Have they been naughty or nice?
We're making a list and checking it twice,
AFJ is very precise.

We cheer at their best
And boo at their worst.
Sometimes, they just seem cursed.

We want to know who should get the coal?
Who took the leading role?
Hearing your thoughts is our goal.

Go on, submit your vote
Be the first and you can gloat!

The end of the year is approaching and the holiday season is upon us, which means it is time for the Alliance for Justice 2010 Naughty or Nice list!

Our current nominees include:

Alliance for Justice
Naughty or Nice List: 2010 Edition

Naughty
Nice

The Roberts Court, for engaging in judicial activism favoring the interests of powerful corporations over everyday Americans. Justice Stevens, for thirty-five years as a defender of individual liberties, and equal access to justice.
Glenn Beck, for using his national platform to promote fear-mongering and divisive politics. Dahlia Lithwick, for serving as a cogent voice in opposition to the conservative Corporate Court and torture.
BP/Halliburton/Transocean, for causing the worst offshore oil spill and environmental catastrophe in history. Keith Jones, for courageously transforming the personal tragedy of the Deepwater Horizon explosion into efforts to reform to the Death on the High Seas Act.
Bart Stupak, for limiting low-income women's ability to access reproductive health care under the Affordable Care Act. Nancy Pelosi, for standing at the helm of the successful effort to pass health care reform.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio, for leading Arizona's charge to use discriminatory tactics to detain undocumented workers. Independent Judges, for issuing fair and independent decisions.
Mitch McConnell, for engaging in unprecedented obstruction to block yes-or-no votes on President Obama's judicial nominees. Al Franken, for speaking out against the rise of the Corporate Court.
Judge Martin Feldman, for refusing to recuse himself from deepwater drilling cases despite his significant financial stake in the industry. The Judges of the Iowa Supreme Court, for their commitment to an independent judiciary and core constitutional values.

Everybody has their own ideas about who deserves to be on the Naughty or Nice list for 2010. We want you to tell us who you think should be added. Did a senator, organization, campaign, community leader, judge or individual really inspire you this year? Or did they do just the opposite?

Send us your nominations by December 14th and the best ideas will be added to our list!

The election is over, but the results for Governor are unsettled. Whoever wins we will work with them to protect retirees rights. We will begin an educational push for all new legislators. We must get them to understand our health issues. Almost all the people we endorsed were elected and that's very important.

Political Negativism

I am disgusted with the present election campaigning. I can not remember an election in Connecticut with so much negative advertising. Both parties are guilty of it. Much of it borders on hate. I receive so much misinformation that I now go immediately to Snopes.com to verify the information. Almost always the information is false.
In order to vote intelligently this year one must wade through the dribble and sound bites that have become part of each campaign.

Hi one and all,
All of ARTC's supported candidates won at the primary polls. Our friends Dan Malloy and Nancy Wyman will be the Democratic candidates for Governor and Lt. governor come November. Should they win, ARTC will have a stronger voice in Hartford than ever before. Usually ARTC,AFT, and CEA are in agreememt when it comes to elections, but this year we chose to support proven education supporters rather than the big dollars.
