Ask them to vote for SB642/HB285 as is and without amendments. This action is necessary because small businesses do not want us to have the right to go to state court when we face discrimination. They are saying that lawyers will be acting like ambulance chasers and suing them all of the time. Here are the four senators that you need to contact. Remember, the general number is either 410-841 plus the extension or 301-858 plus the extension.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Senator Catherine E.
