VOTE AS YOU'RE TOLD

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.
