  • Menendez, Indicted, Should Resign From Leadership
    UPDATE 4/1, 10PM ET: Several media outlets are reporting that Menendez will step down from the leadership of SFRC and be replaced by Cardin. UPDATE 4/1: Menendez has been indicted. He should step down from the Democratic leadership immediately. === The Justice Department is preparing to file corruption charges against New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez following a 2-year investigation into allegations he accepted gifts and lavish vacations in exchange for political favors. [1] This has been long expected. In 2013 Menendez and Sen. Mitch McConnell were named by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) as the two most corrupt Senators. [2] Senator Menendez, like every other American, is entitled to a presumption of innocence when facing criminal prosecution. But he should not continue to serve in a position of leadership in the Senate while he remains under a cloud of suspicion of trading the power of his office for money. In 2008-2009, the New York Times [3], the Washington Post [4], and many Democrats [5] called for Rep. Charlie Rangel to step down from his chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee while ethics allegations against him were investigated. In March 2010, he did so. [6] Senator Menendez currently serves as Democratic leader – “ranking member” – on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Thus, for example, he has a leading role in formulating the policy of Senate Democrats regarding U.S. diplomacy with Iran. Under a cloud of suspicion for trading political favors for money, Menendez should step down from this leadership position.

  • Safe Refineries, Safe Communities
    We don't want any more workers to die. That is why our union is taking on the richest, most powerful industry in the world by fighting to secure a fair contract that will protect the health and safety of workers and communities. The oil industry's greed and bad faith bargaining has stalled efforts to improve conditions in their workplaces. The industry has refused to address serious health and safety issues that have already killed thousands of workers over the years.

  • Tell the Supreme Court: Obamacare helped me or someone I know
    King vs. Burwell was brought by a cadre of right-leaning and libertarian critics of the law who've been methodically searching for ways to undermine it. After the Supreme Court rejected arguments that the "individual mandate" was unconstitutional, they're now arguing that subsidies to help individuals afford insurance are illegal in many states. It's frankly infuriating that we're still having this debate—and mind-boggling that it's a credible threat after so many years of MoveOn members and millions of other Americans signing petitions, making calls, standing in the snow and rain to cry out for our country to ensure that EVERYONE has access to quality, affordable care. The decision on whether to uphold Obamacare is once again back in the Supreme Court's hands. Let's do what we can—including making sure that the justices hear exactly how much Obamacare has done to help people all over the country. If you or someone you know has benefited from Obamacare, join us in standing up and protecting this legislation today!

  • Consider Smoking Inside a Car with Children, Child Abuse
    Children under these circumstances have no choice or say and I consider this so unfair and disrespectful. I have three children and they feel extremely aggravated when they see their peers in the cars next to them breathing air full of poison.

  • Allow terminally ill to opt for death with dignity
    As someone with an incurable cancer I am grateful for my great doctors and new drugs that are working for me now. However, I know that at some point these drugs will stop working. When I feel that there is little time to live and the disease is causing substantial suffering, I'd like to have the option for a planned death, and I'd like the same option available to others. This has worked well in Oregon without significant problems.

  • RESCIND The New Mexico Tort Claims Act, NMSA 1978, §§ 41-4-1 to -27 (1976, as amended through 2006)
    The Tort Claims Act and after the 911 Patriot Act enables government employees to abuse citizens with claims of "public immunity" and not be held accountable for violations of rights, immunities and privileges; even "murder" in the cases of Albuquerque police. Public employees are rude, abusive and threatening, using criminal harassment and extortion against citizens with no ethics, "do as I say or I will call security or the police and have you arrested or thrown out". There is no law when certain people are deemed to be "above the law". NM needs to rescind the TCA where government employees are held accountable under law for malicious and criminal acts to citizens and the meaning of the "scope of their duties" does not include actions that violate any law or right. Owen v. City of Independence, US Supreme Court 445 US 622 (1980) No. 78-1779 “Doctrines of tort law have changed significantly over the past century, and our notions of governmental responsibility should properly reflect that evolution. The innocent individual who is harmed by an abuse of governmental authority is assured that he will be compensated for his injury. A municipality has no immunity from liability under 1983 flowing from its constitutional violations and may not assert the good faith of its officers as a defense to such liability. Section 1983 provides a private right of action against “[e]very person” acting under color of state law who imposes or causes to be imposed a deprivation of constitutional rights. Although the statute does not refer to immunities, this Court has held that the law “is to be read in harmony with general principles of tort immunities and defenses rather then in derogation of them”. In NM, Albuquerque police can do pre-meditated murder, Albuquerque employees can deny senior citizens their rights to use "public facilities" of community centers and hide under the TCA where under the TCA, public employees "are immune for any actions they performed while in the scope of their duties. As defined in the TCA, 'scope of duty' means performing any duties that a public employee is requested, required or authorized to perform by the governmental entity, regardless of the time and place of performance, and NM case law establishes that a public employee may be within the scope of authorized duty even if the employee's acts are fraudulent, intentionally malicious, or even criminal." A quote from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Tom C. Clark in Mapp V. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643, 81 S. Ct. 1684, 6 L. Ed. 2d 1081 (June 19, 1961), as follows: “Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws, or worse, its disregard of the charter of its own existence. As Mr. Justice Brandeis, dissenting, said in Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438, 485 (1928): "Our Government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. . . . If the Government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy."” (Emphasis added). RESCIND the NM Tort Claims Act as unconstitutional and in violation of equal protection and in violation of the Supremacy Clause US Constitution Article VI. Wake up NM Legislature and protect the citizens that YOU WORK FOR AS WE THE PEOPLE. The NM citizens do not exist for the use and abuse of government employees. Government employees work for WE THE PEOPLE and have no right to abuse the citizens and not be held accountable under law.

  • Video Gaming Ordinance
    Rationale: Strict regulations and parameters must be established in order to ensure the safety, traffic, and well-being of all residential neighborhoods. Our community is not opposed to overall gaming in commercial establishments, in appropriate locations, as we believe gaming can continue to be an additional source of revenue for businesses statewide. However, we firmly believe there is a need to limit the negative impact gaming will have on residential neighborhoods.
