Single Party Government with no diversity of thought leads to the majority ignoring the wishes of the voters.

The all-Democrat Montgomery County Council learned a few years ago how to obfuscate the wishes of the voters and halt any changes in our County Constitution, the Charter.  When the voters, no matter how many thousand voters, petition the county to have a referendum to revise rules they don't like - the Democrat politicians add their own referendum - meant to stop any change. It confuses the heck out of most of the voters and end's up scuttling change for the better.

They're doing it again with the Two Term Amendment limiting the County Executive to an 8 year reign - just like the President and the Governor. But wait, there's more. Remember the popular amendment to require the whole Council to vote to raise your taxes? Too much they say, and they want to reduce the threshold to a majority...and they can do it.

No matter how many thousands of County voters want a change the Single Party Government can compete against them and win. Unfair you say? Let the people decide you say? Well, that's OK with them if the people decide the way they want them to vote.

Watch this video and tell me if you want to encourage more taxes, more lifetime politicians, and more ignoring of the voters' intent. And tell me what you think. It's OK, we're Republicans. We actually listen.

We tease the Democrats, 'cause we love 'em!

Great turnout at the MCGOP Booth during the Fourth of July. Plenty of volunteers and visitors. Thanks to all our great workers, neighbors and friends.

Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich seems to be in a little hot water. He thinks that referendum on term limits for his position will be on the ballot in November, and he expects to bear the brunt of the voters’ unhappiness. So, he has asked the Montgomery County Democratic Central Committee (MCDCC) for help. It makes perfect sense for him to call on his fellow politicians – after all, they have so much in common. Last October, Moderately MoCo reported that Somerset Mayor Jeffrey Slavin criticized the MCDCC for incompetence and financial mismanagement. As the saying goes, “Birds of a feather flock together.”

This week concentrates on issues of energy and climate particularly because Green parties in Europe in EU parliament races took a shellacking because of their loopy energy proposals.

Donald Trump's Dominance in CNN Debate

The recent debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden was nothing short of a political spectacle, underscoring the stark contrast between the two candidates. While Trump's performance was lauded for its strength and clarity, Biden's appearance raised significant concerns about his fitness for office. 

On Monday, June 24, Governor Hogan was joined by more than 500 members of Maryland’s Asian community in Montgomery County as part of his Asians for Hogan coalition.  

Gov. Hogan: “This great community means so much to me and to our entire family, and we are so fortunate to have their support as we work to bring bipartisanship and common sense to Washington. 

I want to especially thank my wife and my better half, Yumi—the chair of Asians for Hogan. I am so proud of her and all that she has accomplished on behalf of our state’s Asian community.”
