DREAM Act Opponents File Over 40,000 Signatures

Len Lazarick @ Maryland Reporter reports that the group attempting to force the “Maryland DREAM Act” to referendum has filed over 40,000 signatures.  This was more than twice the number required to be filed by Tuesday’s deadline.

18,579 signature were required by Tuesday.  Del. Neil Parrott (R-2B) stated, “We know that some of them are going to be thrown out.”

Beginning Friday, the Maryland State Board of Elections will begin posting a running tally of the validated signatures.  The petitioners must collect another 35,157 valid signatures by June 30 in order for the referendum to appear on the 2012 statewide ballot.

Obama is having a fit and cancelled his basketball game this afternoon to call Omalley.

"How can these people tell us what to do" Obama hollers.
