Disappointed that little to no effort has been made by the Governor to

end Common Core & PARCC testing
Conservative Refuge Rocks!
The government that is big enough to tell you how to die, is big enough
to tell you how to live.
On these types of questions, I would prefer to pick my top 3 favorites
instead of just picking 1. I think that may give a better idea of where
people are with their preferences.
Keep up the good work!
The legal drinking age for active military should be lowered to 18 on
military installations only.
I hope we maintain vaccine choice in Maryland and nationally.
and marijuana should be legalized, too.
Carson is the only Republican who can make the Senate race
competitive here in 2016. He is still a God in the African-American
community. Bongino needs to sit 2016 out and wait for 2018 to run
against Delaney again when the electorate is more favorable. Bolton is
dead on arrival as a senate candidate and no one else would be able to
raise enough money to be competitive.
"1. No Purple Line2. At least 3 lanes to Frederick on I-270 and I-70"
I belong to the patapsco republican club,we need to bring more
conserative groups together
We have somehow got to stop fighting each other.
Maryland should have had a bigger presence at CPAC.
Who cuts Brian Griffiths hair?

You need new bumpers. The guy doing them is just really annoying.
The name of the state is not the same as the name of King Arthur's
wizard.
Will Andy Harris now step up and move to oust John Boehner? He
publicly stated he would if the Speaker caved. Well, to the surprise of
no one he has. We will see if Dr. Harris is another lying, two bit
politician or is he someone who represents his constituents and holds
true to his words. I bet it will be the former. Roger B
I've liked him for years. Finally, other people here in Maryland (and
elsewhere) are starting to notice. Go Gov Scott Walker for President!
More legislative news please
MDGOP held one of their best event at CPAC. Hope this is a taste of
what is to come in the future.
I want to see Bonito kick Van Hollen's as for senator.
The views Red Maryland has expressed on marijuana legalization are
inconsistent with a pro-business atmosphere and extremely short
sighted. We want to bring industry INTO Maryland, not keep it out. Isn't
it bad enough O'Malley drove Beretta out of Accokeek? Why should
Maryland miss out on all the new growth the marijuana industry could
provide? Think of the revenue that would be generated by being the
firs state on the east coast to legalize marijuana. Baltimore would be a
popular tourist destination. Opposition to marijuana is just
perpetuation of the status quo, which doesn't make sense when we
could be doing better.
Disappointed that little to no effort has been made by the Governor to
