No one is lying.  The experts are clearly right.  The government always has your best interests at heart.  The news media shares nothing but the truth.  “The science” is never influenced by politics.  Masks save lives.  Lockdowns are loving.  Congregations need not gather together for worship.  Everyone who ever said a good thing about Orange Man is a bad person… a domestic terrorist, in fact. Frederick’s Forum gives you all the proof you need this week. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week’s Forum addresses the problem and then advances the case for 8 very specific things to be done by you as an individual.  These are 8 things that all people who love their family, love their neighbor, love their church, and love their country can (and should) do beginning asap. Hope exists.  Purpose for your life awaits.  You can participate in the victory. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  The Forum will cover (among other things) new laws in Maryland, changes in the local school boards of Frederick and Washington County (as well as changes among our State Delegates), and unfortunately the lots and lots of Corona Virus updates… with pretty much every story requiring citizens to awaken from our collective stupor and bravely take our lives back. The elected kings, queens, and overlords continue to tease about letting you out of the shackles with which they’ve bound you.  They claim that they are fixing things, the very things that are broken only due to the oligarchs own actions.  What’s more they are attempting to fix your things, they things THEY broke, using YOUR money and the lunch money they shook from the pockets of your friends.

Political polarization did not start with the 2016 election — it’s been gaining momentum for over 20 years. But with the rancor and divisiveness that has been on display in recent years, polarization may have reached its worst level in the United States since the Civil War. Today, many believe that their political adversaries are not simply misguided, but that they are also bad people whose ways of thinking are both dangerous and incomprehensible. As Charles Krauthammer once noted, “Conservatives think Liberals are stupid, Liberals think Conservatives are evil!” The Pew Research Center, which has been measuring political polarization in the United States since 1994, recently found that the average partisan gap has increased from 15 percentage points to 36 points. The United States is disuniting. We’re becoming two Americas angry with the other and distrusting our opposites’ basic humanity and good intentions. This degree of civic rancor threatens our democracy and it’s a trend we must reverse!

On May 28, 2019, the Frederick County Council finalized Resolution No. 19-09 establishing the Frederick County Charter Review Commission.  The Charter Review Commission was tasked to review the Charter and make recommendations for any adjustments.  On June 26, 2019, the first meeting was held.  The Commission was asked to complete their work no later than February 28, 2020.

The Council selected seven residents of Frederick County to serve as members of the Commission, including one member from each Council District.  The members of the Commission are as follows:  District 1- Paul Gilligan, District 2- Walter Olson, District 3- Stephen Slater (Chair), District 4- John Daniels (Vice Chair), District 5- Dr. April Miller, and At Large- Lisa Jarosinski and Dylan Diggs.
