Brown to attend first public DNC platform committee meeting
By Danny Reiter, PolitickerMD.com ReporterLt. Gov. Anthony Brown travels to Cleveland, Ohio tomorrow to attend the Democratic Party's first public Platform Drafting Committee meeting. Brown was named to DNC's Platform Drafting Committee in early July. Gov. Janet Napolitano (D- Ariz.) will be chairing the committee.
"Our Democratic Party has long been the party that stands with and for our veterans. Our Party won two world wars. Our Party envisioned a free and democratic Europe and made it possible with the Marshall Plan. Our Party passed the GI Bill which sent more Americans to college than had ever dreamed it possible," said Brown in a statement. "And when John McCain, George Bush and the Republican Party stood in the way of a new GI Bill for a new generation of heroes, our Party stood up for veterans and their families. I look forward to engaging in this dialogue in Cleveland about the direction our Party will take in Denver and I will work to ensure that we, as Democrats, continue to be the party that stands with and for our veterans."

Quote of the Day
In the long run, fiscal responsibility can and must be a watchword of our majority. For eight years, the administration lived by the proposition summed up by vice president Cheney, who said, 'Reagan proved deficits don't matter.' Businesses, consumers pursued that siren song to the brink of financial destruction - and some, of course, have gone over that brink. We are now experiencing the stark, painful reality that debt does indeed matter."
- House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.

Here's the
Here's the Democrat/O'Malley/Brown plan for vets in Maryland. Make an issue out of GOP treatment of vets nationally, and then take away the right to smoke in bars, increase sales tax, income tax, tobacco tax, and just about every other form of taxation on Maryland's veterans.
Good plan, Anthony. We deserve the government we elect!
