Richard Romero's campaign turned in more $5 qualifying contributions than any other campaign. His organization turned in 5,325 to be exact. The progressives, who supported President Obama, are turning out enforce to support Richard Romero for the next Mayor of Albuquerque. At present Romero had 7,000 signatures to place his name on the ballot and is now looking to turn his very well oiled organization’s eye toward acquiring another 4,000 to ensure that he will have no problem come the deadline.
I have been attending a conference downtown this week so today I walked over to the courthouse for lunch which was the closest place to get a bite to eat without taking my car and just happened to run into Judge Elizabeth Whitefield who serves on the family court. We had a very nice lunch and she is looking and sounding just great in her job on the bench. We saw Judge Bob Schwartz who thanked me for his St. Patrick Day gift bag. Please forgive me for giving them candy and toys Judge Murdoch but with a high stress job like being a judge they should be allowed to smile every once in a while and know that there are people in the voting public who appreciate all of their hard work to bring fair and balanced justice to our fair city. I am sure that both Judge Elizabeth Whitefield and Judge Bob Schwartz are performing a great service for the voting public of the City of Albuquerque and the Second District Court System.

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."
