The Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 Becomes Law.

On May 22nd the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives overrode President Bush’s veto on The Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008.

A quote from Senator Jeff Bingaman on this bill, “Despite the farm bill's contribution to New Mexico's and the nation's farmers, families, children, environment, and the growing and critical biofuels industry, President Bush vetoed the bill when it reached his desk last week. I am happy to report that on May 22nd, with extensive bipartisan support the Senate passed the bill with 82 votes in favor, joining the House in overriding the President's veto and enacting the bill into law.”

This is a clear example of what having a democrat in the U.S. Senate can do for New Mexico. Just think what we could achieve with two democratic U.S. Senators.

As for the congress do we really want a congressman like Sheriff Darren White who would turn to President Bush to raise blood money for his campaign? In a few short days we will know who our candidate will be for Congressional district one and it will be up to the democratic voting public to back that person to the fullest. Now is the time to get out and help support your candidate for Congressional District One and the same can be said for Congressional Districts two and three. It is up to the voting public to turn New Mexico into a blue state in 08.
