I think they should wait as long as possible. Why give Dwyer and friends more time to stop the law?

As much as I like the idea of putting the vote off until the last minute to deny the anti-equality forces time to get the required signatures to place the law on the ballot in a referendum; I have to worry about the sell-out Dems in the House of Delegates who may very well betray us at the last minute and vote against same-sex marriage. The delay also gives the NOM criminals and homophobic members like Delegate Dwyer time to build opposition to the bill. At this point, maybe they should move for quick passage if they can’t be sure they will have enough votes later. Either way, can’t they get a whip count for the vote and figure out who is actually with us on this?

LGBT folks in Maryland — Please take note !!! NOM and Delegate Dwyer have joined forces, and NOM is pouring money into Maryland to do robo calls, send negative mailers to constituents of swing legislators, and foment hate and lies in religious communites. We must turn out with OUR CALLS and EMAILS to let elected officials know that we care, we vote and we want them to allow our families a civil marriage. Take action here: http://www.equalitymaryland.org/takeaction We are so close — but if we fail to win the vote in the House of Delegates — this opportunity will not come again for 4 years !!!
