(Reflections Blog) In 2010 many folks, including me, hope to see Ron Miller replace Mike Miller in the Maryland State Senate. Ron is an exceptional human being, husband, father, veteran, and member of the Southern Maryland community. Ron shares my concern that government works hard to play down our Judeo-Christian history, values, and faith. In his latest blog article, Ron shares his view on Maryland’s  War Against Prayer:

“An engineer friend of mine had a saying that “one point in time does not a trend make.” When it comes to one issue in the state of Maryland, however, I believe we have enough events, all within the span of a few weeks, to declare a trend; the act of prayer is officially under siege in Maryland.”

” New York is the least free by a considerable margin, followed by New Jersey, Rhode Island, California, and Maryland.”

(RegularFolksUnited.com – by Ron Miller) “As we approach the end of the 21st century’s first decade, we are reaping the whirlwind brought about by one of the most deceptive and cunning politicians to come upon the scene in my generation. A man barely known outside of Illinois in the summer of 2004 is the President of the United States in 2009, becoming the leader of the world’s most powerful nation through an illusion not unlike the Wizard of Oz, all the while deflecting attention from the man behind the curtain.”

(CalvertNews.info – 031709) By Elbee Foote) PRINCE FREDERICK – A grassroots “tea party” protest movement comprised of Republicans, Democrats and independents concerned about the direction in which our nation is headed has broken out across America and is now landing in U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s own backyard. Ordinary folks have had enough and hundreds, most of whom have never engaged in a protest before, are volunteering.

(Ed note: Sponsored in part by the Calvert Republicans but this is a cross-party event schedule for Sunday, 3/22/09 1430 hrs in Solomons, Maryland. Please read the complete article at CalvertNews.info for all information!
