Thank You to Harford and Cecil County Countians

Update on the Dream Act

To the many, many Harford and Cecil County citizens who responded to the MDPetition Dream Act drive, THANK YOU! To those who worked so hard on the Petition drive, THANK YOU. To those of you who signed it, THANK YOU!!

There were over 110,000 certified signatures which pushed this to a referendum vote in the 2012 election.  The people of Harford and Cecil County spoke and they spoke loud and clear.  The citizens of Maryland are NOT divided on this issue.  More than 80% of the people are against the Dream Act, the numbers are higher in Harford and Cecil Counties.  

Our children and legal citizens deserve the lower in-state tuition rates. Those that are undocumented or illegal do not deserve this. We need to be sure to keep these positions available for our own children and citizens. Casa de MD is suing MDPetitions to cancel out your voice against this unjust law (SB167) and pledge to spend $5 million to stop this going to referendum. The people of Harford and Cecil Counties and all of Maryland have spoken and asserted their First Amendment right ….“Freedom of speech”……doing the right thing bringing this to a vote of all the people!

That being said, I also respect others opinions that are in favor of the Dream Act, even though we disagree on this issue.
