Democrats of St. Mary's County Maryland

Letter from Barack Obama

Nearly six months ago, my administration took office amid the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression. At the time, we were losing, on average, 700,000 jobs a month. And many feared that our financial system was on the verge of collapse.

To Citizens of Maryland:

I'm relieved and excited. I'm relieved that April 15th has come and gone. And, I'm excited to report that e-filing is up 11% from last year! Thanks in part to increased use of e-file, my office has already issued 1,788,088 refunds to Marylanders totaling $1.8 billion.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Barbara A. Mikulski (D-Md.) issued the following statement after the Senate passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, a bill that will create millions of jobs for American workers and get the nation’s economy back on track:

With the cooperation of the members of the Southern Maryland Economic Development Association and the Southern Maryland Delegation, the Calvert, Charles and St. Mary's County Chambers of Commerce will support the 13th Annual Southern Maryland Legislative Reception on Thursday, February 26 from 7:00pm-10:00pm at Lowes Annapolis Hotel, 126 West Street, Annapolis, MD.

As the economy worsens and Election Day approaches, a conservative campaign that blames the global financial crisis on a government push to make housing more affordable to lower-class Americans has taken off on talk radio and e-mail.
