All of the farmers can refuse to sell to them. Quit frequenting any central Maryland business while there for work... pack a lunch. Establish a western maryland association and charge a toll to cross South Mountain. Choke the bastards out. Let the core rot even more and establish free zones.

Just ideas.

When you say "free zones," I think getting rid of firearm pre-emption(?) and letting the individual counties decide what works for them. I can imagine the nightmare that would be keeping up with each county's laws though.

It's a money issue. The western and eastern counties couldn't replace the lost revenue and services if they left MD

my briilent idea is for harford county to join PA but we need cecil county to do it too, so we would be contiguous.

then balto county, balto city, howard and montgomery could be liberal heaven

like I told my delegates - harford and cecil counties are not, not Baltimore sity

Hey,
I live in Balt. County and have Republican Dels. and Congressman (Harris) so I propose anything inside the beltway and south goes to the libs. I will leave it open to Gerrymandering to accomadate like minded thinkers in eastern & western Balt. Co. :rolleyes:

Hey guys.. The Eastern Shore of Maryland is in the same boat with you. Especialy the lower counties. I live in Somerset Co. and the only reason Annapolis gives a sh*t about us is Ocean City over here.I know of at least 2 times the Maryland's Eastern Shore attemted to leave Md. and become it's own state, to be called Delmarva. I believe it came very cloe by one vote.
I truely wish we could or at least be obsorbed in to Virginia and Deleware. People don't care as long as they have their reality shows and contiue to take this Country for granted. We become fat and lazy since WW2 as a Nation.

Can you cite when these two times were? I'm not trying to be a smart Alec, I'm just very interested in this as a supporter of freedom and as an inshore fisherman.

Don't forget Virginia. Western MD and the Eastern Shore could merge with VA.

Thanks!

However, they did sponsor a Maryland Senate Bill - (SB 564) - that would have provided a question to be placed on the 1998 General Election ballot. The initiative would have tested the waters for the eastern shore to become its own separate state.

I really hope that they do this referendum again. It just might pass, and if it did, I would be all over it. The only way that it wouldn't pass, is if the three left wing I95 corridor counties wanted to keep us** under their collective thumbs for the purpose of continuing to milk us** dry.

**I say "us", as I am a PG county resident by zip code only, but not only do I not feel like part of the Bowie community, but feel disenfranchised as balls, especially after how the 23A gang voted to shred the 2A.

I live in Allegany County. Cumberland to be specific. I can be in WV in two minutes from my house and PA in ten minutes. I would gladly merge with either state. If someone wants to get the ball rolling on this, I am in. We need someone with a strong legal mind to get this started on a serious level.

If you start with that attitude it will become self fulfilling prophecy.

Most revolutions don't start with Lexington and Concord.

W. md has been so shafted by gerymandering, lack of representation, and geographic isolation I think it may have a case.

Worth a shot at least. Maybe o'moron and his crew would then give you a millisecond of thought before shafting you more.

Probably say "don't let the door hit ya"

I like that you are trying to find a solution, but they are part of the political machine. I don't think that they would be willing to help or even like the idea. Keep trying though. I would like to see a serious effort made to make this happen.

Makarov Kid · Mar 31, 2013

I have an idea! How about we take all the liberals, and push them somewhere else! Like Canada! That would definitely work.

Clovis · Mar 31, 2013

I did some research on this, not much, but I think part of it is congress must agree to it and perhaps needs presidential signature. If I recall it is part of the constitution but I could be wrong. It would be nice to see this sort of thing work out.

AssMan · Mar 31, 2013

Frederick Co. has talked about secession at least 3 times in the past 10 years. Here's one article I could quickly find. I'm sure others will chime in.

You will never succeed unless you try.

My email to all the Commissioners listed.

SUBJ: Western Maryland values are no longer shared by Annapolis

Dear Commissioners:

It is clear from recent events (gas tax, gun control, etc) that the values of Western Maryland are no longer shared by those in power in Annapolis. Too long has the rural areas of our State been dominated by those in the legislature who come from Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties. They do not represent us or our way of life and only see us as a source of revenue.

As an example, I cite Chairman Vallario's blatant vote fixing during the hearing on SB281. There is no representation of the people here, only O'Malley's agenda and it is disgusting and shameful.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xge789Mo-c0&feature=youtu.be

I ask you to please consider breaking away from Annapolis to form our own state or merge with West Virginia, Virginia or Pennsylvania. I know what I suggest is extreme and fraught with many obstacles, but I firmly believe we will never be fairly and honestly treated in Annapolis so long as we remain part of the State of Maryland. It will be a long and tough road, but it is one we must travel.

It is said the journey of a 1000 miles begins with one step. I ask you to please take the first step and at least consider my words.

Thank you for your time,

BBM
