Hello there, and welcome to the Maryland state group page! My name is Danielle Wilkerson, I'm the Unity08 Maryland State Director, and I manage this group. If you have any questions about this group or how to get involved, please email me and let me know.
Unity08 Groups are just like groups you may have used on Yahoo or Myspace, except our groups are only for one purpose: to revitalize our democracy by electing the next President. Politics as usual tries to divide us: these groups help us connect and unite.
You are automatically a member of your state group based on where you live. The main purpose of this group is to help to build your state’s Unity08 membership. You can post your ideas on a blog or forum. You can also share files, take or create polls, and connect with other Unity08 members.
You can also search for a local group on the main groups page. If you don’t see a group for your area, create one! Look for groups that focus on the issues or candidates you care about. You can also see the newest and most active groups. Once you’ve joined a group, you will see all of your groups in MyUnity08 under MyGroups. Join in, start a group, get connected!

Keeping in touch with what's going on in your state
The best way to keep in touch with everything that's going on locally is to edit your subscriptions by clicking on "My Subscriptions" above on the right hand column.
Then tell it you want Email Notification enabled and hit submit. Now every time someone posts a blog, forum, or an event, we'll send you an email letting you know.
If you think you're getting too much email, you can set it back to disabled at any time.
You can do this with every group you join, so make sure you're staying informed with what's going on.

Don't forget to tailgate this weekend
Come by the University of Maryland football game this weekend. Unity08 will be there, tailgating, signing people up, and collecting signatures to get on the ballot.
We'll be parked in lot 11B near Comcast Stadium starting probably around 6pm. Since parking is controlled, we're not sure exactly where we'll be, but just look for the Unity08 banner and our volunteers in Unity08 t-shirts. If you need directions, call our Lead Volunteer in charge of this shindig, Michael Gulick, at 352 - 274 - 4048.
Unity08 at University of Maryland, College Park
On Thursday we set up a table at the UMCP student union and talked to students and professors alike about the Unity08 goal of getting another choice on the ballot in 2024. After we’d manned the table for a few hours we packed up our materials and walked around the food court taking a first stab at gathering petition signatures. Lessons learned: - Don’t just wait for people to come to your table, go out and talk to them. - Students (mostly) think Unity08 is a great idea - Tacos are particularly tasty after a long afternoon of trying to fix your country.
