A petition aims to rename Long Island Sound to the Gulf of Connecticut, garnering over 300 signatures in two days. Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont engaged with New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Twitter, referencing a similar renaming done by President Trump regarding the Gulf of Mexico. The petition highlights Connecticut's pride, claiming it as the pizza capital and promoting its tourist destinations like Bridgeport. The initiative seeks to emphasize the state’s qualities and merits, ultimately pushing for a more patriotic name for the waterway.
"We need to restore Connecticut Pride and Connecticut GREATNESS!!! We petition to change the body of water known as the 'Long Island Sound' to a more American name, the Gulf of Connecticut."
"America has long ignored the greatness of CONNECTICUT! Such as being the pizza capital of the WORLD!!! and home to beautiful Bridgeport, a landmark vacation spot."
