Attack On Citizens United
By Stephen D. Foster Jr. The New Mexico House joins the city councils of New York City, Albany, Missoula, Los Angeles, and several others across the country in calling for an end to Citizens United. The bill now heads for the New Mexico Senate.
Another blow has been struck against Citizens United, and this time it’s not by a city council. The New Mexico House of Representatives passed a bill on Tuesday, calling for Congress to overturn Citizens United via Constitutional Amendment. The final vote was 38-29 with one independent and one Republican joining Democrats to rebuke the controversial Supreme Court case that has allowed corporations and the super wealthy to donate unlimited amounts of money to candidates through the unfettered use of Super PACS.

Good Day to be Retired
We haven’t had a lot of snow this winter but we are going to get some today. We have about 10″ on the ground now and it’s snowing hard and supposed to snow all day.
Yee Haw!!
A great day to be retired.
