After this week’s blogposts about the Santa Fe New Mexican censoring me out of their article on social media and New Mexico’s 2013 legislative session.  I finally have received answers which are half-satisfactory! Yesterday I explained here how the Occupy movement pestered Julie Ann Grimm after it was not included in the article, which likely had something to do with his/her lack of response to | Read More »

After the Santa Fe New Mexican printed an article last week detailing the important role which social media played in the 2013 legislative session a nice edit job by the article’s author Julie Ann Grimm was made in the online edition on Tuesday afternoon (March 19).  As can be seen here, the current edition does not include the paragraph below: Breaking the mold are the | Read More »

Monday afternoon I received an email from a reporter of the Santa Fe New Mexican.  The email read in part: I’m doing a story about the role of social media in the recent New Mexico legislative session and would like to interview the person in charge of your Twitter updates regarding NM. IF you are interested, please call me ASAP at (505) 986-3017. Thanks. Julie | Read More »

New Mexico Representative Stephen Easley (Democrat- Dist. 50) of Santa Fe has introduced a bill which is a ban on ‘assault rifles’ and high capacity magazine guns.  If signed into law the this legislation would take affect beginning in July and would be very similar to legislation enacted in New York.  The entire bill may be read below: No law shall abridge the right of the | Read More »

In New Mexico we have not only election watchers and observers, but ‘challengers’ which are generally sent out from the county political party (Republican and Democratic Party’s respectively).  Challengers have the power to speak with the election board supervisor, which is called Presiding Judge in NM, and can ‘challenge’ ballots and bring things to the polling place’s election board so they will deal with it.  | Read More »

Update: A reader brought to my attention an error.  Sandoval County also had other polling places, but these VCCs were only for the city of Rio Rancho.  Other counties listed in the VCC list had other precinct polling places as well. Rio Rancho: Election day our state had what would best be called a fiasco and massive voter suppression.  Rio Rancho which is north of | Read More »

I run into people often who say that Obama is the ‘youth choice’ and he will be the better choice for our nation’s young voters.  I find that odd enough…sure there was a lot of hype back in 2008, but many have seen reality now– for one thing they may be out of a job or under-employed!  The unemployment rate for young adults 16 to | Read More »

Voter fraud ought to be a great concern for each citizen who values the right to elect leaders in a system that is just. Our federal government officials and the mainstream media deny that it occurs and that it is a threat, but if one is truly open-minded and does research it is evident that there are problems with the current system. In 2008 rumors | Read More »

Today we learned that one of the last of the major GOP presidential candidates will soon be leaving the race. This ought to send a signal to us. If we’re not already awake it’s time for us to join. We have a candidate who will likely be our nominee. As citizens of the United States we will not allow Obama to be reelected. We are | Read More »
