Yesterday evenings monthly meeting was a pep rally for our Bernalillo County Democratic candidates. Representatives from Barack Obama for President and Tom Udall for Senate showed up to display their support to our party and the voting public.
At the event Martin Heinrich and his wife, Martin spoke of his strong support for the New G.I. Bill which would give our returning troops a chance at a good education. He does not support an endless war but he would never dream of not supporting the men and women who risk their lives everyday in a war that has no firm plan or end in sight. Growing up in West Virginia I played war games from the time I was two years old. I understand that no war can ever be won without a solid plan and a solid set of goals. I guess that President Bush never learned those lessons anywhere in his life. The major question I have on this issue is where does Sheriff Darren White stands on the New G.I. Bill? Please someone ask him or he is more then welcome to email me and let me know his answer. I have a younger brother who is a veteran and I think that it would be of great value to men like him to support their education.
We had two candidates for state senator at the pep rally. Victor Raigoza District 10 and Tim Eichenberg District 15 were at the rally. Both men are running races against republicans in their areas of our city so they need the support of democratic voters.
Chairman Brian Colon gave a very spirited speech in support of all of our candidates. His organizational skill will be of great help to all of our candidates this year. I would think that Senator Obama would want to come to New Mexico very soon to personally speak with our State Party Chairman since New Mexico is a battle ground state.
State Auditor Hector Balderas was there to show his support and spirit for our candidates. Mr. Balderas will be a valuable supporter for our candidates. He has shown that he supports people of quality and honesty.

Quotes:
Senator Edward M. Kennedy (Teddy)
"For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die."
The O'Coilean (O'Collins)
'A great host with whom it is not fortunate to contend, the battle-trooped host of the O'Coileain."
Abraham Lincoln
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
From NPR Radio
"Rosa sat so Martin could walk.
Martin walked so Obama could run.
Obama ran so our children can fly!"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new."

"Friendship is loving someone no matter what is in their past. It is accepting the fact that they are human and that they have made their share of mistakes over a life time. Trust is being able to tell your friend the most private secret knowing that they will not judge you. A life is not lived well without that one true and trusted friendship."
Mary Harris "Mother" Jones
"My job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable"
Albert Einstein
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
Will Rogers
"I don't belong to an organized party--I'm a democrat."
President John F. Kennedy, Democrat
“If by a ‘liberal’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people—their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties—someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a ‘Liberal,’ then I’m proud to say I’m a ‘Liberal.’”
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."
Lora O'Brien
"All I can do is share one person's experiences on her own path, not tell you how to walk yours. If a guru is what you are looking for, find another! If I am a teacher, it is because I am already walking the path that you, Dear Reader, may wish to be on. Although each of us must make our own way, I can put up signs at least, and make the way slightly less hazardous for those who wish to walk a similar path."
C. S. Lewis
"Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives."

1/1/10 A new year and a number of future elections to cover. The budget will be a major issue this year and we must work hard to protect the core values of our party.
