Queen Anne's County Commissioner Eric Wargotz took time off from his own campaign for U.S. Senate in Maryland to travel to Massachusetts over the weekend to work for Scott Brown's Senate campaign. Commissioner Wargotz stated, "We felt the single most important thing we could do for our Country was to be in Massachusetts helping Scott Brown be the 41st vote against socialized medicine." Wargotz volunteered with the Brown Campaign's "Freezin' for a Reason" get-out-the-vote effort by going door-to-door in six inches of fresh snow.
"It was amazing to watch the voters take back their Senate seat. The common theme at the polls was that people were tired of being told what do and how to vote. They were tired of machine politics that produced nothing but bigger government, less choices and less freedoms," said Wargotz. "After meeting voters on their doorsteps, many asked how they could help. These were - Republicans, Independents and Democrats - who had simply had enough. I was witnessing history unfold before my eyes.
The same game-changing history is now unfolding here in Maryland. For decades, Maryland's U.S. Senate seats have been controlled by special interest groups and have been entirely unresponsive to the needs of the average Marylander. But Marylanders, much like the citizens of Massachusetts, are tired of politicians who think they "own" their seat. The two U.S. Senate seats afforded Maryland by our Constitution are owned by the citizens of Maryland. This fall, look for the citizens of Maryland to take one back!
