I should have known I made a mistake moving here a few years ago.

Your body can only take so much stress before it starts to break down. I'm betting he has been under a tremendous amount of pressure. More than most of us could handle. Give the man a break.

I second that, we had the same bug last week. No fun.

I agree, we are better organized than ever before so 2014 will be our time to shine. I'm sending money to MSI to help tonight. Somebody by Del. Mike a beer.

 

[ChannelCat]

Please let the shore secede. And take the bay bridge out

...Now that wouldn't be nice....

...I'll have to drive up and across the Sesquehenna Flats when I move over there after the secession...

 

[opticman]

Can someone post a clip or audio of Del. Mike's final comments before they voted?

 

[BenL]

Did people at least boo?

Literally, nothing we did made any difference at all.

Well you can stop by my place for a beer on your way!

Smigiel is not talking about revolution... it's about replacing the SYSTEM we have. More a Constitutional Convention.

Pretty sure....

Missed it, it was in 2010, voted down by voters. It's only held every 20 years.

Did people at least boo?

I didn't hear any. I wouldn't have been able to contain myself, but it sounds like those who did go from our side have more restraint.

 

[ChannelCat]

Did people at least boo?

The patriots were too polite. I would have been mooning them and throwing down rotten tomatoes....

....and i would no be a political prisoner

 

[Biddy]

Yeah where the F is Patrick? If he is still sick can we at least get someone to type comments for him? wtf? i want to know what they think (MSI)

 

[Knuckle66]

Yes you did

does anyone have the audio to that?

 

[bigjoegood1]

Where can I find the list of who voted how on sb281?

Pretty sure....

what can a constitutional convention do for us?

 

[rcpd34]

Referendum.

 

[Biddy]

i want to see the amended version of SB281 now ASAP!!! Please someone get a hold of AGC or MSI and lets see what we are up against for the final version mom will sign. i would be willing to donate up to $1K to a legal fund for the lawsuit against this unconstitutional bill.
MDS ADMIn can we get a sticky for people who want a lawsuit after bill becomes law and start building a court case and get a lawyer?

 

[Mr H]

Smigiel was quoting the MD Constitution, Declaration of Rights, Article 6...

That all persons invested with the Legislative or Executive powers of Government are the Trustees of the Public, and, as such, accountable for their conduct: Wherefore, whenever the ends of Government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the People may, and of right ought, to reform the old, or establish a new Government; the doctrine of non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

(emphasis mine)

Funny thing... I plucked that from a quick search, and the first thing that came up was this in a post by our own Glaug-Eldare!!

 

[BenL]

I am contacting the Second Amendment Foundation tomorrow. Perhaps if they get thousands of people contacting them, they will act on this ridiculous piece of legislation.

 

[Bradw410]

PLEASE!
Half the shore is from PA and NJ these days.
Didn't work when Fred & Co talked about it a LONG time ago, and won't work now.

Even better is all the "Shore folk" spouting this who were born elsewhere.

Lol yeah I hear ya. I was born and raised here

 

[2AHokie]

Yeah where the F is Patrick? If he is still sick can we at least get someone to type comments for him? wtf? i want to know what they think (MSI)

Seriously?

He worked hard for us all session (along with many executive members of MSI and members from several other groups). All of them deserve thanks and appreciation.
