Scholarships for Eagle Scouts and Gold Award Girl
Scouts -
Members
of the Maryland House of Delegates would like to pass a bill, HB296, that
would exempt Eagle Scouts and Golden Award Girl Scouts from tuition at
Maryland public colleges. WBAL-TV is taking a public poll on this. There are
three things I would you to do. First, please
click on this link, review the story, take a look at the bill, and add your
voice to the WBAL-TV survey. When you are done, click on your browser Back

Thank
you.
The
next thing you can do to help is contact members of the General Assembly. The bill is before the Appropriations Committee. Please
contact your delegates and the Appropriations Committee to let them know how
you feel. You can send them mail, or e-mail, or telephone their offices. To
get their contact information, click the link below and get the information
you need.
Contact
your Legislators Maryland
General Assembly and the Appropriations
Chairman Norman Conway. You can also obtain a copy of the bill at this website.
Be sure to put HB296 in the subject of any correspondence, including email,
and don't forget to include your address so they know they represent YOU!
You can add the names of other, like-minded members of your household, too.
The
next thing you can do to help these deserving young men and women is copy this message into a new email that you send to all the people you know
who care about the accomplishments of these dedicated kids. Please don't
forward the message. For many people it arrives as an attachment that scares
people from opening it. If the message isn't read, people cannot act.
And
lastly, please let me know that you have acted by clicking this link and
sending me an email. I did it!
We
all have a responsibility to participate in our governance. This is an
opportunity.
