9] – More people than ever are waking up to the
fact that our federal government, and often our local governments,
work for "the highest bidder" and not the people of this county.
76% of Americans believe there are major problems in Congress, but they don't
know what to do to fix it. Represent.Maryland and Represent.Us have a
plan! By creating a cross partisan network of anti-corruption voters in
Maryland, it is possible to place pressure on elected officials to vote in
favor of anti-corruption measures to stifle corporate abuse.
Represent.Maryland is launching anti-corruption
initiatives in FOUR different jurisdictions across Maryland! These
are in addition to the Baltimore City campaign that has been underway for
some time. On Mon., June 12 get to the Cecil County Kick Off from 6:30 to 7:45
PM at the North East Library. RSVP at https://www.facebook.com/events/215454342301095.
On Tues., June 13 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM, get to the Baltimore County Kick Off at
the Towson Library in the Wilsom Room. RSVP at https://www.facebook.com/events/114405949149911.
10] – A Candlelight Vigil to Remember Pulse
will happen at the Dupont Circle, WDC, on Mon., June 12 from 7 to 8
PM, hosted by Pride Fund to End Gun Violence. Commemorate the massacre on June
12, 2016 at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, FL. A man filled with hate
and armed with an assault rifle murdered 49 people and injured 53 others.
Please bring your own candle as there will be a limited supply available.
