Former Maryland governor Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R) used his Saturday morning radio program to promote a defiant march on Annapolis on Wednesday, the opening day of the 2010 legislative session. (Wednesday 1-13-2010)"This is your night," Ehrlich, who is contemplating a rematch with Gov. Martin O'Malley (D), told his listeners on WBAL radio in Baltimore. "I want to encourage a major, major presence. I want to encourage the largest crowd ever in Annapolis, Maryland."
On its Web site, the Maryland chapter of Americans for Prosperity, the organizers of the march, encourage people to "come to Annapolis and send a message to your elected officials: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" The group claims that O'Malley's "fiscal mismanagement is astounding."
A representative of Americans for Prosperity who appeared on the radio show, which Ehrlich co-hosts weekly with his wife, Kendel, said organizers are expecting 500 to 1,000 people.
"That's not good enough," Ehrlich said, suggesting he would like to see "a couple of thousand, minimum."
"If you're frustrated, show up," said Kendel Ehrlich.
Both Bob Ehrlich and event organizers said Wednesday's march is a nonpartisan event. No elected officials from either party are scheduled to speak, which Ehrlich said "is a good call."
Ehrlich has said he is weighing another bid for governor but given no timetable for announcing a decision. In recent fundraising letters, O'Malley has treated Ehrlich as though he is running.
