Good News For Maryland

HB235, the Maryland "gender identity" bill, was recommitted back to the Judicial Proceedings Committee - and the session is now over.

It will probably rear its ugly head next year, and we'll be ready!

HB 235 On The Maryland Radar Screen Again

It now appears that HB 235 is back in the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee again.  This is a far more liberal committee.  A few weeks ago I posted the committee members; please go back to that post and start the phone calls and emails up again.  For the sake of our families, churches and children, we must send that bill down in flames.

Important Update on HB235

Yesterday I had announced that HB235 was in the MD Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee.  I learned a few hours ago that it has been transferred to the Rules Committee.  This pro-transgender site is now bemoaning what it believes the fate of the bill to be.  However, they also pledge to keep fighting.

I wish I could say their pessimism was accurate, but we dare not presume upon that.  We too must lobby that this bill does indeed die in committee - whatever committee that ultimately hears this thing.  Here is the list for the members of that committee. 

Below, for ease of emailing, is all the emails for the members of the committee.  Let those emails fly!

Need To Double Down On HB 235

This past Friday, HB 235, the so-called "Gender Identity Anti-Discrimination Act", passed the MD House of Representatives.   It has now moved to the MD Senate.  We need to stop it there.

The particular senate committee is the Judicial Proceedings Committee.  I for one do not advocate lobbying the entire Senate at this time.  Rather, let's focus attention and effort on the members of this committee.  Let's keep this from coming to the senate floor.
