The Money Grubbing Government Among Us

Michael and Conrad

NMPolitics - Our nation’s founders worried that government without strong limitations, even government in a republic, could become as oppressive as King George III who inspired the American Revolution. They sought to keep government from unduly oppressing citizens. Over time, though, always for a “good cause,” government was able to grab more and more power. Government today is arguably as oppressive as it was with King George in 1776. Citizens today serve the government rather than the other way around. The authorities live regally as if they are our betters. We are just “giving units” providing the funding for their imperial authority. We have seen enormous changes in our society these past 50 years. Read full column here: News New Mexico

1,000 Attend Job Fair Hosted by Pearce

Las Cruces, NM - Yesterday, Congressman Steve Pearce hosted his first job fair in Las Cruces. Approximately fifty employers were present, and over a thousand prospective employees attended throughout the day.
“It was exciting to be a part of bringing together employers and job seekers today” said Pearce. “Jobs and job growth have been my top priority in Congress, and today’s event was one more way to find jobs for people in New Mexico. Everywhere I go, I hear from people who tell me they need jobs. Today’s event was a great success, and I look forward to more like it in the future, in other regions of southern New Mexico.”

Congressman Pearce opened the job fair with a short presentation on the importance of jobs, and by cutting a ribbon to mark the first job fair held in the new Las Cruces Convention Center.
He then spent much of the morning visiting with attendees and personally helping employers connect with job-seekers. By noon, over 700 job-hunters had already attended the event. In addition to the large number of employers present, seminars were also offered on résumé writing and job interview skills. Since returning to Congress in January, Mr. Pearce has made jobs his top priority, and he has stated that he is constantly on the lookout for new ways to help put New Mexicans to work. In light of the success of today’s event, Congressman Pearce’s office has already begun planning for future job fairs in other areas in Southern New Mexico.
