Fighting the good fight

3/2/2018

3/1/2018

 
Tonight I posted an article which, much to my surprise, stirred up a lot of derogatory comments and emotions. I was called a troll, a Bernie bot and many other things. That was a first for me, as I have always been a liberal, a progressive and never voted Republican. What disturbed me most was the quickness in which the opinions were posted and the anger in them.. First of all, I am not a troll and yes, i wanted Bernie in the beginning, but I voted for Hillary. I knew what Trump was from the very beginning, as I have watched how he treated people around him. And quite frankly, Hillary was the most "qualified" candidate, not necessarily the best candidate. I liked much of what Bernie projected, but it was not to be. He is a fighter, to be sure! And he is still stirring things up in his Senate seat. But we have to be realistic. Multi-millionaires will try anything at their disposal to rig, buy or otherwise steal this election. But there are people out there who are qualified, bright, intelligent, and can't be bought. I happen to be one of them. I don't have the luxury of millions of dollars at my disposal, to buy ads and put up posters, but my legs and feet are good and I intend to use them. I hope to visit most of the towns in Maine this summer to talk to people and listen to their concerns. I intend to visit businesses and possibly work a day in their industry to learn their problems. I have always been a problem solver my entire life, I know how to find answers. and that's what we need!
Maine has a history of electing Independents, and I hope I can convince enough people to believe in me to vote for me. But whatever happens, I will continue to fight for the people on the edge, who are one paycheck away from disaster, where one visit to the hospital can lead to bankruptcy, or a child's sickness can throw your entire family into chaos.
I've been there, and it's not fun. I am just an average guy who happens to be intelligent and can see a persons soul in the first five minutes talking with them. ,and I've had a lot of experience doing just that..
Thanks for listening. dennismoconnor.com for more on me and my family and thoughts.

    I am a 70 year young soul with the grit and stamina of a 40 year old, who has much to contribute before I decide to leave this world.
    I believe in equal rights for all. I am no better or worse than you unless you or I prove otherwise.
    You do not have the right to determine my life any more than I have the right to determine yours.
    Your beliefs are your beliefs, mine are mine. If they happen to coincide, wonderful!
    If not, let's talk about it!
    We can make this world a better place,
    but it will take all of us working together!
