AFP Wicomico County - LAZER FOCUSEDMeeting and Activities
October 2009
Dear Joe,
Greetings! It's been a while since I have sent you an email. There has been a lot going on, keeping me busy! I hope to give you an update of some of the happenings in this email. First and foremost our efforts to stop the crazy spending in Washington and socialized Healthcare are paying off! Now is not the time to slack off! 2010 is just around the corner and we need to continue to beat back big government and influence the political spectrum.
AFP Wicomico Meeting THIS Monday (10/26) at 6pm at Adams Ribs on Route 13 in Fruitland
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been a long busy month since we last met and much has happened and much is planned! Please be sure to attend this meeting THIS Monday and bring a friend or 10. AFP has grown so large on the Eastern Shore, we have decided to break up the counties to expand our efforts and give more access to local county residents. That being said; we need to grow the effort in Wicomico, as there is much work to do here and all over the state as well as nationally. Please consider bringing a friend or two to the meeting and forwarding this email to anyone concerned about the direction our government is taking. This meeting will feature a visit from Delegate Eckerd and we have upcoming plans to involve you with; including private meetinga with elected officials as well as a huge state event upcoming in Annapolis. Additionally, we plan to discuss and educate you on the political happenings in our state and country give you a vehicle to put into action at this next session. We also hope to share with you methods on how you can influence this next election cycle.
The State of the State
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I am sure you aware, Maryland is TWO BILLION DOLLARS short of their budget and they are taking back state promised funds from all counties causing the domino effect. Wicomico is now over 4 million dollars in the hole, even after the furloughs. Please make sure you attend the NIGHT MEETING/Public Hearing schedule for Tuesday November 10th at 6pm in the Midway Room at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center, to discuss how they are going to deal with this and the cuts necessary to balance the budget. Additionally we need a good showing to once again make our voices heard for transparency in government and REGULAR night meetings. So, put it on the calendar and we'll discuss our strategy more at next Monday's (10/26) meeting. For more information on this; please click here to check out my commentary on it.
Salisbury has some issues too. Taking stimulous monies for things they don't need, like a million dollar fire boat. Some things are just unbelievable. It's time to take action on all levels of the governement. AFP can help you understand how, as a strong nationwide group, to take effective action.
Defending the American Dream ReCap
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On October 2nd and 3rd, AFP Lower Shore headed to Washington DC for the Defending the American Dream Summit. What a wonderful event to make an impact on our elected officials and network with AFP and the Campaign for Liberty activists all across the country! We had an interesting event when we had 60 AFP members show up over at Kratovil's DC office. See the video here and here.
For those of you who attended; thank you for taking time from your family, your work, and your community to stand up for our economic freedoms by attending AFP Foundation's 3rd Annual Defending the American Dream Summit. Over 2,000 activists came to DC to here from great speakers, and learn what they can do to promote free market principles. For pictures of the event, here are the ones I took: click here
