In October 2023, Montgomery County Congressman Jamie Raskin, along with fellow Democrats, announced $530,000 in Department of Homeland Security grants to Montgomery County to develop violence prevention programs focused on LGBTQ+ youth. This grant money is funding a group called the Sexual Minority Youth Assistance League (SMYAL). Townhall recently reported on SMYAL’s inculcating of young minds in the District of Columbia. Now that this viper is in our midst, what can you do about it?

Memo for Our Montgomery County and Maryland Citizens, Prepared by Peter Huessy, President of Geo-Strategic Analysis of Potomac, Maryland

California Dreamin’

California added only 5,400 private-sector jobs in past 18 months

Lee Ohanian writes about California’s dismal private-sector job growth, where only 5,400 private sector jobs have been added between January 2022 and June 2024. Dragged down by corporate headquarters relocations and continued tech firm job cuts, California’s jobs picture, Ohanian writes, has its only bright spot in the public sector, which added more than 150,000 positions during the same period. He cites California’s poor record on taxation and cost of doing business as reasons for the lackluster performance.

Chevron, formerly known as Standard Oil of California and still the state's major oil producer and refiner, is marking the 145th anniversary of its founding in the state by abandoning it and moving to Houston, Texas.

Our main focus this month will be on the ballot questions we face this Fall.

There is the Montgomery County charter amendment to limit the terms of the executive but also a proposed state constitutional amendment, Question 1. HealthNotHarm.org is an organization created to educate the Maryland electorate about the dangers of the proposed Maryland Question 1 supposedly guaranteeing "reproductive freedom". The leader of that organization will be with us to explain why this constitutional amendment may be even more dangerous than you think.

Of course, we will also review ongoing activities to support our candidates and the myriad of issues that continue to slap us across the face daily.

As usual, we hope you can arrive in the 6 O’clock hour and order some food and/or drink. We will begin the formal presentations at 7pm.

Please join us on third Thursday evening, August 15th, from 6-9pm, in the private side room at: La Mexicana, 16143 Shady Grove Rd, Gaithersburg, MD 20877
