On some questions you should have a 3rd option instead of just YES or
NO
The mayor of Baltimore should be removed from office. She
demonstrated poor judgment during the recent riots by rendered the
Baltimore police force powerless in front of the entire nation.
Already on your list!

need property taxes lowered to below O'malley time and raised at 1.5
% rate. Not 15% that happened during O'Malley admin.
Is there election fraud in Maryland or is it a myth?
"More Support for Veterans,
Tax except for veterans in Maryand"
All I see on TV post riots is Elija Cummings, who has been in power for
3 decades talk about change. Why the hell hasn't he effectuated
change from his position? He's had more opportunity than most. And
they can't seem to get Sen. Pugh off the microphone. She obviously
plans to run again as Mayor, hey here she comes again........
I'd like to know when Governor Hogan is going to repeal Common
Core." Because it's making students really dumb when they're in
school!
It is time for a new type of Republican. Rand Paul 2016!
Stand with Rand!
"We must always embrace individual liberty and enforce the
constitutional rights of all Americans-rich and poor, immigrant and
native, black and white." -Rand Paul
Rand Paul 2016!
Say no to RINOs! Stand with Rand!
"It's time for a new way, a new set of ideas, and a new leader." -Rand
Paul
Rand Paul is a principled leader.
Maryland stands with Rand!
"Join the rEVOLution!
Ron Paul- 2008
Ron Paul- 2012
Rand Paul- 2016"
Please let Mayor Stephanie Racist Blake win the 2018 Primary, after
her fiasco and total failure leading Baltimore City properly thru race
baited riots. SRB deserves the Anthony Brown treatment....
I guess Bongino really cares about the people in the MD6th
congressional district, so much so that he's now carpetbagging his way
to Florida to run for Congress there in the district Patrick Murphy is
vacating.
Rand Paul is my first choice. Ted Cruz is my second choice.
Why wasn't Palin on the list?
"The disgusting behavior in Baltimore was allowed by the mayor. She
received her orders from the community organizer (in the district of
corruption). Freddie Gray was the ""perfect"" cover (never let a crisis
go to waste). Honestly, what mayor would allow thugs to destroy any

part of the city? One, who takes orders from the community organizer.
It is all by design, to take over local police. Is is very doubtful that
these ignorant people are the ones to blame; lack of
parenting and they are brainwashed by the broken promises of elected
officials who could care less about them, yes please remember to vote
for me, that is it! America better wake up!!!"
I support Rand Paul for president.
Freddy Gray's first two arrests were for marijuana possession. Once a
person has a criminal record, he's pretty much disqualified from most
legal employment. The police in Baltimore disproportionately arrested
black residents for marijuana possession (See The Maryland War on
Marijuana in Black and White, ACLU 2013). Do you think the animosity
towards police is related to the over-policing of poor black
communities?
Restore common sense and repeal ballistic fingerprinting.
"Most young republicans support legalization. Maryland needs to
legalize weed for jobs and liberty. If you're against big government,
you'll oppose marijuana prohibition.
http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/02/27/63-of-republicanmillennials-favor-marijuana-legalization/"
Censure Rawlings-Blake for having the police stand down during
protests to give the angry ones space to destroy.
Greg's piece on the Baltimore police indictments was wonderful and
necessary. Thank you for an actual cogent piece of analysis, rather
than a knee-jerk reaction.
Gov Hogan and the Republican Party are misleading the voters and
most of all the taxpayers on the so-called Repeal of the EPA
Stormwater Mandate. Instead of fighting this federal usurpation of
power (21 States are suing the EPA and the Chesapeake Bay
Foundation) on the Chesapeake Watershed Plan of which the
stormwater is the source of revenue for nearly $100 Billion in project
for an unfunded mandate. Yet organization like yours and the
Republican Party System continues to propagandize on this issue.
Disgraceful - do some investigation on Executive Order 13508 and the
Stormwater Mandates.
If you bring the Donald to the RWB dinner we will not attend! What a
pompous, egocentric greedmonger. Guys like him give our party the
stereotype of avaricious mercenary merchants. Bad bad idea.
I stand with Rand, do you?

Larry Hogan for President! Brian Griffiths for US Senate! Greg Kline for
Attorney General!
Governor Hogan is doing a great job, I was hoping that maybe he could
have found a position for Charles Lollar. Looking forward to your
podcast. Thanks
Governor Hogan showed great leadership in the wake of the riots in
Baltimore. There would have been much more damage if he had not
acted so quickly and personally been so present in Baltimore.
Regarding starting public schools after Labor Day, I support allowing
local school boards to set individual calendars.
Gov, Hogan is a true leader !!!
Would like to be able to vote 1st, 2nd, 3rd choice for President. Add in a
question for Vice President.
hi
MGTOW
Rand Paul is a principled Conservative.
I would like to see a study of ridership safety on Baltimore mass transit
to include bus, light rail and subway.
We need to work hard to get the Maryland legislature out of the hands
of the Democrats so something can actually be accomplished without
the fights that are required now.
No viable candidates listed for U.S. Senate nomination. I did hear Alex
Mooney is considering moving back to MD to run. Puleasse get serious
on giving some real choices on this race. Szeliga? C'mon mane!!!!!
Disappointed that the GOP did nothing about Common Core and the
Maryland Health Benefits Exchange in the just ended Maryland General
Assembly
Great job, Governor Hogan! Also, special thanks to Diana Waterman for
her hard work!
The Republicans on the National Level need to do what is right not
what will keep them in office. Our Constitution is being violated daily
and the Senate Republicans seem to give the President anything he
wants. They are very similar to the Senators from the Roman Empire in
how they act. To them it is about having power not acting on principles.
