    2018 LEGISLATIVE REPORT CARD LEADERS OF A BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE 1 Greetings, Thank you for engaging Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle’s 2018 Legislative Report Card. As Baltimore’s grassroots think tank, we pride ourselves on providing public accountability and transparency regarding both our elected officials and public policy issues. Our unapologetic Black political analysis and policy training allows us a unique opportunity to guide the Baltimore community through the complex political terrain. To establish a more racially equitable Baltimore it is essential that we have honest and straightforward conversations about the structural dynamics that have often plagued our city. The lesson from the 2015 Baltimore Uprising is that when we fail to invest directly in our communities, the entire region suffers politically and economically. LBS’ values are grounded in the fundamental idea that the Black community can self-determine it’s trajectory when given the appropriate resources and structure to do so. We should not simply wait for our elected officials to do the right thing when they are in office. We elect them, and therefore, we should be the judge that assesses whether or not they are working in our best interests. This report card, the first of its kind produced by our organization, hopes to move our city in that direction. Founded in 2010, Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle has been a consistent voice in Annapolis on a litany of public policy issues – particularly criminal justice reform. What you’ll read is this document are our analyses of what legislators have done during their 2014-2018 terms as state legislators.

  • Maryland Association of Election Officials Representing the Local Election Boards of the State of Maryland
    Maryland Association of Election Officials Representing the Local Election Boards of the State of Maryland MEMORANDUM To: Michael Cogan, Chairman, Maryland State Board of Elections Linda Lamone, Esq., Administrator, Maryland State Board of Elections From: David Garreis, President Maryland Association of Election Officials (MAEO) Date: August 5, 2020 Re: Plan for Success - 2020 Presidential General Election The members of the Maryland Association of Election Officials (MAEO) are writing to provide our plan for the successful conduct of the 2020 Presidential General Election. The State of Maryland is at a critical juncture in the Election process. There are slightly more than 90-days until Election Day. The Election Community must have a set-in-stone plan for the conduct of the General Election. Failure to do so will result in the failure of the Election process in Maryland. MAEO has provided the Maryland State Board of Elections (SBE) and the Governor with our professional, non-partisan recommendations for conducting the General Election in writing and in conference call meetings several times. MAEO is dedicated to providing all eligible voters with the ability to cast their ballot in a safe and secure manner. We are making our final appeal to your decision making authority before we enter a period where no amount of backpedaling or last minute changes will avoid a catastrophic failure of the 2020 Presidential General Election. We are providing four common-sense recommendations for the conduct of the Election in the hopes that the powers that be will find a way to adopt these policies and provide the voters of Maryland with a convenient and hassle-free opportunity to vote, either by mail-in ballot, during early voting, or on Election Day.

  • 2018 Monoblogue Accountability Project
    2018 monoblogue Accountability Project A voting summary for the Maryland General Assembly ©2018 Michael Swartz. Reprint permission is granted with credit to “Michael Swartz at monoblogue” (with link) Introduction I began the monoblogue Accountability Project in 2008 as the successor to an earlier effort called the Maryland Accountability Project. It graded all 188 members of the General Assembly on whether they voted in what the author considered a conservative manner or not. Since the creator of the project moved on to other things I took up the baton, with my first year’s work incorporating three sessions: the 2007 Regular Session, the 2007 Special Session, and the 2008 Regular Session. I continued the project for the entire 2007-10 electoral term and began anew with the 2011 session. Now I finish my work with this year, the end of my third term for the mAP. With the primary coming up June 26, I thought it important to get this edition out as early as possible. Unfortunately, in looking at the races as they are shaping up, there are sadly too few good opportunities to eliminate the deadwood of the General Assembly as well as those so-called “progressive” members who are, in truth, blocking our progress in returning to the status of the “Free State.” It is for this main reason you are far more than likely looking at the last Maryland edition of the monoblogue Accountability Project – Delaware is a more appealing state, so that's where we plan on relocating. I'll still be working in Maryland but, unless I see a compelling reason to continue I think it's time I shifted focus to the other side of the Transpeninsular Line.

  • To: the Honorable Joan Carter Conway Chair, Senate Education
    To: The Honorable Joan Carter Conway Chair, Senate Education, Health & Environmental Affairs Committee Miller Senate Office Building, 2 West Wing 11 Bladen Street Annapolis, MD 21401-1991 Re: SB 748 Position: OPPOSE Date: March 16, 2015 Chairman Conway: My name is Brent Miller, and I am the Northeastern States Director for the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF). As a passionate outdoorsman living in Northern Virginia, and working in Washington, DC, I am a regular non-resident license buyer in Maryland and have made many trips to the Old Line State to pursue whitetail and sika deer, geese, ducks, and rockfish. Further, I serve as a Steering Committee Member for the Maryland Sportsmen’s Marketing initiative – an effort to increase fish and wildlife associated tourism throughout the State. I am writing to express the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation’s strong opposition to SB 748 which, if passed, would authorize the commercial sale of wild venison harvested through crop damage permits. Since 1989 the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation has maintained a singleness of purpose that has guided the organization to become the most respected and trusted sportsmen's organization in the political arena. CSF's mission is to work with Congress, governors, and state legislatures to protect and advance hunting, angling, recreational shooting, and trapping. The unique and collective force of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus (CSC), the Governors Sportsmen's Caucus (GSC) and the National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses (NASC), working closely with CSF, and with the support of major hunting, recreational fishing & shooting, and trapping organizations, serves as an unprecedented network of pro-sportsmen elected officials that advance the interests of America's hunters and anglers.
