I stand with John Locke.
This is in response to how many will move.
Our opposition may be tenacious and petty but they are not stupid.
A promise to move is not a threat, it's an offer to surrender your position.
I do not know why some here insist on adding to our disadvantages by offering to quit.
I have detailed my reasons for thinking that this line of argument foolish elsewhere.
You can disagree, but I will not debate.
What I will do is make clear that If this Bill passes the fight is only begun.
I will make it a year round effort . I will put money and time into it.
I will vote. I will be here...
Freedom is my Birthright
I will not yield it.
I will make my fellow citizens claim their birthright of freedom.
This I swear.
And I am not going anywhere.
UPDATE
Some of the replies imply that I am claiming that moving is surrender, that is not my point. It should be obvious that if you relocate for other reasons that is not the case.
Likewise you can and should fight on regardless.
This thread is to counter the " if you do I will leave " argument.
The intent is that our opposition take no comfort, and would be wise to disregard those threats, as many more of us have no such plans.
UPDATE2
I do not know why some feel the need to weaken our position by taking of moving.
If you move you are no longer in a position to vote.
This is not the proper forum for what if planing and venting about how Md is no good anyway.
Think poker. Think poker face. For the love of God our fight is hard enough we do not need to undercut our own position.
