NorwalkTodayEndorses Andy Garfunkel for "Mayor of Norwalk" We endorse Andy Garfunkel with the
hope that, if elected, he governs to serve the greater interests of Norwalk. The city of Norwalk is starved for a leader who can restore common sense and make
our city a beacon of hope and prosperity. Mr. Garfunkel has the right qualities of leadership, the elevating, can-do message that we need for these anxious
times. The times cry out for a leader of Mr. Garfunkel's fine mettle.

Mayor Moccia Facing Mass Defection
Norwalk, CT. Are Norwalk’s Common Council Republicans walking away from their Mayor? "Kelly Straniti will not
be running. Mayor Moccia is taking Norwalk in a direction that nobody agrees with. Ms. Straniti is just one of four or five Republican Council Members who will
not be seeking reelection this year. It is clear that like a majority of Norwalk voters, the Republican Council Members do not support Mayor Moccia, his platform,
and his vision for our City" said Marc Bradley, chairman of the Norwalk Democratic Town Committee. (June 1, 2011)

Saturday, May 7, 2011. Santa Barbara, Independent. Common sense would dictate that a president who green-lighted a brilliant military operation resulting in Osama bin Laden's burial at sea would be deserving of some gratitude, or at least some grudging respect
from non-admirers. Instead, we're seeing silly conspiracy theories, vapid talking heads busily re-assigning credit for the mission's success to the Bush administration, and outlandish suggestions that dispatching
the world's most-wanted terrorist is a "distraction" from the real issue, which is, of course, the birth certificate. In a frenzied effort to circle the wagons, the loony right has finally succeeded in galloping over the
edge of the cliff.
