LWV of Anne Arundel, Feb 2009
Dear Leaguers:
A warm welcome to new members Jane Henderson and Bonita Spikes, as well as returning member Delegate Mary Ann Love.
February and March are “lobby months.” What we LIVE for. In February keep an eye on the bills submitted to the Maryland General Assembly. To find out what bills the League is following, go to your state League page lwvmd.org and click on Report from State Circle (http://www.lwvmd.org/Member/RSC). The bills are explained and their significance noted by 20 fellow members of the League who have volunteered to keep track of areas of legislation. We members’ role is to keep informed and contact our legislators on bills that have the League’s support. We will be alerted by the state League. Look for your issue of concern in the Report.
Death Penalty repeal is a priority of the League. See your Maryland League Voter in your recent email or mail box for a very good report on the Governor’s Task Force findings and recommendation for repeal.
Join in on Lobby Day for all Maryland Leagues on February 24th for visits to our Anne Arundel delegation, briefing by the RSC reporters and a lunch with a great speaker. Our League shows up in good numbers. The main activities are all in the Miller Senate building. See the sign up form enclosed. See lobbying tips in this newsletter.
Our meeting on the General Development Plan was very well attended by people from all over the county, including county council chairman Ed Reilly. Al Johnston, a venerable gadfly and extremely knowledgeable citizen, was the featured speaker. Growth Action Network co-sponsored the meeting with us and many county civic groups. Access the GDP on the county website--aacounty.org. See the article inside about the schedule for public briefings by the county with a chance for comments by you. Alert your citizen associations to these meetings. Our ally GrowthAction.net is a good source, also. One county official said privately that residents probably won’t read the plan. Maybe we will surprise them.
Please note a couple of calendar changes: First, we have added a meeting on the National Popular Vote on March 12th. This movement is on a roll across the US, with Maryland in the lead. Our national League has asked us to discuss this plan and forward our comments to them. Bring a bag lunch and we’ll have coffee and some goodies.
Second, the dinner honoring 50-year Leaguers has been rescheduled to May 30th at the State Convention at the Silver Spring Hilton. Anne Nelson is our honoree.
Enjoy this newsletter!
Susan

In November of 2010, Maryland voters will be asked whether they think a Constitutional Convention should be called to rewrite the Maryland Constitution. This "sense of the voters" is required every 20 years. In 1990, the League of Women Voters of Maryland published To ConCon or Not which gave a brief history of the Maryland Constitution, the 1967-68 Constitutional Convention and reasons why voters should or should not vote for another Convention. Although 20 years old, much of the information is relevant today. Please click on the attachment to read this four page document.
