Wargotz Files for U.S. Senate and Explains Path to Victory

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 25, 2010

Wargotz Files for U.S. Senate and Explains Path to Victory

Annapolis, MD (March 25, 2010) – Queen Anne's County Commissioner Eric Wargotz, M.D. made it official Friday when he filed the papers to officially run for the U.S. Senate. Dr. Wargotz has been traveling around the state since last July meeting with voters, discussing issues and taking the State's temperature. "Voters are not just hot around the collar," Wargotz said about the voter sentiment, "they are steamed about the direction Congress is taking our country."

Wargotz filed at the State Board of Elections in Annapolis and then met with legislators and reporters at the State House in Annapolis, followed by radio interviews from Ocean City to Frederick, finishing the day with bloggers and social networking activists.

During the day, Commissioner Wargotz discussed the issues which make up the four cornerstones of his campaign: Fiscal Responsibility and the Economy, Health Care, National Security and the Chesapeake Bay.

Perhaps most importantly, he laid out his path to victory saying, "it is clear that more and more citizens of Maryland want their Senate seat back. For too long, our current Senator has voted lock-step with Senator Harry Reid of Nevada. The Constitution does not give Nevada three Senate seats and Maryland one. In addition, the latest Rasmussen poll has Barbara Mikulski dropping 12 percentage points since her vote for socialized Health Care. A majority of Marylanders are now realizing that, after 30 years in Congress, Barbara Mikulski does not represent the best interests of Maryland."

"Voters are angry and want new representation," Wargtoz said. "Voters want the private sector to create jobs, not the government; voters want health care reform, not a government takeover; voters want a cleaner Chesapeake Bay, not 30 years of lip service; voters want strong national security, not taxpayer funded defense attorneys for captured terrorists," Wargotz continued.

With the health care debate and the national economy focusing attention on federal issues, in addition to our close proximity to Washington, the campaign believes Maryland will have record voter turnout. "If voters turnout as they do in Presidential elections, we win," he said confidently.

Wargotz is the leading challenger opposing Barbara Mikulski. The Wargotz Campaign is led by a veteran Maryland team of advisors and staff as well as a statewide volunteer organization. As of the latest Federal Election Commission reporting deadline, Wargotz held a commanding lead in fundraising among Republican challengers.

Eric Wargotz, M.D., his wife Cheryl-Ann and their three children live in Queen Anne's County. Dr. Wargotz is the elected President of the Queen Anne's County Board of County Commissioners (2006) and practices medicine in Prince George's County.

MRC Alert: Nets Not So Excited About Violence and Threats Aimed at ObamaCare Opponents

MRC Alert: Nets Not So Excited About Violence and Threats Aimed at ObamaCare Opponents

Tracking Liberal Media Bias Since 1996
Friday March 26, 2010 @ 10:47 AM EDT

1. Nets Not So Excited About Violence and Threats Aimed at ObamaCare Opponents
An evening after all three broadcast network newscasts led by advancing the Democratic narrative of violent ObamaCare critics, a storyline intended to discredit conservatives as all gratuitously named Sarah Palin as a culprit, on Thursday night the same programs weren't so interested and only stumbled into the suddenly “bipartisan” victims – despite fresh revelations of threats and violence aimed at Republicans who voted no. “It's getting ugly as anger over health care reform erupts into some over-the-top rhetoric,” Brian Williams announced at the top of Wednesday's NBC Nightly News, arguing “the debate over health care reform has gone too far. It's now veered into threats of violence,” citing “ten Democrats who have been threatened.” Incredibly, on Thursday night, Williams still portrayed opponents as the only ones with miscreants amongst their ranks: "While the White House continues to celebrate its largest-ever legislative victory, opponents of health care reform have reacted to the final vote with anger, a few of them with threats of violence."

2. GMA Highlights Threats Against Bart Stupak, Ignored 'Living Hell' Congressman Suffered Before Vote
Good Morning America's Pierre Thomas on Thursday played up the threats and intimidation that Bart Stupak has suffered since he voted for the health care bill. However, last week, the same program ignored the "living hell" the Congressman dealt with as he claimed to oppose the legislation.

3. CNN Condemns Threats Against Pro-ObamaCare Reps, 'Death of a President' OK
On Thursday's American Morning, CNN's John Roberts repeatedly decried the "troubling language" against pro-ObamaCare congressman which "violate any sense of common decency." But his own program over three years earlier helped promote a controversial 2006 movie which forwarded an imaginary assassination attempt against then-President George W. Bush. Just after the top of the 6 am Eastern hour, Roberts responded to a report by correspondent Carol Costello on ten Democratic representatives' request for extra security after their reportedly received threatening messages: "Wow. It really is, as you said, at the top, it is troubling, some of the language out there."

