Who is "Marylanders to Prevent Gun Violence"

[ezliving]

I'm guessing that if I had all the money that "Marylanders to Prevent Gun Violence" has paid to Rifkin, Livingston, Levitan & Silver, LLC, 225 Duke of Gloucester Street Annapolis, MD 21401, I could burn mine.

This campaign cost a lot of money, to get 5 lobbyists (ERIC L BRYANT, JOEL D ROZNER, JOSH WHITE, RICK ABBRUZZESE, MICHAEL V JOHANSEN) on the payroll at Rifkin, probably the most expensive lobbying firm in Annapolis, plus the services of Vincent DeMarco ( http://healthcareforall.com/about/meet-our-staff/#Vinny) at Maryland Citizens Health Initative Education Fund, Inc. 2600 St. Paul Street Baltimore, MD 21218.

Or, is all the money for "Marylanders to Prevent Gun Violence" actually coming through Maryland Citizens Health Initative Education Fund???

The address for "Marylanders to Prevent Gun Violence" is also 2600 St. Paul Street Baltimore, MD 21218.

Who can follow the money?

If I was a betting man (and I am), I would say this money has Obama's "Organizing For America" fingerprints all over it.

There is certainly Bloomberg's fingerprints on Vincent DeMarco, Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. ( http://healthcareforall.com/about/meet-our-staff/#Vinny) Bloomberg certainly has enough money to buy gun control in Maryland. No doubt, Maryland would cost him less than New York.

Anyone find it Ironic that the first guy on their board of directors is Jewish?

Looks like I gonna have to file a formal complaint with the conference...

My former minister was very pro-gun.

The word is not odd. But their read of history is selective. Of course the rest of the board is likely black and Hispanic with a few professional liberals.

This is a Fight for another day.

A Jewish organization presented anti testimony on February 6th.

I don't get the Jews or blacks or any formerly oppressed minority group not going out of their collective minds over gun control but what do I know, I'm a WASP? It could be something in that Dem kool aide that does it to them.

They know where to send the buses and offer crack money

They just use the call all button to activate all their free phones

 

[possumman]

Vinnie deMarco has never held a real job -just anti jobs- anti smoking anti-gun etc .

 

[aireyc]

Hahaha at the use of the term "Honorable" before some of those names.

 

[ezliving]

An after thought....

There is thinking, already, of taking this to a referendum.

Start thinking about raising phat cash, and I mean $million$.

Neither Obama nor Bloomberg will let the voters take away their victory.

Brother, can you spare $10 million. You think the casino campaign was rich? A gun referendum will set records for spending.
