    Patriot Picket

    This morning, we lost one our best friends in the 2A community when Sen. Wayne Norman (Cecil & Harford) died suddenly at home.

    It is only fitting that The Patriot Picket host a Candlelight Tribute & Vigil for the late Sen. Norman tomorrow night (Monday night)--an event that will set aside our regular Monday night partisan messaging so that we may respectfully honor a departed Patriot and our valued supporter in Annapolis.

    As usual, the Patriot Picket will take to the Bricks adjacent to Lawyer's Mall from 7pm to 8pm and we will have several signs (below) as the centerpiece of our Tribute & Vigil for the late Senator Norman. We expect to be joined by many of the legislators.

    We welcome you to make your own sign at home, but if not, it is MUCH more important that you join us because we will have signs, flags and candle-cups ready for this event that you can hold.

    If you can, bring your own full-size candle. Again, we will supply the translucent cups and stick lighters for the Tribute. We do have some extra candles to distribute to those who are coming directly from work without one.

    Please, if you only make ONE Patriot Night Out this month, make it this one. It will mean so much to the very many people at the Statehouse who revered Sen. Norman for his happy, engaging spirit.

    Our vigil will resemble a powerful moment at the NRA several years ago, when the Patriot Picket stood for the lives lost in the Orlando nightclub tragedy.

    We hope to see you there for what will be one of the most important tributes in Annapolis this year.

    So sad, and I regret never having met the Senator. Barring any clusters at work tomorrow, I will be there as well.

    Spoke to him many times. A great guy who always made time for his constituents. Gave to his campaign regularly. He will be missed. RIP Sen. Wayne Norman.

    A few of us got a head start on our tribute to our friend Senator Norman.

    It was good to hear the horn honks and see the thumbs up of support from the passers by.

    We will have candles and cups for more than 100 people on scene to make this tribute truly memorable.

    Hoping for many, many legislators on both sides of the aisle to stand together in honor of Sen. Norman.

    Calls are going out to the media, and we are coordinating with several of our friendly legislators to invite everyone to join us.

    Hope you can make it.

    I’m surprised they did not choose a Saturday with so many of his colleagues caught on the MGA treadmill on a Friday, when we can expect there is state business to attend to...
