This email will be sent to the Senate leadership as well as to the members of the Senate committees on Budget and Taxation as well as Education, Environment, Education and Health Affairs, which is responsible for election issues. Governor O'Malley will receive a copy too.
There will still be a lobby night this upcoming Monday, March 16. We will meet in the Senate Building, 11 Bladen St, at 5:30 in the rotunda (turn right and walk up the ramp after passing through the metal detector). There you will be organized into teams and given legislators to talk to along with talking points and other materials.
In preparation for the lobby night please visit: http://mdelect.net/ and get the list of your Delegates and Senator. Please send that information to Stan Boyd, sbb223 [@] yahoo [dot] com and let him know you are coming so we can organize the lobby night.
In the meantime, please take action now so the Senate leadership hears from voters before this weekend. |
