With two months until the General Election in Connecticut, and most of the filing deadlines passed, the final slate of candidates is shaping up and it seems like a good time to look at the process of getting on the ballot in Connecticut. The recent court decision in Stamford of James Caterbone v. Susan Bysiewicz provides all the more reason to look at this. Let’s start off by taking a general look at the process. Connecticut election law provides a few different ways that candidates can get on the ballot. The first is to become the candidate of a major party. Currently, Connecticut has two major parties, the Democrats and the Republicans. To be a major party, the party’s candidate for Governor in the most recent regular gubernatorial election must have received at least 20% of the vote. The other way to be a major party is to have at least 20% of the people who have registered as belonging to any party register with the party. To illustrate this, there are around 2.2 million registered voters in Connecticut. Around 450,000 are registered as Republicans, which is just barely over 20%. However, the percentage is not of all the registered voters, but of those voters that have registered as belonging to a political party. Than number is closer to 1.3 million registered voters, and the 450,000 Republicans is well over 20%. It is also worth noting that less than 1% of voters who have registered with a party affiliation have registered with a minor party. Major parties have the right to endorse candidates for any office in Connecticut. When they make an endorsement, they have two weeks to file the endorsement with the Secretary of the State’s office. This gets to the case of James Caterbone of Stamford. On May 11th, the Republican Party nominated Mr. Caterbone to run for State Representative in the 147th Assembly District. The Certificate of Party Endorsement, however, was not put in the mail until Friday, May 21st. In addition, it was not sent as “certified mail, return receipt requested”. The Secretary of State’s office did not receive the letter until June 2nd. The Secretary of State’s office considered the certificate invalid based on their understanding of General Statutes 9-388. Mr. Caterbone sought to have the court mandate that the Secretary of State’s office accept the certificate. However, the court found that General Statute 9-388 was very clear and the court could not mandate the Secretary of State’s office to accept the certificate. As such Mr. Caterbone will not be on the ballot in November. Various people commented about how cavalier the Stamford Republican Town Committee seemed about protecting their ballot line, which is what caused me to look more closely at this case, as well as explore what is involved in getting ballot line access for minor parties. While 20% is the magic number for major parties, 1% is the magic number for minor parties. To have a line on the ballot, a minor party must have received 1% of the vote on the specific ballot line in the previous election. If they do this, they can endorse a candidate for the office in a manner very similar to how major parties endorse candidates. Otherwise, they need to petition to be on the ballot, the same way any petitioning candidate would. They would need to get valid signatures.

Sure, the U.S. Patent Office was where Thomas Edison unveiled his light bulb, Eli Whitney introduced the cotton gin and Robert Fulton brought the steamboat to public consciousness. It’s also where Kathleen R Stigar-Brown let the world know about her clitoral clip. For every important invention registered with the Patent Office, there are, it seems, two perverted contraptions examined and inspected by government officials. Read more …

In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people, there was this doctor who visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu. Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it, and many died. The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different, the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home. The doctor couldn’t believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy. A hairdresser in NZ said that several years ago many of her employees were coming down with the flu and so were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. The moral of the story is to buy some onions and place them in bowls around our home. If we work at a desk, place one or two in our office or under our desk or even on top somewhere. Try it and see what happens. A man who had contacted pneumonia was very ill. Someone cut both ends off an onion, put one end on a fork and then placed the forked end into an empty jar. He placed the jar next to the sick patient at night. The onion was black in the morning from the germs and the patient began to feel better. But… Please be reminded that LEFTOVER ONIONS are poisonous! Some of us don’t use a whole onion at one time. We save the other half for later use. Onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions. We should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion; it’s already contaminated enough just by being cut open. If we take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy, we will probably be okay. But if we slice that leftover onion and put on our sandwich, we’re asking for trouble. Let us be very careful about onions from now on. It is dangerous to cut onion and use it to cook the next day. It becomes highly poisonous for even a single night and creates toxic bacteria which may cause adverse stomach infections because of excess bile secretions, and even food poisoning. Please pass it on to all you love and care.
