Maryland Politics, part... whatever...

Cardin voted against Net Neutrality.  One vote dropped.

Congress, MD Third District.  I'm searching for canidates...

John Sarbanes' actually had his office call all Democrats (of which I'm one).  I answered, said "I can't commit on anything but I'll research your candidate."  Today, I pulled up his site, hit "Issues" and guess what?  He's got ties in with a religious insitution.  Damnit no!  Time to find another one.

There's Mishonda Baldwin, who has no religious items on her, but she's black and will be the first black House of Rep for Maryland if she's voted in.  There's a few pluses there, and most of what she's running for is worth voting her in -- however, there's only a few issues she's commented on.

Then there's Andy Barth, who wants to yank troops out now (a bad idea, remember Vietnam?).   His site came up and started playing audio which I could not shut off w/o leaving the site.  Bad Andy!  No annoying your audience!  No vote!

Then there's Dr. Peter Beilenson.  Site is nice and tabs friendly.  He's more outspoken on issues than Mishonda. 
He wants to restore the Clean Air Act to Clinton era standards.  He wants to cut the pork, and fix No Child Left Behind.  He's for universal health care.  He wants to streamline Medicare part D.  He wants a gradual redeployment of troups in Iraq, and more support for veterans.  He supports the Apollo Alliance, which is a multi-part plan for crash-converting everyone to cleaner fuels and energy and creating an economy for sustaining the crash-conversion.  He's pro-choice, but also supports prevention via comprehensive sex eduation and better health care (he wants abortion to be "safe, legal, and rare").  He's more worthy of a vote.

There's Patsy Allen of the Green Party, who while has a lack of information, is good for a fall-back candidate.

And finally, there's Charles McPeek, who's site already commits many errors, is pro-flat tax, pro-draft, and has a lack of information on much else.

Guess I'm going for the doctor.
