Defending and Promoting Civil Rights
Attorney General Gansler has continued his long-standing commitment to civil rights. He created the first-ever Director of Civil Rights position in the Office of the Attorney General. He set up a Working Group on Lending Practices to reform sub-prime and predatory lending practices and a Voting Irregularities Task Force to address voter suppression issues in Maryland. He also published a groundbreaking report providing guidance on taser training protocols that is being used nationally by law enforcement, and a report that assists Maryland's institutions of higher education in legally developing and maintaining diversity. He continues to work for judicial election reform that will ensure diversity of the bench. For this work, as well as his successful efforts to increase diversity both in the Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office and the Office of the Attorney General, Attorney General Gansler was awarded the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dream Keeper's Award.
For a legal opinion that clarifies the full faith and credit provided to valid out of state same-sex marriages that provided the underpinning for a recent Maryland Court of Appeals decision recognizing same-sex marriages from other states, and for being the first statewide elected official in Maryland to support marriage equality, Attorney General Gansler received the Ally for Equality Award.
So, lets put those claims to the test. Contact him and ask that he conduct an independent investigation into the events of January 12th.
