The flagship show of the Red Maryland Network, with Brian Griffiths and Greg Kline

On tonight's show:

At 8:05, Lee Havis joins us to discuss candidate recruitment in Prince George's County, as well as the candidate vetting he does as part of the organization Patriot Voting.At 8:20 James Neighbors, founder of Overpasses for Obama's Impeachment, joins us to discuss the overpass project that has been a point of contention here in Maryland.And Greg and I will go in depth into the extensive political news that's happened here in Maryland this week. Between the Don Dwyer stories, David Ferguson's abrupt resignation as GOP Executive Director, and the likelihood of Audrey Scott being the next State Senator in District 36, it's been quite a week in Maryland Politics.

We have a packed show tonight! A lot going on in the great state of Maryland this week.

We'll be discussing today's arrest of Delegate Don Dwyer and also talking to Delegate Ron George about his press release regarding the situation.

Our hot topic of the evening will be the District 36 State Senate race. Is it time to consider an amendment to the state constitution for special elections? We'll discuss it, make sure you join in and let your voice be heard!

Because we lost our BTR connection towards the end of the show, here is the COMPLETE Broadside for August 19, 2013.

Mark is on assignment, but Andrew starts off by talking about his weekend politicking, and seeing the movie "Jobs".

He then talks with Tabitha Hale from Rare.US about the "pre-emptive" lawsuit filed by Robin Thicke against the Marvin Gaye estate.  They discuss music and intellectual property, and the differences between sampling and paying "homage" to a piece.

Then Andrew is joined by Nicolee Ambrose, Republican National Committeewoman from Maryland.  She updates the Broadside listeners about what went on at the RNC's summer meeting.  Did they solve the problem with the grassroots?  What's the deal with the anti-CNN and NBC resolution?  Nicolee also talks about the technological changes coming to the GOP.

Finally, Andrew talks about his decision to pursue the vacant State Senate seat in Maryland's 36th District!

In this episode, we speak with candidate for the House of Delegates in District 32 Josh Kiracofe.  We also reprise our interview with Anne Arundel County Councilman John Grasso who is running for Anne Arundel County Executive.  This is an interview that will have people talking.

An instant classic! We discuss the Gansler/Brown kerfuffle.  Some advice to the Conservative Victory Maryland PAC that there are in fact Maryland elections in 2013 and they should help.  We end the show talking about social media, how to use it best, what annoys us (and what our friends do to annoy us) and finally how politics can change with effective use of social media.

Enjoy.

Tonight I will speak with Cathy Kelleher, President of Election Integrity Maryland regarding Monday's press release from True the Vote detailing voter fraud in the state of Maryland.
