I think the phone/fax/email message went out before the 10th {Was that the Q&R show date?) as our Dem governor was alerting our DNC newspaper on the 7th.

O’Malley laments depleted Guard resources

Gov. Martin O’Malley lamented Monday [May 7] that the ongoing deployment of 1,300 Maryland National Guardsmen this year to Iraq has left the state short on reserves and equipment.
His staff also circulated a memo that an aide said was prepared by the Guard at the request of Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski, indicating that the state is facing “critical equipment shortfalls to meet its domestic homeland security mission.”
Pointing to tornado-ravaged Kansas as evidence of the need to maintain state resources, the governor said that the equipment and troop shortage at home because of the war has “made our country more vulnerable instead of more safe.”
“They’re just simply not there to do their homeland security job because they’ve been deployed to do the job in Iraq, and it’s a big problem,” the governor said.

Our gov is very tight with DNC operatives. Maryland is a test state for all kinds of nastiness.
The boy Governor does it to the People’s Republic of Maryland.
Yet again.
I hate this state.
