With the Democratic presidential primary race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton gaining more attention in Connecticut, and the latest polls showing a statistical tie between the two heavyweights, endorsements are popping up all over the place...even in Danbury.
Yesterday local Democrats gathered at the Library and held a press conference in support of Clinton.
Democratic leaders from Newtown and Danbury urged residents to vote for Sen. Hillary Clinton in Tuesday's Democratic primary.
"Her positions are right and correct for this country," former U.S. Rep. James Maloney said, touting Clinton's universal health care plan.
Democrats showing support for Clinton on Thursday afternoon during a press conference in front of the Danbury Library included state Rep. Jason Bartlett, D-Bethel; former Newtown Selectman Joseph Bojnowski, Danbury Town Clerk Lori Kaback, Danbury Central Labor Council president Jim Juliano, and Mary Consoli, president of Danbury Nurses Union, Unit 47.
"Her experience brings credibility to the fact we're going to have real change in this country come January of next year," said Bartlett, adding that Clinton has the experience necessary "to turn our economy around."

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
