Yesterday I was reminded again why I am proud to call myself a New Mexico Democrat! When both of our US Senators, Udall & Heinrich, voted for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).
While I am glad to see ENDA pass the Senate, I am saddened knowing that the bill will go to House and never see the light of day. I think that it is just plain wrong that people may be fired because of who they love.
I am hopeful that in the next session of Congress we will see many new faces in the House that will allow us the opportunity to pass ENDA once and for all. If I am elected to the House I pledge to you that I will be an advocate for this essential legislation.
My campaign is working on showing our gratitude and appreciation to Senators Udall & Heinrich. Will join us by signing a thank you card we plan on sending to them both?