4. CBS: Health Care Debate 'Gets Ugly,' GOP Using 'Violent Rhetoric and Imagery'
At the top of Thursday's CBS Early Show, co-host Maggie Rodriguez proclaimed: "The health care debate gets ugly as Democrats who voted for reform report violence and death threats." In a report that followed, correspondent Nancy Cordes promoted left-wing talking points blaming the GOP: "Democrats accuse Republicans of stoking the anger with violent rhetoric and imagery." As one example of the threats against Democrats, Cordes played phone messages left for Michigan Congressman Bart Stupak: "You and your family are scum....We think you're a devil....I hope you die." However, the Early Show failed to mention any of the threatening phone calls made to Stupak last week, by liberals upset over the pro-life Democrat still being on the fence over the abortion language in ObamaCare.

5. NYT's Hulse Passes Along Dems Points on Violent, Racist Protests, Even Cites Palin Facebook Page
New York Times congressional reporter Carl Hulse plays along with the Democrat exploitation of a few extremist protesters for political gain: "Still, the dark and personal tone of the final stages of the health fight could complicate Republican efforts to maintain their attacks on the legislation if they are seen as inciting an undue level of outrage and, conversely, could bolster Democrats if opponents of the measure are seen as breaching the boundaries of civility. The reports of threats, coming after a tense weekend when protesters hurled racial and homophobic slurs at Democrats and spit on one congressman, left many Democrats shaken." Where was the Times when GOP campaign offices were being vandalized in 2004?

6. ABC Frets That 'Angry Talk' From Sarah Palin, Boehner 'Could Push a Deranged Person Over the Edge'
Good Morning America on Thursday worried about the possible violence Sarah Palin's Twitter page could cause to Democrats who voted for the health care bill. Guest host Bill Weir interviewed Barney Frank and fretted, "Some on the left have also been pointing to Sarah Palin's Twitter message encouraging her followers to 'Do not retreat. Instead, reload.'"

7. NBC's Curry Hectors McCain to Condemn Palin's 'Incendiary Language'
Picking up the Democratic line that her MSNBC colleagues started repeating yesterday, NBC's Ann Curry, on Thursday's Today show, continually harangued Senator John McCain about Republican lawmakers "encouraging the violence" against Democrats, and even urged the Arizona senator to condemn his former running mate Sarah Palin. After Curry recounted that the former Alaska governor had "posted a map highlighting weak Democratic districts...with a crosshair symbol" she pressed McCain: "Do you know recommend that your party use less incendiary language?" When McCain responded that terms like "targeted" and "battleground" are just part of the "political lexicon" Curry persisted: "These are very dangerous times. Is this the language that we should be hearing today?"

8. Thomas and Beckel Bring 'Common Ground' to Undermining Demonization of Fox News
In the Thursday edition of their every other week “Common Ground” discussion for USA Today, Cal Thomas and Bob Beckel took up the liberal charge the Fox News Channel is out of bounds. Neither found any credence or efficacy in the efforts to discredit the channel. “The White House had been essentially stiff-arming Fox reporters in a very Nixonian way until someone at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue wised up,” the liberal Beckel noted.

AMEDORI: Incumbent Senator Is Out Of Touch

(Westminster, MD) March 25, 2010 Carmen Amedori, Republican candidate for United States Senate in Maryland, states that the incumbent Senator's remark that "the Republican Party is from Mars" shows just how out of touch she is with the electorate.

“For Senator Mikulski to think the majority of citizens she represents are content with this health care bill shows she is uninformed. I continue to listen to the voices of Marylanders from the Allegany Mountains to the shores of Ocean City, and they are not happy campers,” Amedori said.

“She has been in office too long and her tangent of using examples of "Venus, Mars, and Earth" in comparison to the Democrat and Republican parties, should serve as a reminder to all voters that the four-term Senator may not have all voters' best interests in mind as she prepares to vote for Reconciliation to pass this bill.” said Amedori.

Amedori believes true reform would include tort reform, associated health plans along with pre-existing conditions. Additionally, Amedori does not agree with the robbing of $500 Billion from Medicare to supplement Medicaid.

"How in the world can Senator Mikulski turn her back on our senior citizens," Amedori lamented.

As Maryland's next U.S. Senator, Amedori will work to repeal and replace this unconstitutional legislation. “Mikulski has made it clear that she does not have the best intentions of all Marylanders at heart by voting among party lines and insulting the Republican voters," Amedori said.

Amedori is a former Maryland House Delegate where she served on the Judiciary Committee and quickly rose to the position of Assistant Minority Leader. She earned a distinguished reputation for being a fiscal conservative, a strong advocate for property rights, and a champion for small business. In 2004, Governor Robert Ehrlich honored Amedori by appointing her to the Maryland Parole Commission where she served until last year.

