All public offices must be staffed by equal numbers of men and women (including people identifying as such.)

Toll Brothers, a real estate developer, agreed in writing with the Brooklyn, NY community to limit the height of their luxury condo/hotel building, The Pierhouse, right next to the Brooklyn Bridge. They agreed to build only to 100ft but are now building to 130ft, blocking the view of the Brooklyn Bridge. Unfortunately, neither the Mayor nor the Governor, both of whom received large campaign contributions from Toll Brothers and/or real estate developers, has said anything to Toll Brothers about reducing the height of the building to adhere to the agreement they signed.

Human survival depends on the survival of the Arctic and the many animals, birds, insects and environments there. The responsibility to protect and defend belongs to all human beings. Education, empathy, compassion and awareness of the devastation of the Polar Caps and the drowning of Polar bears and their cubs should alert us all to the need to act NOW! In the name of humanity, the environment and the many creatures who inhabit this earth ACT NOW!

Renewable energy now! Solar and wind farms now! Biomass energy now!

The mentally ill are legally defined, if not written word then in fact, as at best 2nd class citizens. In reality, we are at most 3rd class citizens. There exists today absolutely no legal protection of any value that keeps employers and others from overt discrimination and savage harassment. Yes, there is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), but it was gutted by the US Supreme Court. That has resulted in the mentally ill being at best a fringe element in American Society, open to the most savage and obscene discrimination. We are Americans. Such blunt and outright bigotry should never be tolerated.

In 2006, my son shot his stepfather in the head, then shot his mother twice in the heart, then shot himself five days later, placing the barrel of the collapsible AK 47 between his lips after returning to my home where he had grown up. As well as the human deaths and trauma to the community, it cost tax payers of New Mexico enormous sums of money for the manhunt that ensued with SWAT teams, packs of dogs and helicopters after the initial killings took place. America has the highest rate of gun related deaths per capita of any industrialized country in the modern world. The frequency of mass killings in our country has been increasing dramatically, often involving assault weapons. Of the 30,470 firearm-related deaths in the United States in 2010, 19,392 (63.6%) were suicide deaths, and 11,078 (36.4%) homicide deaths. (National Center for Health Statistics, CDC. 2010) New Mexicans and all Americans should be supporting stricter gun laws that eliminate the availability of assault weapons in our communities. Assault weapons are designed specifically for killing human beings and should be illegal in our civilian population.
