Urgent Updates: Two Key Bills in Santa Fe

The sprint that is otherwise known as the New Mexico legislative session is now two-thirds done. Thank you for continuing to speak up to legislators.

Despite the Governor signing the radical abortion bill, there are critical issues that remain! Here are some of the most important – and what you can do about them:

Assisted Suicide

This dangerous bill would give the state’s approval to some suicides and, for the first time, turn our doctors into life-takers. But despite its radical nature, it has passed the House and the first Senate committee. Now it is on its way to perhaps its most critical vote – in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Will you take action to stop it?

  1. Call these three key committee members and leave a message asking them to vote NO on Assisted Suicide:
    • Sen. Bill O’Neill: (505) 397-8838
    • Sen. Daniel Ivey-Soto: (505) 397-8830
    • Sen. Joseph Cervantes: (505) 397-8820
  2. After you’ve called, take 30 seconds to send a message to the whole committee.

Recreational Pot

Consider these facts:

  • Medical marijuana is already legalized in New Mexico.
  • Possessing small personal amounts of marijuana has already been decriminalized.
  • Since Colorado legalized recreational weed, our neighboring state has seen a dramatic increase in violent crime, traffic fatalities, and marijuana hospitalizations. And usage by minors – sometimes fatal, from eating poorly regulated marijuana “candies” – has soared.

Take Action Now: Take a few moments to send a message to the entire Senate committee that is about to hear this bill.

Human Trafficking

Here is some good news: Last Friday, the Sex Offender & Human Trafficking Changes Bill passed the House nearly unanimously and will soon be heard in Senate committees. This bill makes needed changes to clamp down on the major problem of sex trafficking in New Mexico.