Amedori is a graduate of Stevenson University. Before entering public life, she was a paralegal and journalist for the Baltimore Sun. She is the proud mother of two adult daughters.

AMEDORI: Health Care Mandate is Act of radical progressivism

AMEDORI: Health Care Mandate is Act of radical progressivism

(Westminster, MD) March 21, 2010 Today, [posted on Soundtrack March 26, 2010] Carmen Amedori, Republican candidate for United States Senate in Maryland states the passing of the Health Care is not only a mandate we cannot afford but also one more step toward socialism by the Progressive liberals.

“By mandating people to buy health insurance, you are not driving down the costs. By having the Government run an industry that is 16% of our economy is just another step toward a socialist agenda. This is not reform. This is crippling free enterprise and personal choice of the individual.” said Amedori.

Amedori believes that a reform package must include tort reform, associated health plans, rules that allow people to purchase health insurance across state lines, and more emphasis on health savings accounts and allow people with pre-existing conditions to purchase insurance coverage.

Amedori says when elected the next U.S. Senator from Maryland she will work to repeal and replace this unconstitutional legislation. “It seems our Congress does not listen to the majority of Americans on this issue. This is nothing more than increase in government, taxes and millions of dollars in unfunded mandates.”

Amedori is a former Maryland House Delegate where she served on the Judiciary Committee and quickly rose to the position of Assistant Minority Leader. She earned a distinguished reputation for being tough on crime, a strong advocate for property rights, and a champion for small business. In 2004, Governor Robert Ehrlich honored Amedori by appointing her to the Maryland Parole Commission where she served until last year.

Amedori is a graduate of Stevenson University. Before entering public life, she was a paralegal and journalist for the Baltimore Sun. She is the proud mother of two daughters.

“It is time we do more for Maryland than our incumbent Senator,” added Amedori. “

Mount Airy town elections a little over a month away

Mount Airy town elections a little over a month away

League of Women Voters of Carroll County to hold candidates’ forum.

March 19, 2010 by Kevin Dayhoff

The mayor’s office and two council seats are up for grabs this coming May 3 when Mount Airy citizens go to the polls to select new leadership for the town.

It was standing room only at the Mount Airy board of supervisors of elections citizens’ meeting on March 8 in the town hall council chambers. The chair of the elections board, Bruce Walz, banged the gavel and brought the short, 20-minute meeting to order at precisely 7 p.m.

Citizens, from the town of almost 10,000, which straddles the Frederick and Carroll County border, crowded into the room to nominate candidates to vie for the mayor’s office, currently held by Peter Helt; and two council seats, currently held by Gary Nelson and Chris Everich.

Citizens nominated Wendi Peters, currently a town councilmember, and Patrick Rockinberg, who currently serves as the vice-chair of the Mount Airy planning and zoning commission to vie for mayor.

For the two council seats, citizens choose three to stand for election: David M. Blais, Scott Strong, and incumbent councilmember Chris Everich.

Councilmember Gary Nelson is to date, not a candidate for re-election.

Each town council member is paid $4,000 per year and the mayor is paid $8,500 a year.

In the last several years, Mount Airy has stayed in the news for political turmoil and intrigue, allegations of ethics violations, quarrels over growth and annexation, recreation, and water. On September 3, 2007, the town was awakened to a devastating three-alarm fire in the 200 block of South Main Street.

In 2009, a total of three citizens took turns in the mayor’s office in a year of public bickering and disagreement.

Helt, who was voted in as mayor by the council members on Dec. 7, 2009 after the council voted out former Mayor David Pyatt, chose not to stand for election for mayor. Helt had taken the place of former Mayor Frank Johnson Jr., who was elected in 2006 and resigned in February 2009.

There was also turnover in 2009 among the councilmembers as Everich was chosen to take the place former councilmember John Woodhull who moved out of town and did not finish his term.

On the evening of the citizens’ nominations the League of Women Voters of Carroll County announced that the non-partisan organization will hold a candidates’ forum on March 31 at 7 p.m. for those running for office.

The forum will be held at the Mount Airy town hall and will be broadcast live by the Community Media Center. The forum will feature questions developed by the League and questions from the audience. For more information about the forum, contact the League at info@carroll.lwvmd.org.

The last day for write-in candidates to get on the ballot is 5 p.m. April 12. The deadline to register to vote is April 5 and absentee ballots are available at the town offices up until April 15.

Elections are held in the town every two years. Citizens will have an opportunity to vote for one mayor and two councilmembers on Monday, May 3, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Firemen's Activities Building on Twin Arch Road.

For more information call the town office at 410-795-6012 or 301-829-1424 or visit the town web site at http://www.mountairymd.org/.
