  Breaking News: Today at noon, 3 groups will officially announce their lawsuit against the Maryland State Board of Elections. Their goal? To throw out your signatures and invalidate all of your hard work.

  We just received word that CASA de Maryland, the Maryland division of the National Educators Association (NEA), and an illegal immigrant will jointly file a lawsuit on the basis of two things:

  1) They are claiming that all of the signatures obtained from the website are not valid.

  2) They are asserting that the entire petition drive is not valid as they feel that the bill is an “appropriations bill” which, according to the Maryland Constitution, is not permitted to be petitioned.

  Of course, we disagree with their assertions and will be sending out a press release by this afternoon with our response. We will send it to you first.

  The will of the people of Maryland was clearly shown through this petition drive. We do not want to pay our tax dollars to pay for more than half of the college tuition for illegal immigrants – people who are breaking the law. Through your hard work, we turned in more than TWICE the number of signatures required.

  Now is the time to take action – This lawsuit is ignoring the will of the people AND trying to disenfranchise your signatures by playing political games.

  We will be in touch very soon with more details and action steps.

  Sincerely,
  Neil

  Delegate Neil C. Parrott, Chairman;
  Delegate Pat L. McDonough, Honorary Chairman.
