Well the 427 Maryland General Assembly has begun with our foes working hard against us.
The General Assembly is made up of 47 Senators and 141 Delegates elected from the 47 districts in Maryland. The Maryland General Assembly meets in Annapolis each year for 90 days to act on an average of more than 2300 bills… most (if not all!) of these bills have a direct impact on your life.
Now is the time to become proactive in the decision making that will control your way of life. Do not put it off until later. Stopping a bad law from getting through the Maryland General Assembly is easy compared to getting a bad law rescinded or changed.
A few years ago I started the “The Political Activist Tool: MS Word Mail Merge Thread “ ( http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=4278 ). Please refer to that thread for (very) basic information for creating functional mass mailings using your computer and MSWord. This is the same tool that our political enemies use to spread their words of “truth”. We can now use the same tool to counter their misrepresentations of facts and statistics.
This thread should be the home of mail list data bases, sample letters to be copied and pasted into your own mass mailings, and any other useful tools that can be shared in an effort to keep the pressure ON our elected representatives. This tool is also useful for getting the word out to the Press. I will also work on tools for Letters to the Editor.
The squeaky wheel does get the grease… start squeaking!
See the following post from the past couple of years to help describe these tools and how to apply them.

The 2011 MD Senate and House mail addresses are attached in an Excel form that can be imported into MSWord and others to form mass mailings with minimal work.
