that has gone out of control.

So, what's more important, silly political nonsense or a change in the way things are done in Danbury. This election will not be about a popularity contest, it won't be about who can throw the most dirt, it won't even be about illegal immigration. It WILL be about the mayoral record of Mark Boughton and the record of the Republican majority of the Common Council and the job they done in the last two years.

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS...period.

Let other babble about stupid stuff, I haven't the time for that type of stuff and the readers who email me with their concerns about the condition of Danbury don't have time to read silliness either. The people I talk to, who are Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, are VERY concerned about a number of issues in Danbury that are either not being addresses, or created by the current administration and are looking for answers to their concerns so they can make a sound decision come election day in November.

I've learned from my interview with Rev Jackson and I'm interested in only one thing, doing what I can to lay out a case for change and with my years of material, I plan on presenting my case to the residents of Danbury who have been let down by a mainstream media that stubbornly refuses to report properly on what's happening in this city.

...you will all be witnesses.
