The effort could snatch a victory from Gov. Martin O'Malley, who is being lauded by his party nationally for creating a map that gives Democrats a good chance of picking up a Congressional seat this fall. And it could give the state's minority Republican party new standing in Annapolis, showing that they can threaten "inside baseball" laws in addition to headline grabbing ones like in-state tuition for some illegal immigrants and same-sex marriage.
Congressional map opponents turn in 36K signatures
Do your part to stop Owe'Malley's march to POTUS and giving Congress yet another socialist vote a la the PRofMD.
SIGN the petition !!!
Is it not too late? I thought it was due Saturday. I was planing on going out to sign sat morning, but got a lil caught up working around the house...
I work in Annapolis so it would be easy to stop and do it on my way outta town if I knew where to go.
Even if the state Board of Elections certifies the results, the Democratic party would probably challenge the state board's ruling in court and could get additional signatures tossed.
And should the GOP prevail and defeat the Congressional map, it is not clear that they'd pick up a member of Congress. Democratic leaders in the state would likely re-create a map that gives their party a fighting chance for a 7-1 split in the Congressional delegation.
Democratic leaders would, however, probably feel pressure to unscramble the jumbled lines in the state's left leaning areas of the state.
And, should the Democrats feel genuinely threatened by the new-found GOP power of referendum, they can always change the law and increase the number of signatures needed to trigger a state-wide vote.
I love how there was this HUGE push against the same sex marriage act, yet something that directly impacts one's self, is basically a meh...
Citizen: What have you given us Mr. Franklin?
Franklin: A Republic madam, if you can keep it.
Printed and will stamp tonight, mail tomorrow.
Perception is everything ...
It did get enough signatures to make the cutoff for referendum.
The great unwashed in the PRofMD saw it as a 'fait accompli' ... a done deal, just like they've thought so on so many issues in a our one-party state, however ...
When Neil Parrot drove home the illegal tuition referendum, people stood up and took notice. Then came the gay marriage referendum and then the redstricting referedum. Maybe it didn't hit home with the sheeple, but now that it is up for a vote, we need to drive it home just as much as the others.
