This message brought to you by our fellow patriots with the East Mountain Tea Party

At a cost of $50,000 per day to hold the Special Session in Santa Fe, there is a lot of work to be done. However, Speaker Ben Lujan and the Democrats are dragging their feet. They have met for an average of three hours per day. One day they met for 20 minutes! They do not want to pass the Agenda, including no driver's licenses for illegals and putting a stop to "social promotion" which send a child to the next grade even though they cannot do the work, so they are trying to run out the time allotted for the Special Session.

New Mexico is near to last in many categories, including education, business friendliness, high school graduation, best place to live, etc. A new report shows that New Mexico is third in the nation in paying improper unemployment benefits (30% to the tune of $104 million) and fourth in unemployment fraud. WHY? Are we just uneducated, country bumpkins that can't get our act together? NO! It is our leadership, particularly those in the Legislature in Santa Fe, who have caused many of these problems and refused to act on real solutions. It is our state, our businesses, our money, and they are accountable to us, to we the people of New Mexico.

Their actions must change!

The NM Conservative Coalition has put together a ten-step plan that Tea Parties and Patriot groups all over the state are implementing, and we ask you join us. Why should these people be in office? Let's let them know that they won't be for long if they don't change their ways now.

CALL TO ACTION

NM Conservative Coalition

1) Complain about this slow pace to the Attorney General. When confronted about their feet-dragging one legislator in the Democrat Party claimed, "we have meetings in private where the work gets done". Really? Meetings without the Republicans? What about the Open Meetings Act which requires them, BY LAW, to meet openly so the public can see what is done?
