Yikes McGee Show

Maryland's own Democratic protest singer, Yikes McGee has spent the last 5 years writing anti-Bush, anti-rightwing, political protest songs, and performing them in D.C, at rallies and demonstrations, and building a national radio audience. A standing-room-only January show at Mad City was a great success and lots of fun.  Join Yikes as he begins to finally close the door on the long Bush years.

Westminster Women in Black Peace Stand

This is a bi-weekly peace stand that is sponsored by the Westminster Women in Black.

This stand has been going on for six (6) long years and the participants are against the war in Iraq and any future wars being started by the current adminostration.

 

During the protest, we must adhere to specific City of Westminster cods for demonstration.

  • We must stand at least 10 feet apart
  • We must stand as close to the curb as possible to avoid blocking pedestrian traffic.
  • We may not block any crosswalks

However we are able to hand out materials to people that wish to receive such documentation, but we may not enter the roadway to give the material to motor vehicle operators.

All of us need to understand this distinction, because there's a strong

Is Bob Ehrlich running to be mayor of Baltimore?

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.
