Any rally must be hyper dignified. No crowing.. think changing of the guard..the point can be made. But it must be hyper dignified..

If you can't do it that way... don't go.
I plan to attend the opening session.. but hyper diginifed.
Sounds far more like a funeral than a celebration to me.
I'd envision something more like a raucous marching band, with lots of brass (to cymbalise the chutzpah of the state Democratic Overlords) and O'Malley's photo on the big bass drum. Whack it hard.
But let's not crow. We wouldn't want to annoy anyone in power.
So merely wear black, and carry a coffin filled with O'Malley's presidential aspirations.
Nothing will infuriate the oposition more than showing the class they will never have.
If we do this its the kick off of Hogan reelection campaign. Hogan's hero's not Hogan holigauans
Celebrate in private. As as funeral goes.. yes let us be pall bearers at for moms politcal career.. let us set the task of erasing his legacy.
And know as well what the press will see..citizen s men and women adults going about the honorable task of putting wrong right. Just as no joy is taken at putting out the trash so should we to this task.
Now again to be joyful is to empower them.. they will know they pissed us off...
No they made us work...the task needed doing... but they are not worth the effort of celebration.. and we are thier to haul way the body... and erase the legacy...to put out the trash.. nothing more.
Celabrate in private.. I will send a much more powerful message if we show up with resolve.
Crowing does not annoy anyone in power it just makes you look small and petty.. like mom himself..
This is how I see it.
You can do other wise of course ...
Celebrate! The end of an error. A new era begins.

I tend to disagree. I'm not suggesting a celebration with fireworks and a raucous Mariachi band marching through downtown Annapolis, but I do think it'd be a great idea to show up on January 20th in Lawyer's Mall for a rally to show that we're still here and we're still energized.
A big part of the upsets this year in this state was the general apathy of the electorate. That means that those who care wield a lot more power than they might otherwise despite relatively modest numbers. I think that a show of force on the day when O'Malley is packing his bags along with a number of previously "undefeatable" gun grabbers sends a powerful message to those who remain that our voices actually do matter and that they'd better start listening to us.
Governor-elect Hogan can only do but so much to help us. We also have to help ourselves by putting every bit of pressure that we can on the GA. We need to show up early and show up often so the legislators of this state get the message that continuing to attack our 2nd Amendment rights puts their political careers at risk. They need to see that we are relentless and unwavering.
Code:
I'm in state government and projects are getting dropped left and right. The higher-ups are going to lose their appointments and I guess no one wants to put effort into something with a hard deadline of 3 months.
That is the same as I was told last night by a MD dept of the environment employee. The appointees are very worried.
If we were to show up the day he leaves, the press would just say that thousands showed up to wish him well.
That is some twisted slanted reporting right there
That is some twisted slanted reporting right there but you're probably right. It would end up in one of MOM's presidential campaign ads.
Big signs that say "AMF!"
The Sun photog and editors would think it is a positive message with the exclamation point, but the common peasants would know what it means.
