No. You were sold out over the last 20 years when these yahoos were voted into office.
You did vote against them all, right?
Now that the Left has a lock on all legislation, with the governor unable to sustain a veto, what's your plan to get favorable politicians into office?
Is it better to let the few remaining Republican seats go to the Dems? How helpful is that?
Anyone looking for Ideological Purity in politics is naive, deluded, or just not watching. Unless, of course, they ignored politics long enough to let the state go totally Left. So the ideologues are already in charge, with a total lock on the legislature.
Its up above you by some posts

It's just people being people. From a politicians point of view, what did they have to gain by fighting for a lost cause? Ostracizing peer pressure maybe?
It's called primarying the turncoats. Replace them with a better GOP candidate. Or perhaps you'd like to continue your current plan of sending the Republicans nasty emails for selling you out, then forgiving them at the ballot box.
For the life of me what I can't understand is how you guys think a Republican voting to take away your rights is somehow better than a Democrat doing it.
I’ve had members here (that I know leave their houses for gun shows) tell me that Patriot Picket activity QUALIFIES AS AN ANARCHIST DEMONSTRATION THAT INVALIDATES THEIR PENSION!
What do we do, and where do we go if that’s how it is?

Thanks
That was hard to read.
And Kipke? wow
Maybe the R's signed on because of the current climate knowing that Hogan would veto so they would get to tell people they tried and tell us nothing passed on their watch.

I’m reading these comments to my wife, former Delegate Carmen Amedori and she stated it was the gun community that taught her if you give a finger they’ll take an arm. She’s disappointed in those who fail to remember that rule. Her strong belief in the 2 A and not budging is why she was point on firearm issues in the legislature and is wondering why the rule is no longer being followed.

I made sure they knew I'd hang around long enough to voice my desire to put them out of a job.

Why should we Free BSD?
As much as I wanted to attend, my work schedule prohibited me from doing so and I am not able to request leave if the schedule has already been posted. I also couldn't exactly call in sick and then appear in the media in some form, either.

Depending on their employer and the code of conduct they are required to abide by, that may be true. It would be one thing if they were working in retail or some other job, but if they are working in the private sector and their employer holds government contracts, they have to keep their noses clean for the company. If somebody is an employee of the government and they are required to stay away from those kinds of events to ensure continued employment, then they are doing the smart thing to play within the confines of the box they willingly place themselves in.
The problem that I do see is, who states that it is an anarchist demonstration? The person that is saying that to you, or is it their employer or, LE that classified it as such. That is what you need to take into account with their statement.

FACT: The Patriot Picket engages in absolutely legal political advocacy on behalf of legal, qualified candidates and the Constitution.
There is no “controlling legal authority” that grants us permission to do what we do. Our permission is enshrined in the Constitution.
There is simply no debate about that and any suggestion otherwise is not informed.
We act within the four corners of our Founding Documents. It is as straightforward as it gets.
The Hatch Act notwithstanding, we, and all Americans, have implicit rights to do what we do.

I am not saying that PP is not above board, so allow me to make that clear up front.
My view is coming from working as a government employee and contracting to the government, and I know what the code of conduct for employees can be and how draconian they are. I am neither defending those people you are speaking of, nor am I condemning them. All I was trying to do was shed some light on why it is possible that they are constrained by their employer.
Given that my current employer has no issues with me participating in PP events, I would attend if I was able to, if scheduling allowed. The flip side of that coin is that it is my management team that has the ability to crucify me for exercising my rights, depending on how vindictive they want to be. Yes, they can be vindictive over a non-issue. If management caused a stink, could appeal the issue to HR and HR would back me, because it wasn't on company time and I violated no laws. But my situation is different than others, obviously. I am also not constrained by the Hatch Act, either.
If a PP event occurs and I am able to attend, you of all people should know that I will do my best to be there.

You should, I'm sure Rack gets tired of seeing my ugly mug from time to time.

dont be a dumbass
I dont know why people think politicians are our friends. We have a constitution precisely because they arent and never were. Vote on taxes, spending, crime. Not on constututional rights. The only thing politicians can do is appoint justices who will ensure that the constitution is followed.

Since I became a Maryland resident, my policy has been to vote against the incumbents. That isn't changing now. I'll probably move out before making any progress, though, if history is any guide.
