Governor Martin O'Malley (D-Maryland) is still trying to agitate from some kind of relevance in today's national politics.
He was the two-term governor of the Old Line State, where he imposed very liberal policy imaginable. He gave away just about everything that could be offered to illegal aliens. He enacted every gun control measure possible. His reign of progressive policy terror was so bad, that the western half of the state discussed possible session procedures to break away from Annapolis' tyranny.
Mad Man Marty wanted to take his progressive policy agenda and take it nationally.
He was a progressive star, right? Democratic operatives and grassroots activists would support Mary wouldn't they?
Didn't happen.
Martin O'Malley met with only prospective voter in Iowa before the caucuses, and even he wasn't sure if he wanted to vote for him
He was done as soon as the first caucus voters were cast last year in January.
He wants to seem relevant, so he's talking about ... climate change?
Give me a break!

| | Friend,
The decision this week by EPA chief Scott Pruitt to repeal the Clean Power Plan was the latest example of an Administration seemingly hellbent on taking our country backwards and recklessly putting future generations at risk.
You don't need to look any further than the extreme weather events of the past few months to know that climate change has a real human and economic toll. The Clean Power Plan was a commonsense and very moderate federal regulation to reduce carbon pollution from existing power plants. Its repeal will expose millions of Americans to dangerous pollutants from power plants, worsen climate change, and for many, affect our very ability to breathe.
And so it's up to our cities and states to fight back - to fight inaction with action. I know the power of state elected officials to make a difference on the environment. As Governor, I signed Maryland onto the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and signed the state's first climate change legislation, with a plan to cut emissions by 25% by 2020.
The attorneys-general of New York and Massachusetts have already announced plans to sue the EPA over the Clean Power Plan repeal, and we have some outstanding Governors and Mayors leading on climate protection in their own cities and states.
We can elect more this fall. Help me help others who are running in these critically important midterm elections. Together we must do everything we possibly can to ensure we have city and state officials who want to lead on climate, and not those who want to take us backward.
Yours,
Martin
