Feeling Hot Hot Hot
By Dennis Brent Melby
Yes, we’re feeling Hot, Hot, Hot!
But August is almost over.
September and October are our important months…the November election is SO IMPORTANT. Even if folks didn’t vote two years ago they need to vote in the mid-terms. The chance that far-left candidates from the so-called "Democrat Socialists" will be elected is very real and very bad for our democracy.
Raise taxes, foment hatred and violence, impeach, impeach, impeach…perhaps even property confiscation and open borders – nothing’s impossible. You’ve seen it so many places, especially if you’re an immigrant.
As the Republican local party, we advocate voting by any means possible. Even though we want the SAVE Act and one day voting by legal citizens with ID, it doesn’t look like that will happen in time, and we NEED to compete. And we will.
Encourage folks to sign up to vote by mail if there's ANY chance they won't be able to vote in person. (Yes, they might get multiple ballots from Maryland again…we’ll deal with that like we did in the Primary.) Republicans like to vote in person on election day- I get it, I understand that…but we need to play the hand we’re dealt here in one-party Maryland and compete on their own turf. I know we can do it.

Message from Nicolee Ambrose
Hello Marylanders,
I wanted to share some key updates on Democrats efforts to silence any Republican voice in Maryland via mid-decade congressional redistricting, and the fight against it.
The Washington Examiner just published my op-ed about Maryland's aggressive partisan gerrymandering. Click here to read it or see the full op-ed below.
