Doug Mainwairing, cofounder of the National Capital Tea Party Patriots has a piece in the December 18 issue of the Baltimore Sun under the headline Still brewing: The tea party hasn't gone away. In the piece, Mr. Mainwairing gives a nice plug for MD CAN's activities:

Maryland conservatives organize: Newly formed in 2010, the Maryland Conservative Action Network (MD CAN) has successfully brought together and supported the efforts of grass-roots activists from all parts of the Free State. At its most recent conference last October in Annapolis, noted national and international speakers ran discussions on a wide variety of topics, including the possibility of Sharia law's influence in Maryland (Frank Gaffney, Fred and Catherine Grandy, and John Guandolo); man-made global warming as the pretense for Gov. Martin O'Malley's PlanMaryland initiative (Lord Monckton and Carroll County Commissioner Richard Rothschild); combating voter fraud (J. Christian Adams); and organizing petition drives, just to name a few. There was even a session on how to become a conservative blogger. The MD CAN network is in regular communication, giving voice to conservatives (regardless of party affiliation).
