    I say if Gov. O`Malley spend more time on the budget this year and less time pushing Gay Union on, us Tax Payers would not have to Pay for Special Session,and in the Election we will undo O`Malleys Gay Union. GOD will show O`Malley that(THAT GOD HIMSELF IS STILL IN CONTROL) and not O`Malley, PRAISE GOD, and I don`t want to hear (CHURCH and STATE) cause O`Malley started this.
    (THE STATE GOV.)
