WE'LL SEE YOU IN COURT!
That’s what moderates, conservatives, independants…normal folks - are saying to the State and County social movements…and with good reason.
In Maryland, the socialist Democrats passed a bill in special session to get rid of the remaining Republican representing MD in Congress, disenfranchising 40% of the voters in Maryland. Since they have the super majority, they just did it – damned the rules and procedures – and want to put it on this November’s ballot. We’re fighting that…and so far winning.
The final step is the Maryland Supreme Court – a majority of whom were appointed by Governor Larry Hogan. Two other courts have already said NO. Let’s hope for the best, for common sense and wisdom to prevail.
DO WE NEED JUDGE JUDY OR JUDGE JEANINE TO STEP IN?
Locally the STOP THE SPEND committee forwarded 14,074 petition signatures on a petition to stop reckless super-inflationary spending unless ALL the Montgomery County Councilmembers agreed. The Board of Elections only counted 9,698, and the citizens committee disputes that – they’ve found plenty of others they feel should be counted to get it over the threshold so the voters can decide in November. Again, pass it on to the judiciary.
A wise move on both counts. Sometimes judges have the wisdom of Solomon …sometimes not, but they always have the last word.
The brilliance of our system is so many branches of government checking each other. It’s also one that the National Socialist Democrats want to tear down.
Their platform has them scrapping the President, the Senate, the Supreme Court, the Department of Defense, prisons, police and private ownership….and you’ll like it! Not me, I won’t like it, and not you either.
I want a country of wealth, and freedom, and abundance, and tolerance, and safety and strength, and those who don’t can take a hike.
I know most Democrats love this country – and they’ll come out strong in the mid-term elections to rest control back from the far-left radicals.
Right now, we’re hoping both the cases prevail.
- We’re hoping some sort of sanity returns to this one-party State and County.
- We’re hoping…and working hard to break the cycle of one-party rule by running great candidates in November. Check them out HERE
Diversity of thought, diversity of viewpoint is what we need.
Next week enjoy the Labor Day holiday with friends and family and get ready for an important Autumn election. We can stop the radical socialists agenda together, and we will.
Let me know what you think about both cases. Are you surprised? Are you hopeful for a positive outcome? Are you getting a U-Haul and heading to West Virginia…hope not. I’d love to hear your opinion. Send your thoughts to [email protected]. I want to know what you think.
