Remember when Memorial Day was a day to decorate the graves of the brave souls who fell in service to their country?  It was a day for patriotic parades and lessons about how freedom is worth protecting -- and what the price of that protection was.

A little reading before the rally in Wash DC 11am John Marshall Park 501 PA ave, NW (next to Canada Embassy). Tabling beginning at 9am continuing after 12pm. March to Justice Dept 12 noon.

I first heard Repub talking points against transferring GuantanamoJTF camp x-ray terror suspects to USA prisons in a May 9, 2009 weekly radio response to one of Pres Obama's weekly radio addresses. c-span.org does archive weekly Pres addresses and opposing party responses.  Can also watch at youtube.com/watch?v=pqtDIEH_Jpo .

Anyone interested in forming am impeachment committee for Maryland District 1 (Wayne Gilchrist's district)?

    Thanks

Maryland faces two choices this session. Purchasing new touch screens with printers added, or purchasing optical scan machines to count voter filled out paper ballots.
The touch screen (at 5 to 8 times the cost) machines
produce continuous rolls of thermally-printed paper. They are difficult to
load, difficult to handle after they are removed from the machines and
extremely difficult to read and tally. They bear almost no relationship to
the ordinary individual paper ballots of the past.

All of us need to understand this distinction, because there's a strong
likelihood that the State Administrator of Elections (probably supported by

Governor Bob Ehrlich has been mainly an obstructionist Governor. The only real progress in the State of Maryland has been push through by the Democratic Legislature. In the O'Malley versus Ehrlich debates, Ehrlich could point to no accompolishments he initiated as Governor. Ehrlich focused on attacking Baltimore MD as if it was a part of another country. You would have thought he was running for the position of Mayor of Baltimore. His whole negative line of attack on the people living in Baltimore was disgusting. He may have thought that he was hurting O'Malley but he was only hurt himself by
