O’Malley and Franchot Transition team member refuses to say pledge of Allegiance.
November 21st, 2006
In a post published earlier this afternoon at 4:01 PM, titled “Allegiance to the USA uncertain for naturalized citizen Gustavo Torres,” “The New MoCo Progressive” has called to our attention that a member of Governor-elect Martin O’Malley’s (and Comptroller-elect Peter Franchot’s?) transition team refuses to say the “Pledge of Allegiance to the United States?
For a list of the transition team members for Gov.-elect O’Malley click here.
The New MoCo Progressive wrote, “Every immigrant-citizen who I've known (and there are plenty) is proud to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
But at the Gaithersburg City Council meeting last night, one citizen refused to recite the Pledge. Casa De Maryland Executive Director Gustavo Torres, an immigrant from Colombia, stood in defiance while substantially everyone else present recited the Pledge of Allegiance.”

The New MoCo Progressive ended with a question: “Is this the face that Casa De Maryland really wants to put forth?”
Okay, that’s a valid question, but isn’t the more important question: is this the face that Governor-elect Martin O’Malley and Comptroller-elect Peter Franchot want to put forth? Am I missing something? Can this possibly be correct?
I’m just asking.
