I have put in for the afternoon off work, and will be at the OCTOBER 16th event in Bethesda.
OCTOBER 16 (Wednesday)
WHAT: Kathleen Kennedy Townsend fundraiser with HILLARY CLINTON and MD Senator Barbara Mikulski
WHERE: Bethesda Marriott, 5151 Pooks Hill Rd, Bethesda
WHEN: 5:00pm until 7:30pm (event starts at 5:30pm)
This event is going to get a lot of local media attention, and wouldn’t it look great if there was a sea of “Ehrlich for Governor” signs and supporters outside.
The Bethesda Marriott is very convenient to the Beltway.
I am on call on Fridays, and my family can't afford me to lose that extra pay; but I will be there if I win the big money in the VA lottery tonight :-)
OCTOBER 18 (Friday)
WHAT: Get Out the Vote Rally with Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and Bill Clinton
WHERE: Coppin State College, on “The Quad”, 2500 West North Avenue, Baltimore
WHEN: 4:30pm
From KKT’s website “Join PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON for a free Get Out the Vote Rally with KATHLEEN KENNEDY TOWNSEND, Friday, October 18th, 4:30pm, Coppin State College on “The Quad.” Additional information to follow.”

Anti-gun politicians are scrambling to benefit from the Beltway sniper.
Just one day after vowing to avoid the gun issue as long as the sniper is loose, Maryland gubernatorial nominee Kathleen Kennedy Townsend proved herself a liar by shipping a new ad to Washington TV stations that reviles her GOP opponent for voting against a ban on so-called "assault weapons."
"In the 30-second ad, which is scheduled to begin airing today, the camera pans over an array of militaristic-looking rifles, then cuts to a man pulling a handgun out of his front pocket," the Washington Post reported today.
An announcer tells viewers that Republican Robert Ehrlich Jr. "voted against banning assault weapons and cheap handguns" and received an F grade from the almighty Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
'Shameful'
"We've got a killer on the loose, we have funerals taking place, and she and her campaign have decided to put that to use for their political gain. It's shameful," Ehrlich campaign spokesman Paul Schurick told the Post.
Townsend's campaign says it rolled out the issue after left-of-center Rep. Constance Morella, R-Md., began airing a radio ad in Montgomery County in which anti-gun activist Sarah Brady hails Morella for "stand[ing] up to the gun lobby." What that has to do with the gubernatorial campaign is a mystery: Morella is not running against Townsend.
Although the Maryland suburbs' anti-firearms laws have done nothing to stop the gunman, pundits say the sniper attacks could propel the foundering Townsend into the governor's mansion in Annapolis.
Maryland's two left-wing Democrat senators, Second Amendment opponents Paul Sarbanes and Barbara Mikulski, have been milking the crisis for photo opportunities.
Another anti-gun pol, Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., wants the Federal Trade Commission to investigate and stop the sale of "military" rifles to Americans.
"There is no legitimate purpose for a military rifle than to make war," Conyers said Thursday. "There is no reason these rifles should be marketed to civilians."
And of course, the anti-Second Amendment organizations are having a feeding frenzy.
She must not win!
What? You mean there's more than one conservative in Maryland--me? I feel like one of those poor persecuted Christians in China, hiding my beliefs so I don't get my hands cut off by the local government for the crime of being conservative.
