Chuck Levesque for Senate
Rhode Island’s Future reports that State Senator Chuck Levesque faces a tough race in his district of Bristol/Portsmouth. I saw Sen. Levesque at the hearings on human trafficking, and he showed a real concern for passing laws that would really help people who are exploited. There was a lot of pressure, and anyone who questioned [...]
Halloween at the Armory
Perfect day for West Broadway Neighborhood Association Goblins and Gremlins Party and Parade. There were some scary costumes, There was a giant catapult that was shooting pumpkins the length of a football field. There was the Really, Really Free Market where everything was free. Unused stuff was re-incarnated as someone else’s must-have, and brisk trading [...]
Sample Ballot
Here’s where you can get a print-out of the ballot. I know that Kmareka readers know who they’re voting for, but there’s some fine print on the bond issues that you don’t want to have to be squinting at in the booth on Tuesday. I’m all for buying the old Rocky Point Park as a [...]

Carly Fiorina– Get Well Soon
I want desperately for Barbara Boxer to win the race for the Senate, and I want Carly Fiorina to win her battle against cancer and its complications. She is in the hospital being treated for an infection related to surgery. We’re all in the human race, and women, especially, understand. “We wish Carly Fiorina a [...]
Integrity
Linc Chafee could say that he did not leave the Republican Party– the Party left him. He had the integrity to vote his conscience against a war based on lies. Steve Laffey tried to grab the momentum of the right wing, and moved in, but only suceeded in helping to put Sheldon Whitehouse in the [...]
I’m Voting for Chafee
I missed his voice of conscience in the Senate, where he was the only Republican to vote against the use of force in Iraq– one of the few who had the political courage to stand against a war of choice that still takes the lives of American soldiers and Iraqui civilians. He served a term [...]
