Dear Friends,
I am excited about this campaign for this Senate seat and the other campaigns that are taking place across the state of New Mexico. There is much work to be done and I need your help to make this an effective Senate Seat for the people of Colfax, Northern Curry, Harding, Quay, Western San Miguel, Northern Taos and Union counties and also the rest of New Mexico. Yes, this is the largest state Senate district in area in New Mexico. Clint Hardin narrowly won his seat by approximately 30 votes last time and that was on the coat tales of President Bushâ��s reelection. Read More »

The Oct. 21 Sacramento Bee cited a study by Sylvia Ann Hewlett, author of Off Ramps and On Ramps, which concluded that 93 percent of highly qualified, educated women want to go back to work after raising children. Of these, 75% actually find a job and only 40% return to full time work.
Our society is educating women, but not utilizing their skills. If employment discrimination against women and older workers is not stopped, we will have a generation of women going into old age in poverty in need of social services from the government. The government has two choices: stop discrimination and put women to work in the fields they are educated in or have a massive poverty problem on its hands.

In America we have a tradition that if something isnâ��t happening as we would like it, the solution is that we or someone is just not working hard enough. The good old Puritan work ethic, idle hands are the Devilâ��s workshop, etc, etc. I am as guilty as anyone of living this dream even if deep inside something doesnâ��t seem quite right, like my blood pressure, cholesterol etc. etc. About twenty years (tears) ago when I was a Stock Broker I was told â��donâ��t work hard, work smartâ��. When you are working on commission no one cares if you take a 2 hour lunch, a 4 day weekend or an extended vacation as long as youâ��re raking in the cash. However, if you are not raking in that cash you are fired. Now, I am thinking, I could learn something from religion, philosophy, our ancient ancestors and native tradition. That something is balance. Read More »

Native American Right to Vote Day
First Americans were last to vote in Arizona
By Joshua Lavar Butler
FLAGSTAFF, AZ - The Native American Democrats of Northern Arizona (NADNA) celebrated the Native American Right to Vote Day on Saturday - July 14 with a morning honor prayer by James Peshlakai, a 2-mile honor walk at Buffalo Park, and an open-house at the Coconino County Democratic Party (CCDEM) headquarters in Flagstaff.
It's been nearly 60-years since Native Americans gained the right to vote here in the United States (U.S). On June 26, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano signed a proclamation to establish July 15 as the Native American Right to Vote Day. It was on this day in 1948 that the Arizona Supreme Court overruled a 20-year precedent and extended voting rights to all Native Americans in Arizona.
Peter Porter of the Gila River Indian Community, Frank Harrison and Harry Austin of the Ft. McDowell Yavapai Nation were three key individuals that made it possible for Native Americans to vote in Arizona. "These individuals had the courage to fight and bring justice to Arizona natives," said Arista La Russo, Democratic Party Tribal Outreach Director. "We need to encourage our Native people to register to vote and to be part of the political process."

It is time for we the people to take ownership of our party's debates. We have got to get Gravel out of there. Hillary has to put an end to the pink and yellow suits and dress like a professional business person. (Women do not go to work as teachers, nurse practitioners, etc. every day wearing those garish pink and yellow suits, so stop it Hillary! and start presenting a professional image.) We have got to get Kucinich to stop putting down the other candidates. If Biden wants to be taken seriously as a President he has got to stop swaggering and stand up straight like a leader. Richardson needs to memirize his lines. Edwards needs to stop attacking Hillary's jacket on TV. The candidates have to start challenging the CNN announcers and stop letting them control things. The candidates need to stick to the issues and to present themselves with the best decorum. There have to be ground rules that keep some candidates from being excluded. There has to be some basic decorum or we will lose in November. The Democrats are right on the issues. The candidates are failing in the area of presentation. To win the elections, moderate Republicans and independents will have to switch sides and vote Democratic. This means attracting administrative assistants, HR managers, accountants, store owners. That means that the debates have to demonstrate at the very least the demeanor that is expected by the average working person at a school, hospital or company every day. If this doesn't happen, the Democrats will lose in 2008. Giuliani is a disaster in foreign policy but he knows how to present himself.

Our President is out of control! By claiming executive privilege again and blocking valuable information he is obstructing justice in the tradition of the Nixon Administration. As an historian I can plainly say without equivocation that under this administration there has been more obstruction of justice, Constitutional violations, more debt, deplorable military strategy etc. etc. than in any other administration in our history. George Bush makes the worst President we ever had look like a winner. Read More »
The Current state of the US Congress appears to be a state of retreat. Granted, I do not have the inside tract. However, with a 27% approval rating I believe it
is high time we started fighting fire with fire. The President of the United States in his arrogance is telling Congress to "bring it on" like he did our enemy. I say it is time to take him on by every legal means possible. It is what the American people desire. Read More »

Education is the sustenance of life and freedom. It is the very means by which our ancestors and we survive from day to day; and beyond survival to seek out and achieve our dreams and aspirations.
Education is the dissemination of knowledge and the leading of others to find the truth and understanding. It is the means by which we as a people progress and strive to improve our lives and change our way of life if need be. Read More »

. . . it was a message to the Bush Administration: End the war NOW! Even the newly elected Democratic majority in both houses of Congress appear to be as deaf to the people's voices as the Bush Administration.
What will it take for members of Congress to listen to the people? Do we all have to re-register as "Green" for the Democrats to get the message? Stop compromising! The first funding bill, which Bush vetoed, was ALREADY a compromise, falling somewhere between what Bush wanted and what the people wanted. Now that it's been vetoed, the Dems were quick to compromise to a point somewhere between Bush's hard line and the first compromise. Every compromise brings Congress closer to becoming exactly what it was under the Republicans . . . a rubberstamp to Bush's whims.
What should have happened is for Congress to simply resubmit the original spending bill . . . the first compromise . . . back to Bush, over and over again until he had no choice but to sign it.
Democrats in Congress need to grow a spine!!!!
