CLIP (Citizens for Legitimate Investment Priorities) is an organization
dedicated to stopping the public funding of NFL stadiums in Baltimore and
Landover, Maryland.  The majority of Maryland's citizens are against these
deals!

If you agree that using public funds raised through taxes and lotteries to make
millionaire football team owners even richer is a bad idea, then WE NEED YOUR
HELP!  Don't just do it yourself, either.  Get your friends and families
involved.  It's your money....make sure it's spent correctly!

1) Call, fax, or write your Maryland state legislator.  Let him or her know
where you stand on this issue.  Let your legislator know that you don't want any
deals cut, no trading votes, no cloakroom handshakes that allow this deal to go
through.  Tell your legislator to JUST SAY NO!  Phone and fax numbers for
legislators are listed on our web page, http://maryland.multiverse.com.

2) Join us to lobby the legislature in Annapolis on Monday, March 4.  The
Maryland legislature works late on Monday evenings, so we will work the halls of
the State House to pass out flyers and to lobby legislators and tell them of our
anti-stadium position.  We're meeting in the lobby of the Lowe House Office
Building.  Plan to arrive by 6:45 pm.

3) Join us for an anti-stadium rally at the State House on Sunday, March 10 at
3:00 pm.  Senate floor action is expected to take place on the following day, so
it is KEY that we make a strong impression on Sunday, March 10, to show the
strength of our conviction, that these stadiums should not be built with public
funds.  Bring your friends, your neighbors, your family dog, BUT MAKE SURE YOU
COME!  If you can't help with any other event, make it to this one!

4) Sign the on-line petition at http://maryland.multiverse.com.  After we
tabulate the results, we will forward them to local media and Maryland
legislators.

5) Join the no-stadium Internet mailing list, where we plan strategy and
publicize upcoming anti-stadium events.  To join, send an e-mail to
no-stadium-request@world.std.com.  In the body of the message, type the word
SUBSCRIBE and nothing else.  You'll receive a confirmation message a short time
later.
