Even though it wouldn't have made a difference, I wish she would have been in Annapolis. We need more vocal citizens like her that make "common sense gun laws".

There were people like that testified. Their voices just fell on deaf ears. Time to remove those ears.

Anyway...I had to facebook that puppy!

I remember someone saying they got 1400 emails against the gun grab in MD and 5 for it. They still voted for gun grabbing. It’s pretty obvious that they don’t care what the practicalities or numbers are in this debate.

They voted the way they were told to vote. Everything else was just theater.

This lady is straight up! This career politicians don't care, they have no scrupulous anymore. Just and ego power money driven agenda, it's unfortunate, but if we don't take a stand against this career politicians and their drones our unborn ones will suffer the consequences.

The other two videos in that article were interesting...i guess not knowing where they were in the 'process', it really did seem like people werent given a chance to speak up. Kinda like MD on Feb 6th...

Not exactly the way a Constitutional Republic form of "government of the people, by the people, and for the people" described so well by President Lincoln at Gettysburg and implied by the Constitution is supposed to work, is it?

The back room deals between these so-called "representatives" vote in a way that directly impacts an enumerated right under the Constitution actually circumvents the consent of the governed given to their elected representatives to the General Assembly.

Some may say, "But that's how the political system works."

Call me naive and I realize I'm likely preaching to the choir here but that is not at all how our state and federal system of government was designed to work and actually corrupts the idea of a representative form of government established under the Constitution of the State Maryland and these United States! Yes, there may be instances where representatives, armed (pardon the pun) with more information available than the people in general, need to consider the big picture on an issue, but this isn't one of them. In this case, the desires of “the people” were articulated loud and clear and they were ignored. In such cases, a representative’s voting instructions must come from their constituents, who in turn have a civic duty to remove their consent and throw out of office any "representative", irrespective of party affiliation, that "the people" determine no longer represents them. I sincerely hope "the people" finally wake up in 2014!
