The League of Women Voters: Patriot Act
Today is a somber reminder that people can and do feel free to abuse the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness of others.
If you’re concerned about your own personal life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, don’t forget that tomorrow is the Maryland State Primary, and that on November 7 we all, as Americans over the age of 18, have not just the right but the responsibility to vote and direct our leaders.
If you haven’t registered to vote, please do. You still have time to vote in the main election. If you have, many thanks!
The only way we are going to change our leadership is if we tip the balance in the senate and house.

** I REFUSE to use the words “Patriots’ Day” – patriots know what they’re fighting for, and make a conscious decision to lose their lives. Characterizing victims like this implies choice.
