The Constitution of the United States of America and all the Amendments in the NM Legislative Dumpster

Yesterday the republican dominated New Mexico House of Representatives voted to discard The Constitution of the United States of America unanimously.

The Bill goes to the New Mexico Senate where perhaps sanity will prevail.

My friend, James Post had this to say about it,

“ The Constitution is right about almost everything, and it works well. Those who want to dump it on the GOP side are almost entirely about wanting to grant power to write laws respecting their religious prejudices and taboos upon everyone, barring people from becoming Americans based on their race, religion, or ethnicity, and freeing the most wealthy from responsibility to serve the whole population -- that is, we the people -- upon whose backs their wealth is borne. ”

I like what Keith White Wolf Knodle has to say, “Let's forget this cloud of green smoke and focus on our constitutional rights they want to rewrite. Fuck that. As a pharmacy technician I'm bound by law to uphold it. So don't change it and confuse the whole western known world.” ...or just confuse the whole world

Is this just a case of repeal and replace with quien sabe que?

Bill McCamley is our NM representative from District 2, the same district as U.S. representative Steve Pearce. For the sake of transparent government, McCamley makes video reports of the legislative sessions and posts them on Face Book.

“Legislative update for Jan 28. Success in making a more fair economy, a new marijuana poll, 3 strikes, and getting rid of the US Constitution... Literally.”

A speech on the Senate floor today to address the current Central American refugee crisis.

This is a hair raising speech appealing for compassion from the American people.

Deepen your understanding on this issue so that you can make the case for compassion and radical change of our foreign policies South of our border. The crises of refugees on the border is a story told all over the world and our country is not unique. The causes of refugee migrations are well known; Those causes are profit seeking by war profiteers, population pressure, gross wealth inequality and genocide of indigenous populations. Religion and patriotism provide the veneer.
Our federal effort must change to methods for stabilization of countries rather than disruption. Observe the most stable populations on the planet and emulate. I think of Scandinavia. While many say that ideal conditions can only exist in homogenuos populations, this does not have to be the case as we continue to evolve above racism.

Almost 2/3 of the vote goes Democratic for mayor but the Republican wins in "non-partisan" mayoral election.
