From Friends of David R. Craig:
In Honor of Presidents’ Day
Today, I would like to extend a very special Presidents Day message to you and your family.
Sometimes, and more often than not, we the people forget what this day is really about.
It is about more than a day off or a time to go shopping. It is about the many freedoms that we enjoy in this country and why they are worth fighting for.
From the birth of our country to today, our nation’s story remains unchanged. It is the ongoing fight to preserve our freedoms.
That fight started at Bunker Hill, preserved at Gettysburg and fought for again and again in two world wars, a cold war and in skirmishes throughout a fragile peacetime.
As we pause to remember the men and women who led our country through those many years of war, peace, and prosperity, let us also remember the immortal words of President Ronald Reagan who said so eloquently:
“Freedom is never more than a generation away from extinction. We did not pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States when men were free.” President Ronald Reagan
Today, more than ever, we must pass the torch of freedom to the next generation as it was passed on to us. That is our challenge and our sacred duty.
From my family to yours, I wish you a happy Presidents Day. May God bless you, our state, and the United States of America. Thank you.
Sincerely,
David R. Craig
Harford County Executive and Republican candidate for Governor of Maryland.
Sorry Craig but you still don’t get my vote.
ps. lay off the bottle
Graig has been running for governor for over a year and finds himself behind only a month after Hogan announces his candidacy. The beginning of the end.
Yes Mr. Craig, remember the leadership of Abraham Lincoln. Use federal power to limit a state’s ‘rights’ when necessary and promote social equality and justice by passing regulations that protect the powerless. In short, the driving principles of the modern Democratic Party, ideals the Republican Party has long since shed…
I love the social justice and protecting the poor bs while the dems are currently shoveling billions to WallStreet.
17 trillion in debt George. Have to pay the piper at some point.
Larry Hogan will carry the torch.
There was never a beginning to the beginning. Craig never had a chance since he is too extreme. He’s the Republicans version of Obama. His inner circle is telling him to stick with certain principles at the expense of a majority, therefore, his ideals are colliding with the network of harford county sheriffs, harford county employees, and teachers whom are struggling to keep their heads above water as he finds the money to purchase water front properties. Craig sits and listens to hours of public comments while ignoring those who claim to be republican because he doesn’t realize that family is more important than political affiliations. Maybe we should leave copies of our voter registration cards on the stage next time. I’m glad polling shows he is behind other candidates.
Waiting…and waiting for the days of Craig to be over with in this county. The way he was treated the public employees of Harford county is disgraceful and every other public employee in the state is paying close attention to the mess he created here. It’s really sad with colleges are telling teaching applicants to stay away from this county!!
@ Waiting … The state employees are very interested indeed. They are certainly concerned about pay freezes and furloughs.

In Honor of Presidents’ Day
Today, I would like to extend a generic Presidents Day message to you and your family.
Sometimes, actually more than sometimes, we the people of the United States forget what this day is really about.
It is about more than a day off for government employees, like myself, or a time to go shopping with the money you don’t have due to being overtaxed. It is about the dwindling freedoms that we enjoy in this country and why they are worth fighting for in oil-rich third-world countries.
From the birth of our country to today, our nation’s story remains unchanged. It is the ongoing fight to preserve our freedoms. Even today, we must embrace NSA wiretapping and TSA body scanners to protect our sweet sweet freedoms.
That fight started at Bunker Hill, preserved (or persevered?) at Gettysburg, and (was) fought for again and again in two world wars, some other wars I can’t remember, a cold war, and the Global War on Terror. Support our troops!
Let’s talk about the troops. As we pause this Memorial Day to remember the men and women who led our country through those many years of war, peace, and prosperity, let us also remember the immortal words of President Ronald Reagan who said so eloquently:
“Freedom is never more than a generation away from extinction. We did not pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States when men were free.”
Once again, everyone. President Ronald Reagan. A Republican. Like me.
Today, fo’ real tho’ today, we must pass the torch of freedom to the next generation as it was passed to my fellow baby boomer generation and then dropped for the poor, minorities, women, children, immigrants, gays, unions, non-Christians, and definitely those dirty lying libs. That is your challenge and your sacred duty, but not mine.
From my PR team to yours, I wish you a happy Veterans’ Day. Save up to 65% at Mattress Discounters today only. God bless the USA and no one else. Thank you.

Part-time Harford County Executive and one of the Republican candidates for Governor of Maryland.
Craig,
Keep your self-indulgent musings to yourself. No one cares, just go away…please.
I’m confused by Craig’s actions. His press releases aren’t well received by the Dagger bloggers, yet he continually includes this site while addressing the public. I wonder if he reads the complaints?
he wasn’t a very good assistant school principal why would anyone think he’d be a good co ex or even worse a state gov? he’s all about what’s good for him and how he can do the least amount of real work to get there. go back to sleep davey .
as to “interesting says” comment above – i was in a meeting with him, davey that is, and he told us all “I never read the Dagger!” you believe him don’t you?
@ Paul. Politicians are wordsmiths, twisting things so it looks as if they care about your challenges. I don’t know if he reads the Dagger or not. But he should because people (including myself, I guess) generally fear speaking freely and are more likely to tell the truth under secret circumstances. Some take their words to extremes and attack unnecessarily, but the majority are voicing their honest opinion. He should pay attention. If he isn’t able to hear the cries of his district, he isn’t likely to hear those of the state.
Now Mr. Craig is announcing his plan to phase out income taxes in Maryland. These are nothing more than empty words and political posturing as he very well knows that he could never get such legislation through the MD. Legislature.
