Quick links

Astute readers may notice I’ve added a few new links in the last few days, including two this morning.

A few days back I added the Eastern Shore Libertarians site which is essentially operated by recent Salisbury City Council aspirant Muir Boda. While I’m obviously a registered Republican and would like to see people vote that way, as a party we could do quite well in adopting many libertarian planks concerning limited government and – arguably – a more hands-off approach to personal freedom issues (e.g. working against the nanny state of Maryland.) Obviously the reason there is a Libertarian Party is because neither of the two predominant parties address all the issues they hold dear, although I see the Republicans IF they were properly following their platform falling much closer.

This morning I added a new blog in the Free State bloggers section called Subprime Maryland. It’s the voice of Maryland’s chapter of Americans for Prosperity (as I note, are there any Americans for loss? Maybe in Annapolis and Washington.) It’s a statewide blog but has a heavy Eastern Shore influence; in fact, it’s relevant today because the local AFP chapter is meeting tonight at 7 p.m. over at Bayland Aviation at 5279 Airport Road in Salisbury (naturally, adjacent to the airport.)

The other item I placed this morning is the beginning of the Election 2010 area of my website, starting with a link to Jim Rutledge’s U.S. Senate website. With the large number of state races up for grabs, this may eventually become a very large column depending on how widespread an area I decide to cover (for example, the Eastern Shore has three Maryland Senate and seven House of Delegates districts, so that will certainly take up space.)

I have yet to begin work on my legislative scorecard for the General Assembly session just past, so I may not hit my original goal of being done by July 4th. But, one never knows because I only have one session to cover and not three as I did last year in starting the process. It’s something that I will start researching in coming days and readers won’t want to miss when it’s done because voting patterns continue to emerge.
