Opponents of the petition drive to force the MD DREAM Act to referendum would have you believe that it’s only a bunch of Republicans, and right wing Republicans at that, who are signing the petitions. Sadly for them, nothing could be further from the truth.
It appears that at least 50% of those signing the petitions are Democrats. There are even Democrat legislators backing the drive. One such legislator is Maryland Sen. James Brochin (D-42) of Baltimore County.
Perhaps we should ask where Jim Mathias and Norm Conway are on this issue.
Watch this video from FOX45 in Baltimore.
H/T – Cecil Calvert
Mathias & Conway co-authoried that bill.

ReplyDeleteAs a Salisbury native that has been working in the Senate over the past couple years, I am happy to see Mathias' vote. A CLEAR NO.
Obviously, nobody from the Shore would have anything to do with this bill...
