are there any conservative districts left after the redistricting? I know where I am went from 90+% American to 90+% socialist when we were stripped of our voting rights.

Does anyone know if the requirement for liability insurance for gun owners is included in SB281 or is this a separate bill?

So a quick scan of channels 4,5,7,9 all got me mentions of Chandra Levy, the Monopoly piece story, and other world shaking things, but not one mention of hundreds if not thousands of people descending on the capital of MD to express how they feel on a Constitutional issue.

You have to wonder, were the people too well behaved? Would a similar number of Casa De Maryland folks screaming for a new benefit have been ignored?

You can bet they were there, combing the crowd, just looking for GURPS wearing a swastika or bcp with his white power shirt. Trying to find anything to show just how racist the crowd was.

When they didn't find the story they wanted to tell, they decided not to tell the real story.

Public testimony has not started. One more panel and then 75 people or then, maybe me. Over 500 signed up to testify. I am actually in the hearing room. Major accomplishment of the day! Lol

According to an article I read, the hearing is scheduled to last 8 hours.
