Annapolis Lobby Night Monday March 13.

Talk with voters in Senator Miller's District March 11-12.

HB 244, the Paper Trail Bill, passed the House of Delegates with a vote of 137-0 today. www.wjla.com/news/stories/0360/309170.html That's right, NOT ONE Delegate voted against the bill. NOW, we have to get the bill through the State Senate, no easy task, since Senate President Mike Miller is not yet on board. YOU can help by getting out to Senator Miller's District this weekend and talking to his constituents [contact Joyce Dowling at jdowling@drix.net or at 301-782-9922], attending Lobby Night in Annapolis on Monday evening [see www.TrueVoteMD.org website for directions and email Alex@TrueVoteMD.org if you can attend], and/or writing a letter to Senator Miller asking him to support the bill. This is the most important vote that the State Senate will cast this legislative session. Diebold's lobbyists are trying to get Senate Bill 713 amemded to save their multimilion dollar contract and keep Diebold's insecure electronic voting machines in Maryland. Our task is to get Senator Miller and other Maryland Senators to stop listening to State Elections Administrator Linda Lamone and to Diebold's lobbyists, start listening to their constituents, and to the unanimous House of Delegates vote, and oppose Diebold's hostile amendments. So please do whatever you can this do week.
