Hello Lee,
First, let me thank those of you grassroots Marylanders who posted in support of Jim Jordan for House speaker. Our combined national campaign for Jim brought great attention and support to install a principled, reliable conservation to lead the House, which is so difficult to achieve with the razor-thin Republican majority in control at present.
Through our effort, however, another solid conservative finally won the speakership, Mike Johnson - and I'm sure our energy and impetus for Jordan was a significant factor to Mike's eventual success to win the House speakership. (You recall the major media ridiculing Republicans for failing to unify behind a single candidate during several nail-biting weeks which threatened to result in a compromise candidate instead). So, I consider our effort for Jim was a great victory for constitutional national leadership in a most troubling and uncertain time in our nation's history. Well done!
Maryland General Assembly (Jan-April, 2024)
In Maryland, the General Assembly is now in session, with a super-majority of delegates and senators holding to an extreme left-wing "woke" agenda. And, the Governor, holding a similar agenda, will be hard-pressed to stop bigger spending and higher taxes to promote greater political indoctrination and control of children in the public schools, along with wider government spending and regulation under the guise of climate change control and green energy (windmills, and EV's). In addition, look for more efforts to restrict lawful gun ownership in pursuit of "gun control". Happily, there is a Maryland "freedom" caucus in the Assembly that is raising a voice of commonsense and sanity in this madness. (The public safety issue seems to have some potential for unified positive action.)
As a member of the freedom caucus, Del. Matt Morgan (St. Mary's County, District 29A) is circulating a legislative survey for citizens like us to fill out to advise him and his colleagues about how to take action. Let's support him and this good effort! Completing the survey is good for several reasons. It not only guides the action of responsive delegates like Matt in the General Assembly, but also gives us citizens a chance to see what issues are serious topics of concern for this session. And this is a great opportunity to stay informed and involved.
Matt says:
Rest assured, your response will remain confidential and will only be used in an aggregated form to guide our decision-making in Annapolis. Please feel free to share this survey with your friends and family as well. I understand that life can get hectic, so I genuinely appreciate the time you take to participate. By the end of the month, I will personally email you the survey results.
Thank you for making your voice heard!

The 2024 Election Cycle
Stay calm! Emotions run high in any election season, especially now, when so much is at stake in our nation and the world. So, let's all stay calm, yet alert and engaged, so we don't get distracted and upset by the tension, turmoil, and confusion in this critical campaign season of the 2024 election cycle. While there are forces at play seeking to divide, isolate, and repress the voice of sanity and commonsense, many are yet working to bring about positive changes for a better government for all as well. Join others in this effort since there no need to "feel alone" or isolated as "we, the people" sort out the issues before us now.
In Liberty,
