Welcome to the new martinomalley.com. The new site has been specifically designed give Marylanders like you better tools to speak out and have your voice heard.
Last week we were all inspired by the inauguration of our new President. Barack Obama called on us all to "pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America."
And part of our work in remaking Maryland is a renewed effort to draw on our state's greatest resource: you. Your ideas, your experience, and your common sense.
That's why we're excited to introduce new features on our web site that make it easier than ever for us to have a conversation about the issues facing our state, and for you to share your ideas about our legislative priorities. New tools allow you easily write your state and federal representatives, send letters to the editor of your local newspaper and write Governor O'Malley with your thoughts on the legislative session.
From government accountability to jobs, health care, transportation - and everything in between, on the new martinomalley.com you can post your thoughts on any issue you care about.
Governor O'Malley knows from the emails and letters he receives every day that Marylanders care deeply about our state and are looking for change. Hopefully our new website will be one more tool to help us get there.
Take a look around - and let us know what you think.
The effects of the nation's economic hardship are hitting Maryland hard. We're fighting every day to protect Maryland’s families during these tough economic times. We’re also working every day to make sure that government and its programs work for people.
