I just received the following from the Maryland Retailers Association, in their push to allow alcohol sales at grocery stores in Maryland.
They are gearing up for the 2022 legislative session. We could learn from this.
The Maryland gun community could learn from this. MSI, MSRPA, or the NRA-ILA could start reaching out NOW.
We could identify the one legislatiove proposal we want to push. One proposal that has the possibility of, if not passing, getting a committee hearing. And pushing it again next year.
I'm geting tired of just pointing out the stupidity of the various anti-gun proposals.
MSI Leadership? MSRPA leadership? NRA-ILA rep?
Talk to one another. Now.
Hello Team Maryland Alcohol Choice,
You haven’t heard from us in a while, but it’s because we’ve been busy advocating for you! We’re reaching back out to ask for your help with our fight to allow Maryland’s groceries, wholesale clubs, pharmacies and food retailers to sell alcohol in-store.
Maryland is one of only a handful of states where you are prohibited from buying a 6-pack of beer in your grocery store. We want to change that as much as you do! Over the coming weeks, we will be asking you to contact your state legislators to change the law. We introduced a bill in 2021 and we're bringing it back in 2022 with some improvements. Although the next legislative session doesn’t begin until January, we want to make sure you are prepared to combat every twisted claim you hear against our goals. Be on the lookout for some upcoming emails from us to help inform you and dispel some of the bogus myths perpetrated by the opposition. We will make it easy in each email to contact your legislator and tell them that you want beer and wine to be sold in your grocery store, you want better pricing, you want convenience, and you want better access to healthy food stores that will be able to come to more communities if they can sell alcohol to help their bottom line.
Thank you for continuing to engage on this important issue! Please share this email with your family, friends, and neighbors to ask them to sign up and get involved. You can always find us online at www.mdalcoholchoice.com.
The law in this state cannot and will not change without your voice!
