President Trump Pardons Almost all January 6 Insurrectionists

by Matthew Beyers, Maryland Forward Party Board Member, speaking as himself.

As reported January 20, 2025, President Trump has pardoned almost all of the January 6 insurrectionists (Politico, MSNBC, CNN, Fox News). I find this action utterly unconscionable and I'll tell you why.

On Wednesday, February 21, 2024, our chair took some time off work to go testify at the working session of the Frederick County Board of Alderman about the Charter Review Committee Recommendations. There are 19 separate recommendations to the Board of Alderman by the Charter Review Committee, however, two were singled out for the testimony.

Maryland Forward doesn't just accept any candidate - our Board put them through a rigorous interview and then discusses if that candidate truly represents the values of the Forward Party.

Then we make them sign a pledge so we can hold them accountable for their actions and words. Candidates will set their own policies and the voters will vote for them based on their policies, but how they get there, and what they do when in office, is just as important as those policies.

We're serious about changing the way we do politics and our candidates are serious as well.

Read our Candidate Pledge and see if you agree.  

Maryland Forward came to Hagerstown on Saturday, July 8^th, for the Hagerstown Pride festival in Doubs Woods Park.
