Call or email Andy Harris R-MD (contact information below) to urge him to stop taking donations from the NRA and work to pass commonsense gun law reforms such as (pick 1-2):
  • Closing the loophole that lets people buy guns at shows and through private sellers without background checks
  • Instituting universal background checks for ammo and gun buyers, a measure 80% of gun owners support
  • Funding evidence-based community antiviolence programs, like Ceasefire, which have been shown to reduce shootings
  • Reinstating a federal ban on the purchase of high-capacity magazines and military-style assault weapons, which is supported by at least 65% of Americans.
Get Educated on the Possible Sinclair Broadcasting/Tribune Merger
Last May the Sinclair Broadcast Group, based outside Baltimore, announced that it had struck a $3.9 billion deal to obtain dozens of local television stations by acquiring Tribune Media. This would give them control over 215 local TV stations.
Read here for more about the potential impacts of the proposed deal; and watch John Oliver’s superb 19-minute video that explains the history and what could happen.   Or watch this shorter clip that shows dozens of “news”casters reading canned scripts.
As of February 2018 this deal has not gone through.
