Family Institute of Connecticut Virtual Banquet

James Bailey Brislin is FIC's 2020 Stetson Awardee

Family Institute of Connecticut is pleased to announce that Attorney James Brislin will be FIC's 2020 Charles Stetson Awardee. The award is given each year at our annual banquet to whomever played the most pivotal role in a pro-family victory over the previous 12 months.

James, a former employee of FIC, has been our secret weapon for years. It is James who monitors the work of our opposition and passes on to us crucial information.

Never was that role more important than in this year of pandemic and quarantine. It was James who got wind of the two dates when the assisted suicide hearing would be held.

That the pro-assisted suicide lobby had inside information not yet available to the public is, sadly, nothing new.

But this year they tried to exploit that inside information, and the pandemic itself, to stack the deck against our allies in the disability rights community.

You can read Peter Wolfgang's article on it here. And Cathy Ludlum's article here.

Thanks to James, we were able to stop them. Indeed, because of this incident, FIC was the first to demand that the entire 2020 legislative session be shut down. And that is just what happened.

We have much to celebrate at our Virtual Banquet on Friday, October 2nd. And we hope you will join us...from the comfort of your home.
