NM Coalition
Unprecedented, miraculous growth is the best way to describe
conservative participation in this year’s legislative session. There are two resources available to make
the Coalition even more effective.
While each group has committed to forwarding email alerts, we are
expecting rapid progression of critical bills through committees and floor
votes this year. Two homosexual
marriage bills are already prefiled for quick introduction during the opening
day of the session on Jan 20th.
Jonathan Wells - Tue, Jan 20th He is a leading figure in the intelligent design movement, and is
author or coauthor of "Icons of Evolution," "The Politically
Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design," and "The
Design of Life." He will be speaking the evening of Jan 20th on a
subject that directly addresses the potential limits of biological change -
the relationship between genes, development, and form. The title of his talk is "DNA Does Not Control Embryo
Development." The meeting will
be from 7-9 PM in the UNM Law School building, room 2401. http://jonathanwells.org/,

Albuquerque Right To Life will commemorate the 35th anniversary of the U. S. Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion with a luminaria memorial at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Paseo del Norte & Wyoming NE. One thousand luminaria bags will be placed near a gravesite honoring this past year’s aborted, unborn children of New Mexico. Each bag will feature five names to remember the approximately 5,000 children that were conceived but not named. A service will be held in the chapel at 5:30 pm after all the
candles have been lit that will include presentations by students who gave
their award winning speeches on the abortion issue at the Christian Heritage Speech Competition last
Nov. Please join us to honor the 5,000 unborn New Mexico children who died
last year due to abortion. For questions, please call Charlene at 345-4423. |

APS/CNM Election – Tue, Feb 3 Typically, low turnout is the name of the game for school board elections. A smaller voting body means your vote is even more significant and most of those voting have a vested interest in the outcome – students, parents, teachers, administrators, and staff. Constitutional Amendment #4 on the Nov 2008 ballot passed by an overwhelming 75% to “allow school elections to be held at the same time as non-partisan elections.” Combined elections typically get a higher turnout and a better representation of the community.
