Plea for Representation
Messages were sent today to Senator Heinrich, Senator Udall and House
Representative Ben Ray Lujan via contacts in their Constituent Office.
In light of the fact that lobbyist are said to be trying to kill HB356
before it goes to committee, kill our voice that we exercised Tuesday,
we have attempted to once again plea for federal representation.
This makes it even more crucial that we call or email all members of the Health, Government, and Indian Affairs ASAP. Don't forget your House Speaker W. Ken Martinez, who is suppose to work fairly for all New Mexicans.
People have asked for suggestions to what to say/write. Let's make it simple....
"The taxpayer's of New Mexico support House Bill 356 because the lack of protection the government has given taxpayers in dealing with Native American easements is causing great burden to our elderly and veterans who are on fixed incomes, great burden to those that are struggling in today's economy and is taking away our rights as consumers and land owners. We demand rights and a voice!"
By exercising your voice to these members, HB356 should go to committee Tuesday, Feb.11 at 8:30am. Round House, 3rd floor... room # will follow.
We'll even make it one step easier for you - here is the list of emails for you to copy and paste!

MUCH WORK AND LITTLE TIME!
In speaking with supporters of fair representation from our New Mexico legislature, we have been advised to INFORM our committee of Health, Government, and Indian Affairs that we ALL support House Bill 356 because we believe the impacts of astronomical Native American easement agreements hurt ALL consumers and ALL New Mexicans.
The taxpayers want fair representation and consideration, and since we cannot afford Lobbyist, the next best thing is to call each and every one of the committee members before Tuesday (Feb 11). Leave a message and tell them just that! You can also email them but please, please DO SOMETHING to help let them know we are watching to see if our legislation works for ALL New Mexicans!
Below is a contact list with all the committee information you need including our Governor, Susana Martinez.

We want to highlight contact information of
Our community feels like we have to especially contact Speaker Martinez to let him know we want fair and equal representation in our legislature.
The pendulum has swung way over people.
The
taxpayers are now the unrepresented and the disadvantaged in New Mexico.
Everyone that attended last Tuesday's meeting at the Round House is
aware that the Native Americans are not only well represented
but hold many legislative and committee positions. We hope these
Representatives can be unbiased and held accountable if in a position
that is conflict of interest.

NEXT STEP! HOUSE BILL 365
Yesterday
we filled Room 309 in the Round House and the Business and Industry
Committee Chair, Representative Debbie Rodella, from Espanola allowed
the people to speak! Thank you Representative Rodella!
The Memorial was supported by all members except Representative Georgene Louis from Acoma Pueblo who was also appointed in 2007 by Governor Bill Richardson as State Gaming Representative. If you would like to inform yourself of who your legislature representatives are or what committees they sit on, please go to: http://www.nmlegis.gov/
The people were heard and we received additional support from some of other members on the committee. As a result, Representative Carl Trujillo was encouraged to submit legislation to help ALL people dealing with high utility cost that are caused by astronomical Native American easements.
That legislation was introduced today. House Speaker W. Ken Martinez placed our bill with the Health, Government, & Indian Affairs Committee, chaired by Representative James Roger Madalena from Jemez Pueblo.
Time and location to follow. We need to fill the room once more!

Underdog 101: One step at a time!
Speaker W. Ken Martinez, please include in your NM Dem's album
this photo of today's
standing-room-only support of State Representative Carl Trujillo's memorial.
The people supported awareness on the need for assistance on the allocation and recovery of access fees, charges, and trespass fines paid by the Electrical Distribution Cooperatives to any Native American Government Entity and to increase awareness of recent developments in Native American access agreements affecting the cooperatives' ability to provide electricity at a fair cost to the all consumers.
We know the memorial is not a bill and want to see follow up legislation. The taxpayers of these communities are hoping that you as the Speaker of the House are supportive of ALL New Mexico citizens!
