  1. I have said and believe that David Walker skills and abilities could serve a greater good for America if he would follow up on what he was fighting for in his “60 Minutes” interview and especially now when the direction of the large tax cut and military spending that is not being paid for therefore putting America deeper in the red.

    If you Google David Walker you will find another David Walker Biography
    Civil Rights Activist, Writer (c. 1796–c. 1830)

    Walker stood by his position, believing that his support of violence was a means for slaves to regain their humanity, not as a reprisal tactic. With the end of slavery and discrimination in America, Walker envisioned “no danger but we will all live in peace and happiness together.”

    Walker’s actions changed the tone and aims of the abolition movement. Most abolitionists had supported the gradual phasing out of slavery, but Walker declared that the institution was a scourge that required immediate elimination. And instead of supporting the return of freed slaves to Africa, he believed that every African American had the right to be a full and equal citizen of the United States. His fiercely argued views would affect and inspire others for years to come.

    Walker references within the Bible and the Declaration of Independence to passionately argue against slavery and discrimination.

  2. Dave I hope you aren’t going to leave the state. The professional politicians got you this time, but if they get in again, God willing it will be the end of them in this state. The citizens need, maybe not deserve, your voice of reason and cogent thought.

  3. *** I wish Mr. Walker the best of luck in whatever path he decides that is best for him & his family now & the future. His continued task to lower state spending & taxes in Bpt. has been a continued battle since the short time I’ve known him. Republicans, Democrats or Independents ; it does not matter if there political message is clear & they recognize the plight of all the over taxed, unemployed, adverage to middle-class Ct. citizens & are not Trump supporters.***

    1. Mojo, I agree with you but David Walker has never spoke out against 45 and that’s because I thought Walker was bigger person and that he would say something.
