Dream Activists claim they have won in the MD Senate "28-17 vote: SB167 has passed!" waiting on press confirmation.

We have to stop in the house because that liberal Governor Omally is behind all this in the first place.

It is TS believe me it is! We had no heads up on this at all! Is that the new strategy slip it in through the back! SOB!

I made all my phone calls yesterday evening then followed with emails and faxes. I am sorry I was unable to report back with my results! Due to my job I am forced to be an "early to bed, early to rise" sort of person and things at the track are rather chaotic now 'cause of the time of year.

Weigh In Corrections?


The bill passed 27-20 still must be approved by the House of Delegates before going to Gov. Martin O’Malley, who has said he would sign it.

During debate, Sen. Victor Ramirez, the bill sponsor who immigrated legally as a child from El Salvador, told opponents that voting against the bill would not solve problems relating to people living illegally in the state. He said the legislation was needed to help people who live here reach their potential and contribute as much as possible to the state.

“It’s about education,â€

Considering I count only 13 Republicans in the MD Senate, 27-20 is really not a bad showing. It means some Dems crossed the aisle and voted NO on this! In my mind, that means we ARE making progress even if it doesn't feel like it. I am hopeful that we can pass some good legislation here in NC because the Republicans control both House and Senate now! Our Dem gov is a big roadblock though--not sure we have enough to override her veto...

This has to go to the house of delegates so if you can make calls today; please do so so maybe it can still be stopped.

Just got a call back on one of the voice mails I left last night
Sen. Stone opposes and "will vote no" ???? Thought they already voted?!?!
