Letter from
the Chairman
Dear Friends,
I have spent a lifetime challenging the status quo, fighting
against tax increases and wasteful spending, fighting to reform
government and to make Maryland a better place. And in spite of the
tremendous odds stacked against us, I am not ready to give up the
fight.
Our mission quite simply is to organize, inform and energize
average Marylanders to fight back and to bring some much needed fiscal
restraint and common sense to Annapolis.
All Marylanders - Republicans, Democrats and Independents -
suffer when the professional politicians and the special interest
groups go unchecked and continue to push the same failed tax and spend
policies, year after year.
The sad truth is that the one-party monopoly that rules
Annapolis has a failed record of lost jobs, higher spending, record
tax increases and broken promises. I think it's time we said 'enough
is enough.' The time has come for us to stand up together and fight
back for a change.
My hope is that you won't give up on our state and that you
will become a part of this important fight forMaryland's future. With
your help, with all of us working together, I truly believe that we
can send a loud and clear message to Annapolis and that we can Change
Maryland for the better.
Please join us by "liking" our ChangeMaryland facebook page,
and going to our website at www.changemaryland.org
to volunteer, contribute and join the fight!

Change Maryland, the state's largest and fastest-growing, independent,
nonpartisan grassroots movement, has surged to 50,000 members, from
every single county and jurisdiction in Maryland. Founded in 2011 by
successful business leader and former Maryland Cabinet Secretary Larry
Hogan, the organization's primary mission is to increase the state's
economic performance and job growth. The group has built a dominating
presence on social media with more people engaged online than the
Maryland Democratic Party, the Maryland Republican Party and all of
the potential statewide candidates of either party, added together.
Change Maryland's Facebook page has a total weekly reach of over
341,153 people. No other citizen group in the state has ever
accomplished what Change Maryland has, in just over two years.

Change Maryland Blasts July 1 Tax and Toll Hikes
Change Maryland founder Larry Hogan fired up a sold-out crowd of
several hundred at a fundraiser last Thursday, "Your family trip to
the beach just got a lot more expensive. Today, the second round of
O'Malley toll increases took effect and the gas tax increase kicked in
at the same time. While you are sitting in traffic at the Bay Bridge
for the 4th of July weekend you can thank Governor O'Malley and the
monopoly in Annapolis for the 140% increase in tolls, and for giving
us the most expensive gas in the region."

Hogan's Group Grows Larger than O'Malley's
Change Maryland, a non-partisan organization, is the largest and
fastest growing grassroots movement in the state made up of more than
46,000 people from every jurisdiction in the state. Nearly half of
them are Democrats and Independents. The group's Facebook page
includes 10 times more people than Democrat gubernatorial candidate
Anthony Brown, and 25 times more than Republican candidate David
Craig. In fact, the Change Maryland page has more people engaged
on-line than the Maryland Democrat and Republican Parties, and all the
potential Democrat and Republican candidates for governor, combined.
As of yesterday, Larry Hogan's organization actually surpassed that of
his frequent sparring partner, Martin O'Malley, the former Baltimore
Mayor, two term governor and candidate for President.

Another Month, and Job Losses Continue for Maryland Families
"Every month in Maryland is like Groundhog's Day – over and over again
we hear this administration talk about jobs, yet more times than not,
Maryland families wake up to learn once again our state has lost
jobs," said Larry Hogan. "Career politicians think that if they say
something enough times, it will eventually become true. And while the
O'Malley-Brown administration likes to talk about jobs, the cold harsh
reality is that 5,700 hard working Marylanders lost their job last
month."
