Wine Direct Shipping Bill to be Introduced this Week
Urge Your State Senator and Delegates to Co-sponsor Raskin/Hucker Bill
A wine direct shipping bill is going to be introduced this week in the Maryland General Assembly. Now we need Marylanders to take action!
Please take a few minutes to contact your state Senator and Delegates. Ask them to co-sponsor Sen. Jamie Raskin's and Del. Tom Hucker's wine direct shipping bill. This legislation will allow Marylanders to receive fine wines direct-mailed from Maryland wineries, out-of-state wineries, and retailers like wine.com. Find out who your elected officials are and how to contact them here.
In the coming weeks we will be asking you and your friends to write and meet your legislators, testify at committee hearings, and write letters-to-the-editor to support wine direct shipping in Maryland. We also need your donations for our grassroots lobbying efforts. It won't be easy taking on the powerful interest groups opposed to modernizing Maryland's wine laws, but we know our members are up to the task. We look forward to working with all of you in making wine direct shipping a reality in Maryland in 2008.
