Just received this from Equality Maryland:
Dear Friends,
I’m writing to you from Annapolis with a quick update on Delegate Don Dwyer’s attempt to impeach Attorney General Doug Gansler.
As you know, Attorney General Gansler’s office released an opinion back in February indicating that state agencies should begin recognizing out-of-state same-sex marriages. In response, anti-equality lawmakers have tried every legislative maneuver possible to counter the attorney general’s legally sound opinion. Thanks to your support and the dedication of our legislative allies, we have been able to successfully stop all of these attacks.
But sound legal advice and sheer common sense did not stop Delegate Don Dwyer from attempting to impeach the Attorney General over his legal opinion today on the floor of the House of Delegates. His resolution was referred to the House Judiciary Committee. The Committee will be holding a hearing this afternoon at 3:00 in the Lowe House Office Building, Room 100 – please consider joining us if you are able to get to Annapolis.
Delegate Don Dwyer’s circus today should have no place in any statehouse – let alone in Annapolis. You can help show Delegate Dwyer the door and other homophobic lawmakers come this November by supporting the Equality Maryland Political Action Committee (PAC). Your contribution to the PAC will provide Equality Maryland with the necessary resources to wage a pro-equality campaign in the upcoming state-wide elections. Click here to make your donation and stand with us in our efforts to elect fair minded lawmakers.
Only 11 days remain in the 2010 General Assembly session. Rest assured our team will continue to do all that we can to ensure that the Attorney General’s opinion is upheld and that pro-equality legislation advances, but we cannot do it without your support.
Please consider making a difference today by helping us kick Delegate Don Dwyer and his friends out through the voting booth come November!
Yours in Equality,
Morgan Meneses-Sheets
Executive Director
