Maryland Sheriffs Answer the Call

In January of this year I sent a letter to the Maryland Sheriffs Association urging them to take a stand, as the duly elected law enforcement officers of the people of Maryland to defend and protect the citizens rights to kep and bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.   I am so pleased and honored to know that Maryland Sheriffs Association has come out in strong oposition to the Governors gun ban initiatives. A big thank you goes out to Wicomico Sheriff Mike Lewis, and all the Sheriffs who stand with him and with the More >

Special Taxing Session 2012

Isnt it frightening to hear the words “200 million in cuts to education” or hundreds of millions in cuts to services such as police departments and libraries?  It is important to note that these “cuts” are cuts in projected spending, not real belt tightening cuts to existing departmental budgets.

2011 Legislative Wrap Up

Dear Constituents:

I’d like to take a moment to wrap up the 2011 legislative session.

As you know Maryland like many other states has over spent for decades. As result, we continually run a deficit and accumulate additional debt.

I believe the budget should have been the focus of this legislative session however; the battle over same sex marriage, cross dressing legislation and illegal immigrant tuition discounts, consumed much of this year’s session.  It is my belief that these issues were in fact a smokescreen and a distraction to deflect attention away from the looming budget crisis. Unfortunately, the budget crisis was overshadowed More >

Maryland Pro Life Legislation Update

 March 15th there was 7 Pro Life bills heard in the Health and Government Operations Committee.  Click here to view http://mlis.state.md.us/2011rs/subjects/abortion.htm

The majority of the bills focused on regulating abortion clinics and to see that those clinics meet the same reporting and oversight requirements as other medical facilities.

 In November 2010, Dr. Leroy Carhart opened an abortion clinic that specializes in late term abortions in Gaithersburg Maryland.  The arrival of Dr. Carhart initiated an outcry of public resistance to the practice of late term abortions.  There is no doubt that he came to Maryland because of the states very lax laws and More >
