Petition Drives to Overturn the Redistricting Map and Same-Sex Marriage Bills

Once again, Marylanders are exercising their Constitutional right to have the final say in the state of Maryland, by participating in petition drives to overturn two bad laws passed by the overwhelmingly Democrat General Assembly.  The first is the ridiculously gerrymandered Congressional map drawn by Governor O'Malley and friends with the intent of taking a Republican seat and turning it blue merely be drawing lines.  We in Western Maryland are the primary targets in this case, as the intent was to have both District 6 and District 8 decided by Montgomery County voters.  We are not ceding the new District 6 by any means, and OUR intent is to keep the seat in Republican hands, which means reelecting Roscoe Bartlett.  Plus, we believe O'Malley was too smart by half and made District 8 competitive for Republicans, and we are confident in our candidate, Ken Timmerman, to win that seat as well.  However, we are still challenging this gerrymandering via petition, so please take a minute and visit www.mdpetitions.com and sign.  The organizers of this petition drive, spearheaded by Delegate Neil Parrott of Washington County, could not have made it any easier.  We need your signature, so please do it today!

The second petition effort is to overturn the same-sex marriage bill that was recently passed by the General Assembly.  We believe on an issue of this much societal importance, the people ought to have their say.  We also believe that Marylanders will vote to preserve the one man-one woman definition of marriage when given the opportunity.  Please sign this petition as well on www.mdpetitions.com.
