Using government resources to campaign is never appropriate.

Using government resources to campaign is never appropriate.
You might get annoyed at having to read that statement three times, but I’m not repeating it for you. I’m repeating it for Senate President Pro Tem Tim Jennings, who had a staffer in his government office, which is funded by your money, send out his 2012 re-election campaign announcement on Monday.
Jennings, a Roswell Democrat, has served in the Senate since 1979, but he somehow still doesn’t get it. It’s not OK to use public money to promote your campaign. Ever.

The e-mail came from the staffer’s @nmlegis.gov address, and was signed at the end this way:
Senator Timothy Z. Jennings
Office of the President Pro Tem
Room 105, State Capitol Building
Santa Fe, NM 87501
Phone: 986-4733
Fax: 986-4409
Government staffer. Government e-mail address. Government office. Government phone number. Government fax number. There’s no question that Jennings used public money to promote his political career. Read full column here: News New Mexico
Goldman Sachs and Greece Secretly in Bed
.Papanicolaou and his predecessor, Christoforos Sardelis, revealing details for the first time of a contract that helped Greece mask its growing sovereign debt to meet European Union requirements, said the country didn’t understand what it was buying and was ill-equipped to judge the risks or costs. “The Goldman Sachs deal is a very sexy story between two sinners,” Sardelis, who oversaw the swap as head of Greece’s Public Debt Management Agency from 1999 through 2004, said in an interview.

Out on Bond Into Mayor's Office
Capitol Report New Mexico - One of the weirdest elections in the country was held in the little border town of Sunland Park on Tuesday (March 6) as a mayoral candidate who is facing charges of extortion defeated a rival who received a lapdance from a topless woman in his campaign office days before voters went to the polls.
Mayor pro tem and city council member Daniel Salinas – the extortion guy — defeated Gerardo Hernandez – the lapdance guy — 637-553 in unofficial results Tuesday night while a third candidate — Jose Luis Hernandez, who is unemployed and whose own parents had a Salinas sign posted in their home – received 66 votes. So how is a guy facing felony charges going to do his job?
“My attorney has to change some of the bond restrictions that we have right now,” Salinas told KVIA-TV Tuesday night. “It might take a couple of weeks when I hopefully can step foot in city hall.”
But this thing may not be over for a number of reasons.
First, New Mexico law forbids anyone convicted of a felony from holding elected office and Salinas is facing charges that he tried to blackmail Gerardo Hernandez into dropping out of the race.
We’ll get to that later because there are a number of other threads to this story. Read full story here: News New Mexico

Martinez Vetoes Judge's Pension Relief
The Republican governor said Tuesday the bill would require taxpayers to pay more for the retirement programs, which receive about half of their funding from court docket fees.
The bill would have increased the government's payroll pension contributions but partly offset that by shifting docket fee money to the state's main budget account, which would cover the employer's pension contributions. Read full story here: News New Mexico
Agenda 21 Revisited
 |
| Jim Harbison |
Agenda 21 is a UN developed plan purportedly about saving the environment - however it is not about conservation. it’s about control. It comprises initiatives that are as insidious as they are ambitious.
Its ideology stresses that “the rights of the people are granted by the government” which is in direct conflict with the American Constitutional concept that the “rights of the people come from God and the rights of government are established by the people”. According to Agenda 21 doctrine American sovereignty is a social injustice and is therefore unsustainable.
It has been implemented, without the approval of Congress, through Presidential Executive Orders like EO12852 and EO13575 and complemented with unchecked bureaucratic agency regulatory zeal. These agency policies have the effect of law. Using the coercive Sustainable Development zoning policies the EPA, HUD, BLM and local governments’ control, regulate, or confiscate private property to force people to move into high density multi-family urban housing complexes.

GOP Calls on Egolf to Release Tax Returns
The GOP says Egolf inherited his wealth from oil and gas corporate earnings and lives in a Santa Fe mansion and has frequently protested with the "99%" crowd.
"It's disappointing that Democrats are so determined to divide New Mexicans. But for a wealthy trust funder like Brian Egolf to act like he's part of the "Occupy Movement" is hysterical. Rep. Egolf has decided to make class warfare his signature issue, so New Mexicans deserve to see whether Brian Egolf is paying what his liberal friends define as his 'fair share' of taxes," said Republican Party of New Mexico executive director Bryan Watkins.
Watkins said Egolf preached about protecting minority voting rights, while simultaneously pushing to increase the Anglo percentage of his own district to protect himself from a Democratic primary challenge.
