We Want You To Fix

The Damn Government

Veterans making a show of force in
Connecticut Politics. Is this the beginning
of the next Greatest Generation

A Retired Navy Pilot is set to challenge 107
th

District Rep. David Scribner. A US Marine
combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan sets
his aim to challenge Senator Toni Boucher in
CTs 26
th
Senate District. A US Marine veteran
of Somalia is running for Governor. At the
same time, other veterans across the state
contemplate running for other offices. One
thing is certain, November in CT is getting
very interesting and some might dare say
hopeful for a state drowning in partisan leadership failure.

AN EDUCATED MARINE FOR GOVERNOR?
March 2014, US Marine veteran, Dan Gaita threw his hat into the rink as a long shot
contender running as an unaffiliated, write-in candidate for Connecticut Governor.
Unlike the other major political party players running on the puppet strings of their
respective donors and campaign managers, Gaita is neither seeking donations, nor
asking for endorsements from anyone. He merely seeks the individual vote of CT
residents this November 4th. Gaitas entire campaign is based solely on social
media and at no cost to either him or his supporters.

His entire campaign and position
on nearly every controversial
issue is posted for everyone to
see via his Facebook campaign

When questioned on the
likelihood of a victory in
November Gaita cited that most of
his facebook postings and
campaign messages have been
read, liked or commented on by
over 30,000-60,000. When one considers that the election for CT Governor last time
around was decided by about 6,000 votes we start to see why the CT Republicans
and Democrats are getting a bit quiet about his campaign popularity.

it is only a matter of time before they make up some sort of crazy criminal
accusations or falsely frame me for some crime that I never committed. It seems
to be the time tested strategy of politics. said Gaita.

He has seen it before. In 2009, the Bethel Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Gary
Chesley falsely accused Gaita of hate-crimes and falsely claimed that Gaita violated
the Military Code of Conduct. These false allegations came after Gaita exposed the
evidence showing Chesley had flat out lied on multiple occasions to the residents
about the schools accreditation, population trends, and falsified information that led
to a $30,000,000 town debt. As a result, Gaita studied the CT Practice Book, filed a
lawsuit and fought a three-year court battle and a two-week trial on his own.

At the end, the Jury ruled that the Superintendent lied and that his comments about
Gaita were, in fact, defamatory. Dr. Chesley is no longer the Superintendent of
Bethel Schools and Gaita cleared his name. He also learned how to litigate on his
own and won several precedent setting arguments in his trial.

Today, Gaita is the co-founder of Operation Vet Fit, a combat veterans charity. He is
also a local advocate for improved government accountability and transparency.

When pressed on his potential of winning the election in November, Gaita added:

I clearly understand the odds are stacked against me. But so did our
forefathers when they sent off the Declaration of Independence to the King. We
all know how that ended and thus how America began.

Gaita is most commonly told that his campaign will only hurt the candidate running
against Malloy, probably Ambassador Foley to which he asserts that his positions
are so clearly down the middle that the votes he gets will come from both sides of
the isle. Thus the argument of him dividing one set of votes is moot.

I am here to represent the people of CT that are tired of entitled power-elite
pedigrees destroying the integrity of our neighborhoods, and our government. I
am not here to represent the highest donor or the wealthiest corporation. I will
represent everyone and give everyone an equal seat at the table. Those
currently in office, that have squandered the wealth of our State had their
chance, and they blew It. added Gaita.





As more information becomes available on this new bread of candidates, we will
keep you posted. Currently, the major media outlets and journalist are being told to
stay away from the Gaita campaign since he has no plans of advertising with them so
any coverage of his campaign may cost the network corporations lost revenue from
the major spenders supporting the wealthier political party players. An
observation Gaita said clearly demonstrates how uncapped political campaign
money has all but killed true journalism in America, and set our nation up for
continued terms of leadership disaster.

I AM NO SENATORS SON
If we continue to elect daddies little entitled, silver spoon fed, boy or girl to
serve as leaders, we should expect nothing more than little spoiled boys and
girls throwing tantrums in our legislative halls. If we want men and women of
character to fix the mess the kids made, than we had better start finding them
and encouraging them to run for office. It appears the Republicans and
Democrats have dropped the torch and need a hand picking it back up. That is
where we come in. We are highly trained at fighting to fix what the politicians
have destroyed. Dan Gaita
