Reports from the Field: Manning the Grill
Last weekend, Governor O'Malley and Lt. Governor Brown hosted the 2nd Annual Prince George's County Community BBQ. And what a great BBQ it was! The weather was perfect, the speeches were inspiring and number of campaign signs there could have filled up all of Ravens Stadium. But while the candidates were the main attraction of the event, the real heroes of the day were the grill staff.
Back to School and Back to the Voting Booth
It's that time of year again: time for students to return to school, and time for Marylanders to cast their vote in the September primary. For the first time, beginning this Friday voters in Maryland can vote early or vote by mail for any reason. Whether its empowering Marylanders to vote or making college more affordable, the choice between Governor Martin O'Malley and Bob Ehrlich couldn't be clearer. Only one candidate - Martin O'Malley - has fought to expand opportunity, while the other has proven time and again that he is out of touch with Maryland families.

Reports from the Field
Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes of a campaign? Curious as to who makes the signs, answers the phones and orders late night pizza for everyone still in the office at 2am? Well, you are in luck! Because, today, we are starting the new "Reports from the Field" blog. Every so often, we are going to share with you inside information about what's going on at the O’Malley-Brown Campaign.
You’ll meet Sign Boss, you’ll learn how to build a field organization, put together events and get out the vote on Election Day – and you’ll get inside information about the campaign from the candidates themselves.
Today's post is about the team who is out in the field everyday working hard; the sign crew. Led by Sign Boss Cullen Hall, this crew is out 7 days a week. And like the postal service, this crew will get you your sign no matter what. The high temperatures, rain storms and sporadic weather won't stop these guys. Watch this video to learn more:

Maryland Wins Race to the Top
The results are in—and Maryland is a winner in President Obama's "Race to the Top" education grant initiative. These grants are very competitive, and only 11 states have been awarded anything to date. You need to be committed to a great public education; but you also need to address the reforms and innovations that will make us a global leader in education for the 21st Century. Watch this video of Governor O'Malley talking about our accomplishment:

Bob Ehrlich says the $3.3 billion in taxes and fees he raised as governor don't count as a tax increase. We asked Marylanders what they thought about Ehrlich's--eh, creative explanation. Watch the video to see how people reacted.

Debate
Today, O'Malley-Brown campaign manager, Tom Russell released the following statement regarding the Gubernatorial debates:
"Bob Ehrlich is losing momentum in this campaign because he represents the past and is recognized as the biggest spender in Maryland history. Governor O'Malley looks forward to a robust debate on how we continue to move Maryland forward and was the first to propose debates in April. Bob Ehrlich ignored that challenge and declined our invitation.
We will be happy to debate whoever is the Republican nominee after the primary. Our campaign has already agreed to participate in debates hosted by the Washington Post, the Baltimore Jewish Council, WJZ-TV, WMAR-TV, WTOP Radio and others. We look forward to meeting with the Ehrlich campaign should he win the Republican primary to work out the details of these debates; and a round of debates and appearances with Lt. Governor Brown and Mary Kane."
Thank You!
Thank you so much for your support.
Last week we asked for your help to raise $100,000 online before last night's midnight deadline - and you came through for Governor O'Malley and Lt. Governor Brown big time.
Not only did we meet our fundraising goal, we surpassed it and raised more than $155,000 online in just the last week.
Today, because of your hard work and commitment, our campaign is heading into the final stretch with great momentum and an impressive $6.7 million in the bank - with more than $3.3 million raised in just the past four months.
Thank you.

The transit plan that takes us somewhere
One candidate in the race for governor wants to ease traffic gridlock, create jobs, and attract more businesses to Maryland, while the other wants to turn back the clock. That's the contrast that will be on display this week, as Governor O'Malley promotes the Purple Line and talks to business owners in Montgomery County who would benefit from a new light rail line through the region.
