Tell Your Delegate You Support Marriage Equality!

The legislation which would bring marriage equality to Maryland was successfully passed through the Senate last week, but the battle isn't over. This week the fight continues in the House of Delegates, where the opposition is gaining strength with the help of dirty tricks and out-of-state organizations.

We need to make sure the support is louder than the opposition. Contact your delegates and make sure they plan to vote YES when the bill reaches the floor! You can use your home or campus address, as it is your home for four years.

MARRIAGE EQUALITY IS ALMOST HERE FOR MARYLAND!

Bill Your Books to Boehner

Okay, maybe this isn't the most appropriate picture, but you try finding a picture of John Boehner buying a textbook.

If you haven't already heard, Republicans in Congress are proposing dramatic cuts to the nation's budget.  One of their proposed cuts would include reducing Pell Grants by $845 per student.  This is about the annual cost of textbooks for an average college student.

In order to combat the GOP's plans, students from all over the country are being encouraged to Bill Your Books to Boehner.  So, we're encouraging you to do the same.

Send copies of your receipts to:

Speaker John Boehner
H-232 The Capitol
Washington, DC 20515

Include a message with:

What $845 means to you:

Don't have access to stamps or envelopes?  E-mail umbccollegedems@gmail.com or post on our Facebook page.  We'll make sure your bills get to Boehner.
