I heard a gentleman from Hartford call Dan's show today, and he tried to make the point that if it were not for Welfare and the selling of illegal drugs on the streets, inner city folks would have no source of income.  Dan asked the caller, "What do you think should be done to solve the problem?".  Silence on the other end.....  The inner city voter has been hoodwinked for so long by liberal politicians, that they can't even muster up the strength to think for themselves.  It's not their fault.  They have been conditioned to be dependant on the Government, and the scary thing is - many don't even realize it! 

President Obama recently sought to end a 6 year school voucher program in Washington D.C., under pressure from the NEA public teachers union.  Poor families could send their children to better performing private and parochial schools with a $7,500 annual voucher under this program.  The positive result was an embarrasment to the underperforming D.C. public schools.  When the community got wind of the President's plan to end the school voucher program, they spoke out.  Obama backpeddled and found a way to please the community and the NEA, or did he?

Obama now proposes to permit all of the children who currently partake in the school voucher program to graduate.  After that, poor families in D.C. will once again be at the mercy of one of the worst public school systems in the country to teach their children.  Way to go, Mr. President.

The sad thing is, liberal politicians who rely on the inner city vote to get elected, have no interest in helping people to help themselves.  Rather, they wish to keep people surpressed and dependant on the Government.

Dear Dan,
Chris should be angry and I am way beyond angry and have been for years. We have a justice system that protects the criminals and intimidates the victims. I am happy that you are back on Mary Ellen and her killer still sitting protected, fed and housed by our hard earned money.
It is not like this guy might not be guilty. He is guilty and the trial should have been over with by now and Williams should be history.
Thanks to the liberals in the political system, media and on the street, Williams trial is being stalled until people like Chris and the rest of us that believe he needs to be executed fall by the wayside and let the call for justice die down. Then and only then they will sneak him off to trial.
They are in for a surprise! You and other shows should have a portion of your show as often as you see fit to keep us reminded to keep up the call for justice in not only Mary Ellen's murder but that of the family in Cheshire and I have and still do harp on the murder of Mary Jo left to drown in Ted Kennedy's car. Mary Jo clawed for at least two hours in that car before drowning.
I wrote about that to Brad's show when he mentioned Kennedy's Brain Cancer. I believe that Mr. Kay is the one that answered me and told me to get over it.
Trust me when I say I am boiling over and I will not forget or get over it. Everyone let that girl down, her family and even her friends. They all caved in to the Kennedy power and money.
So Chris, keep being angry and keep it in the head lines. Mr. Kay said that Mary Jo's death will be forgotten when Kennedy dies as it should be. Mr. Kay does not know me, I will be writing her name and telling of her death in Kennedy's car while they are having his funeral. When he is buried then Mary Jo will have justice.
Thanks for bringing these people back to life as we fight for their justice.

Hi Dan,

Please tell me this isn’t true.

While watching the Uconn game Saturday in a local watering hole in Torrington I noticed our small TV to the side was airing something about banning GPS units from vehicles. I was unable to switch TV’s or turn up the volume at the time as the game was in the heat of the moment. Apparently some great legislator claims they are diminishing the line of site of drivers and they should be banned.

I tried going to NBC30’s website to see exactly what they were proposing but was unable to find anything. I personally use my GPS for its Bluetooth technology to keep me hands free to abide by our laws. It also displays my speed to keep me in check, actually keeps your eyes more on the road and not down to the dashboard.

I let my 17 year old daughter utilize to get her way around towns like Waterbury so she doesn’t get lost in an undesirable neighborhood for her safety. Most folks use so they don’t need to look at maps in strange areas traveling for work or pleasure. We have these laws that are not enforced in fact the phone while driving laws are usually nollied in the courts. If they are going to go after the law abiding citizens it is time to crack down on the Puerto Rican pride pendants hanging from the rear view mirror.

I believe they are already illegal but haven for bid they get pulled over and claim racial profiling.How about the Fido’s on the laps, that sure is a safe way to drive, add that to the bill.These folks in Hartford need to wake up as you well know.

Think I will start a new group, MADD, Mothers’ Against Dumb Democrats or FADD, Father’s Against Dumb Democrats, etc.

I love your show; wish my drive from Bristol to Torrington/Goshen was longer each afternoon to catch it in full. You should look into streaming on the internet so folks like me can listen at work online.

Keep up the good job.

Hi Dan, this one sounds too simple, but I'm ready are you ??

Now here is a brilliant solution to our problems!!!
This was an article from the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday.
The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?"
I think this guy nailed it!

Dear Mr.President,
Patriotic retirement: There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force; pay them $1 million apiece severance with stipulations:

    1) They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.

    2) They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.

    3) They either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.
