URGENT Call to Action! OPPOSE Emergency Legislation HB650 Which Grants Unprecedented and Unconstitutional Executive Power
UPDATE 3/18/2020: HB650 IS DEAD!
Thank you Maryland citizens and heroes of the legislature, Delegates Cox, Hartman, and Parrott!
URGENT! CALL TO ACTION: TUESDAY 3/17/2020
HB650 – The State Government – Emergency Management – Governor Declarations Bill – Violates the Constitution and Citizens’ Fundamental Rights!
HB650, the State Government – Emergency Management – Governor Declarations bill, is a broadly unprecedented and dangerous bill which would allow the following:
-
Permanent seizure of any and all personal property, including homes and possessions, without due process or notice
-
Executive authority to supersede local jurisdictions and require the cooperation of sheriffs, superintendents, etc. for any action deemed necessary
-
Suspension of the effect of any statute, rule, or regulation of any agency of the state or of a jurisdiction that the Governor deems unnecessary or counter-productive
-
Compulsory evacuation of all or part of the population from any emergency area, specifying the mode of transportation used to force-evacuate citizens (Current law allows for compelled evacuation but does not specify that the state may confiscate private vehicles)
-
Compulsory evacuation of citizens from their homes during quarantine into a state-designated quarantine area
-
Indefinite incremental extensions of the order: termination of the order would require a joint resolution from the House and Senate

This HB wreaks of Natzi tines and terrifies me. This proposal sounds much like a modern day Holocaust. It is unconstitutional and dangerous. Stand down. This takes it too far. I respectively request that this proposal be tabled. Thank you
It didn’t pass, which is good, but it tells you where this state is trying to go. I just joined your organization. I don’t do FB, so it was lucky for me you have a website!
I’m not for this
I am against this bill
Please stop your abuse against the 2 nd amendment, These actions are not going to help the problem with rightful law abiding citizenship
This bill Hb650 is totally unconstitutional, and infringes on rights
I can understand we are all worried about the US but this is just ridiculous! This is getting out of control to where it’s taking away our freedom!!
I do not believe bill HB 650 is me essay at this time! Please vote against it as it is extreme state government over reaching and not in the best interest of Marylanders!
Thank you for representing Marylanders and not greed and opportunistic politicians!
Thank you! Brian and Jami Pritchard
As a tax paying legal citizen of the United States and a resident of Maryland. I oppose HB650 and ask that it be pulled. In my opinion this bill is extremely unconstitutional and ask you all to throw this bill as far out as possible. Sincerely Keith W Cook
This is an over-reach. DO NOT PASS THIS BILL.
Permanent seizure of any and all personal property, including homes and possessions, without due process or notice
Executive authority to supersede local jurisdictions and require the cooperation of sheriffs, superintendents, etc. for any action deemed necessary
Suspension of the effect of any statute, rule, or regulation of any agency of the state or of a jurisdiction that the Governor deems unnecessary or counter-productive
Compulsory evacuation of all or part of the population from any emergency area, specifying the mode of transportation used to force-evacuate citizens (Current law allows for compelled evacuation but does not specify that the state may confiscate private vehicles)
Compulsory evacuation of citizens from their homes during quarantine into a state-designated quarantine area
Indefinite incremental extensions of the order: termination of the order would require a joint resolution from the House and Senate
This bill needs to be opposed in every way. This is nothing but an attempt by the Maryland Government to circumvent the constitution.
My rights are not yours to vote on period
Oppose bill Hb650. And hb53.
God does not want you to kill or steal what is rightfully not yours..
Oppose. HB650
What? As far as I know this is still a free country. The people run the country not the government.
Government is overstepping it’s reach. Remember that the people run this country not the Government. Things are getting very concerning.
PLEASE do not infringe upon our rights just because you are fearful… think this through logically and remember we are a Country based on freedom. We voted you in to represent us NOT to own us.
I oppose the HB650. This is a violation of rights and freedom. You are implementing further panic.
I oppose HB650. This is definitely Marshall Law enacted and will manifest many ills to this societies and families.
Are you serious? Do these new laws apply to the elected officials? I am against HB650. I EXPECT MY ELECTED PEOPLE TO WATCH MY BACK NOT TAKE MY RIGHTS.
Do NOT support a bill which takes away our rights to independent thought and living .
FIND another way.
Government Interference out of fear of the people is not the way and it is the same as asking a woman for sex when she fears loss of job etc.
It is taking advantage .
This is still a country of , by and for the PEOPLE. Either you vote to HB 650 or the People will vote you out of
office the next election.
This is America, not Red China! This bill is unconstitutional !
You guys know that this bill doesn’t really allow for any of the things you claim it does, don’t you? Seriously, this Bill has nothing to do with any of the things stated above. You are all being scammed.
Thank you for your comment. The bill would absolutely have allowed the overreach described in the call to action, and the fact that this language was apart from the primary bulk of the bill made it all the more important to defeat. Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts!
the garden lawn that we have at home is always fertilized with organic stuffs that is why they are very healthy,.
