THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS!

Your hard work and activism has paid off as Governor O’Malley’s unaffordable proposals to increase the gas tax were firmly rejected and tossed out of the 2012 Session.

This was the second time Americans for Prosperity Maryland was able to defeat an increase to the gas tax and keep another job killing policy from passing.

Americans for Prosperity Maryland members were able to make the winning difference by gathering thousands of petitions against increasing the gas tax.

This grassroots effort united Republicans, Independents, and Democrats against Governor O’Malley’s job killing policy and attack on Maryland’s working class.

Thank you to all who attended our rallies against the gas tax, made phone calls, sent emails, and took our petitions everywhere you went!

Thank you to the Democrats and Republicans who firmly stood their ground and did what was right by publicly opposing increasing the gas tax by any amount!

This was a great victory for Maryland, but the fight still is not over. Marylanders need to be aware and on call to take up the fight again against an increase to the gas tax.

Great work and onward!
