Time to Go, Marty (Letter to the Editor (ABQ Journal))
Current mood:
awakeFrom: Mike Blessing To: Albuquerque Journal BCC: mikewb1971 @ Yahoo!, KCUF Media @ Yahoo! Date: Tuesday, 21 July 2009 at 3:35 PM (MST) Subject: Time to Go, Marty
While skimming the online version of the Journal, I noticed the recent clip about the upcoming mayoral race, in which both Richard Berry and Richard Romero promised to stick to the now-overturned two-term limit for mayors.
I note that the two-term rule was struck down by a court decision after a request from the current incumbent, who is on his second term[1].
That incumbent also stated twice, both before and after being re-elected in 2005, that he would stick to the two-term limit.
If We the People can't trust him on this, why should we trust him on anything else?

About Vilsack's Pollyanna Piece (Letter to the editor (ABQ Journal))
Current mood: awakeFrom: Mike Blessing To: Albuquerque Journal BCC: mikewb1971 @ Yahoo!, KCUF Media @ Yahoo! Date: Tuesday, 21 July 2009 at 3:25 PM (MST) Subject: About Vilsack's Pollyanna Piece
Upon reading Secretary Vilsack's op-ed piece in yesterday's Journal, I noticed two glaring omissions on the Secretary's part.
The first is that with every one of those "dollars" (really Federal Reserve Notes or "FRNs" that comes to New Mexico from Washington DC, also comes federal regulations on how the states are to spend that cash. This is what Washington does with highway money -- "If you want your tax money back to spend on highways in your state, you have to agree to our conditions on how you spend it, and our conditions for anything related to those projects."
Which brings me to the second point -- the money in Obama's programs was taxed away from productive Americans, who could grow the economy in an organic, sustainable manner by spending it themselves. How would they spend it? Let's see -- providing basic necessities for themselves and their families, donating to charities, and starting their own businesses are just three ways that they could contribute to the real recovery effort.

[ABQ Tea Party] HR 615
Current mood:
coolCalling all Tea Partiers!
H.Res 615 is in congress. This resolution states that all members of congress will join any Public Health Care Insurance Plan that they create. We are urging you to call your Congressman and ask him to co-sign this resolution and you want to know if he does or doesn't. If he does not co-sign you want to know how he votes when it comes to the floor. It is most likely that this resolution will not make it to the floor, but we need to let them know that we know it exists and that we are watching. If a Public Health Care Plan is good for us then it should be good for them.
Congressman Martin Heinrich: 202-225-6316 / 505-346-6781[1]
Congressman Harry Teague: 202-225-2365 / Teague's offices in the district[1]
Congressman Ben Ray Lujan: 202-225-6190 / Lujan's offices in the district
