"We haven't heard the Senator make floor speeches about over 200 men and women murdered in Baltimore City and Prince George's county within a one-year period, " said Douglas. "Trayvon Martin's death is a tragedy, and our prayers are with his family. But let's remember that this is an election year and not forget our people here at home when career politicians seek media attention."

Baltimore Sun: Douglas Runs First TV Commercial in GOP Primary/ 3.27.12

Easton Star-Democrat: Taking on Ben Cardin / 3.26.12
When Governor O'Malley pops up with his gas tax idea, what do you hear from Mr. Cardin? a deafening silence. What you should hear is bloody hell being raised. If I were your senator, you would hear bloody hell being raised.
Douglas said Sen. Cardin recently voted against the Transportation Empowerment Act, legislation introduced to lower the federal gas tax and devolve the power of the Federal Highway Trust Fund back to the states.
WMAR TV: Douglas on the Economy / 3.26.12
"Why would Senator Cardin vote against the Keystone pipeline? It just doesn't make sense. It would bring jobs to places all over the country including Bethlehem Steel in Dundalk where 30 years ago there were over 30,000 jobs and today there are less than 2000."
Monoblogue: Douglas on Cardin, O'Malley / 3.26.12
Rich compared Ben Cardin to a brick in a wall - as the mortar is wearing away, soon the brick would drop from the wall and the remainder of the house would follow. And Douglas wasn't going to be timid in his role, either, warning "Martin O'Malley is going to be one unhappy fella" when Rich wins. "(He'll) wish he'd never heard my name," continued Douglas, because he has a "duty to speak" as a Senator. Douglas promised to be our voice and vote in the Senate. http://monoblogue.us/2012/03/26/wcrc-meeting-march-2012/
Pocomoke Public Eye: Douglas on Cardin re: North Korea / 3.26.12

Monoblogue: Controversy Erupts in U.S. Senate Race / 3.23.12
It's likely he's hammering incumbent Ben Cardin on his lack of support for the DeMint amendment to lower the federal gasoline tax and begin devolving the federal program to states, or Cardin's reluctance to decry the "Annapolis tax-a-thon," as Rich called it in a recent statement. http://monoblogue.us/2012/03/23/controversy-erupts-in-u-s-senate-race/
