84,000 HOUSEHOLDS IN MARYLAND ARE ABOUT TO HAVE THEIR GAS AND ELECTRIC SHUT OFF!

Price gouging and fraudulent utility rates coupled with joblessness, cuts in wages and health care, foreclosures, evictions, and deepening hardship for workers and their families have created one of the worst crises in a century.

We need emergency action now!

The people of the State of Maryland are facing a crisis as bad as any hurricane or tornado. Under State statutes and the Baltimore City Charter—both the Governor and the Mayor can intervene to protect the people from disaster.

I join with Power 4 the People, a committee of the Bailout the People Movement, who recently marched against the big banks on Wall Street, and the Network to Stop Foreclosures & Evictions in their petition calling for the following demands:

AN IMMEDIATE MORATORIUM ON ALL SHUT OFFS!
A PEOPLES INVESTIGATION ON THE IMPACT OF UTILITY SHUT OFFS ON THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY.
CANCELLATION OF BACK BILLS FOR UNEMPLOYED WORKERS, DISABLED PEOPLE, SENIORS AND RETIRED PERSONS LIVING ON FIXED INCOMES, LOW INCOME FAMILIES AND CHILDREN, AND THOSE IN NEED OF UTILITIES FOR HEALTH CONDITIONS.
ROLL BACK RATES FOR ALL INDIVIDUAL USERS AND SMALL BUSINESSES—HEAT AND LIGHT ARE A RIGHT!

Sincerely,
(Your signature will be appended here based on the contact information you enter to the right)
