In support of John Kissel

John Kissel is one of the few Republicans that have held on to a seat in the state senate for a number of years because he manages to reach and support a broad range of constituents in multiple towns.

Support for Lampert

I am a registered Independent. My affiliation is not tied to a specific party but with the candidate I believe is best for the job.

A Word of Caution—NOT

A recent letter to the editor claims that the Connecticut Republican Assembly is a radical organization and cites its thirteen principles as concerning. I had never heard of this organization so I checked into it.

Rise Against Hunger support appreciated

The First Congregational Church of Granby thanks everyone who contributed to the Rise Against Hunger meal packaging event that was scheduled for this past April. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the postponement and eventual cancellation of this hands-on service project.

Support for BLM

I placed a Black Lives Matter sign on my lawn and received three hostile, threatening unsigned letters of the same style in response.

Thanks Shirley Murtha

Shirley Murtha is ubiquitous and the Drummer readers are the beneficiaries! How one person can produce so much good journalism month after month is astounding.

Cultured-meat research

If Senators Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal care about animal welfare, they should support federal funding for cultured-meat research. For those who don’t know, cultured meat is grown from cells, without slaughtering nonhumans.

Support for Finance Chairman

Finance chairman Mike Guarco always has the best interest of everyone in this town foremost in his mind and heart. For many years, he has kept the Granby ship from sinking through some strenuous waters.
