Call these 20 Democrats every day

State Central Committee members and State Party officers:

Last night, we rolled out an expanded list of “20 Democrats” to call regarding the tax increase. It is attached and is also on the MDGOP Web page (www.mdgop.org).

Senate Republicans have indicated that our phone calls to Democrat Senators are helping. One Democrat Senator asked a member of our Caucus to call off the endless phone calls to his office. The NAACP has come out in opposition to the sales tax increase and is lobbying Democrats to oppose it. The hearing is today. We have now added several Democrats from Baltimore City and Prince George’s County to our phone list so we can add to the pressure that the NAACP is already placing on these members.

Thanks for all the phone calls. Senator Brochin has committed to vote with the Republican Caucus, and we just need four more. Several are on the fence. Keep it up! The phone calls take less than a minute each. People can split the calls up and do 10 in the morning and 10 in the afternoon if they have a busy schedule. That’s just ten minutes in the morning and ten minutes in the afternoon. Thanks!

John

During this Special “Tax Hike” Session, your legislators need to hear from you. They need to know how O’Malley’s massive tax hike is going to impact your family. Be sure to call your delegates and senator.

All 14 Republican Senators have committed themselves to oppose the O’Malley tax hike, but they need 5 Democrat Senators to join them to stop the tax hike.

Please call the following 20 Democrats and tell them you oppose all of these tax increases. Let them know Maryland government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. If Maryland families need to work within their means, so should the state government. Republican legislators have put forth a budget alternative that will balance the budget by slowing the growth of state spending – all without a tax increase.

Keep calling these 20 Democrats each day! Don’t let up! Make it part of your daily routine!
