U.S. Senator Chris Murphy‘s dogs might be barking as he limps his way to the Park City after walking 20 miles per day, but here’s your chance to bark out some concerns as he continues his series of town hall meetings on Thursday, 6:15 p.m. with a stop at East End Baptist Tabernacle Church, 548 Central Avenue. The session will take place in The Fellowship Room in the downstairs area of the church.
“There is nothing like summertime in Connecticut,” said Murphy. “I decided to spend part of my summer walking the state because I couldn’t think of a better way to meet people and see things I probably wouldn’t have otherwise. Since I was elected to Congress, I’ve been trying to find new ways to keep in touch with the people who sent me to Washington, and this is just another way that I can get some new ideas to bring back to Congress while also getting some great exercise. Who knows how far I will get this week, but I’m going to have fun for as long as my legs allow it.”
Murphy started his walk on Monday in Voluntown near the Rhode Island border and has headed west for Connecticut’s most populous city with stops along the way. Each night he has concluded his journey with a town hall meeting. Murphy will discuss his work in the Senate and field feedback from constituents.
Murphy, do us in Bridgeport a favor, don’t come here. We don’t need any more kiss-ass politicians visiting us and promising our poor citizens everything but the moon. You are like all the rest, full of it. I am voting for Rootie Kazootie as a write-in.
Murphy, keep walking, and be it away from us.
The pastor is Rev/State Rep/Ganim Staff Charlie Stallworth.
Sooo … Please attend AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
That explains it all.
Now would be a great time for everyone in Bridgeport to throw banana peels out their windows. Murphy can slip on through to Fairfield much quicker that way.
Here come the negative knaves. All of you should go out and knock door to door and start creating a difference instead of being glued to your digital devices and post comments on OIB, Facebook etc. Get out of your houses and stop being passive pansies.
Frank, can you post your address? I planned on door-knocking Sunday morning. I need to make sure you see me doing this. We can take a selfie together and I will have Lennie post it and then I can share on FB and tag you in the post.
Mary Filo. I am not posting my address here on OIB (it’s easy enough to find; I am in the phonebook). You work on Republicans/Independents in the 130th and I will work on Democrats/Independents in the 130th. BTW, I like to sleep late. Don’t wake me up early or I will be even more of a grouch. 🙂
Frank, you just set me up with a challenge. I would really like to see if you can be grouchier than you are now. See you Sunday morning. I will bring the coffee!
Mary Filo. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES do I open my door until NOON. Some people are larks and some people are owls. I am an owl.
“Since I was elected to Congress, I’ve been trying to find new ways to keep in touch with the people who sent me to Washington, and this is just another way that I can get some new ideas to bring back to Congress while also getting some great exercise.” There isn’t one idea or thought Murphy will bring to Washington. This is how politicians manipulate the people. All the headline news about crime in Bridgeport will result in Murphy yelling we need more “Common Sense” Gun Control laws. He’s not saying he is fighting for harsher penalties for violating gun laws, he is advocating for more laws and regulations for the law-abiding citizens with guns. Please Mr. Murphy, move on to the next city or town. This scene is a page from the Kardashian’s public relations book.
Sooo … Gary. Run for public office.
Too many meetings to go to??? !!!
Mr. Gyure, if using Mr. is okay with you. I would love to run for office, unfortunately I don’t have the funds or resources to support a campaign.
I didn’t send Murphy to Washington so he won’t even consider me as a constituent. He should try to do a town hall meeting with the people in the Black Rock district but we know that won’t happen because most of them didn’t send him to Washington.
Mr. Tobin or Gary, you can call me Frank. You may not have directly voted for him or personally sent him to Washington DC as one of the two Senators from Connecticut. THE BOTTOM LINE is he is one of two senators from the State of Connecticut. That’s the reality, until the next election.
Show us the $, Chris! Money talk$. You know the rest of the saying. (Want our Vote$? $how us the $!)
Gary. You are right on target. This whole election-year campaign scenario, nationwide, all levels of office, could have been staged by the Kardashians.
This is from the Joe Ganim school of Bridgeport politics. Go to the East End, go to church, promise them any and everything, don’t give them shit, but don’t worry, they will forget until the next election.
Larry, Moe and Curly; Murphy, Blumenthal and Himes, and Ganim as Shemp, these stooges are a joke.
If you have a chance, go meet him and tell him what you think directly to his face. GOODNIGHT.
Who cares about this used-car salesman? Maybe he can go to New York and destroy that state, too!
