Thank You To Harford and Cecil Countians

To the many, many Harford and Cecil County citizens who responded to the MDPetition Dream Act drive—Thank You! To those who worked so hard on the Petition drive—thank you! And to those of you who signed it—thank you!

There were more than 110,000 certified signatures which pushed this to a referendum vote in the 2012 election. The people of Harford and Cecil counties spoke and they spoke loud and clear. The citizens of Maryland are not divided on this issue. More than 80 percent of the people are against the Dream Act, the numbers are higher in Harford and Cecil counties.  

Our children and legal citizens deserve the lower in-state tuition rates. We need to be sure to keep the classroom positions available for our own children and citizens.  Casa de MD is suing MDPetitions to cancel out your voice against this unjust law (SB167) and pledged to spend $5 million to stop this going to referendum.

The people of Harford and Cecil Counties and all of Maryland have spoken and asserted their First Amendment right: “Freedom of speech.”    

Even though I may not agree with you on this issue, I do respect the opinions of those in favor of the Dream Act.

Thanks again and enjoy the rest of your summer!
