The MoCo Democrats have long acted as though they have the solution to all our problems. If we would only listen to them, we would have heaven on earth. For the most part, it’s all about taxing us and then spending our money to support their far-left ideas. But now they are fighting among themselves. The Attainable Housing Strategies Initiative is essentially the  Planning Board and Council’s attempt to put MoCo into compliance with the United Nation’s 15-Minute City concept. Recently Council President Andrew Friedson got an earful from the mostly Democrat constituents during the Attainable Housing listening sessions. Fighting for his political life after decades of failed policies, County Executive Marc Elrich has come out against the initiative.

You can make your voice heard. Vote For Question A, to hold Elrich to two terms. While we have their attention, email the Planning, Housing and Parks Committee to register your opposition to the initiative (see below) and sign the petition. (Note that a financial contribution is NOT required - you can X out of the solicitation, and your signature will still be recognized.)

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

There are three big issues here. First, Berkeley wakes up and decides that the homeless are a serious problem. Second, the head of the Heritage Foundation lays out why the energy/climate crisis is going to cause widespread energy poverty and serious economic hardship if continued. And third, the House Budget Committee has passed and sent to the House a number of balanced budget plans as well as getting approved by Congress and "help[ed] lead the debt ceiling negotiations, which yielded the biggest discretionary spending cuts in 10 years.”

Berkeley Gets Mugged by Reality

We have talked about how much we hate the proliferation of mail-in ballots and how we fear that this expanding use invites fraud.  But perhaps we need to take the next step and examine how exactly this opportunity for fraud exists and why our own use of a mail-in ballot does not increase the risk of fraud but in fact might reduce that risk.

Last week we were distributing flyers when we happened upon a young man. When we asked if he voted in Montgomery County, he said, “I don’t vote at all.”  He looked like he preferred to be left alone so we moved along. But we thought it would be useful to remind you of some very close elections. Your vote really does matter.
