Today, we come together as a country to celebrate the birth of America and to pay homage to the foundational principles of liberty that have united us and made us the greatest nation in the world.
On July 4th, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, establishing a nation committed to resisting governmental tyranny, upholding the principle that the government's purpose is to safeguard the rights of its people, and affirming the belief that all men are created equal, each endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, namely life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

RPNM Calls on the Congressman to Resign
MAY 30—Today, shocking revelations about New Mexico Democratic Representative Gabe Vasquez's past have surfaced in uncovered police reports that detail his use of the "N-word" to harass a former work colleague after his termination from his job due to falsifying data, domestic disturbances between him and his former girlfriend, and attempting to evade law enforcement by flushing his marijuana down the toilette which was illegal to possess at the time. This is in addition to the news that surfaced this week that the congressman had an arrest warrant executed against him in El Paso, TX in March of this year for failing to appear in court several times on charges of driving without insurance or license and disregarding a traffic control device.

Editor:
When I first ran for a seat in the New Mexico House of Representatives, I ran against a powerful Democrat. Having worked in the local Republican Party, I could see and hear the frustration across members of the community. We were all asking the same question: Are our values being respected and represented in Santa Fe? The answer was clearly, "No".
Concerned citizens united to drive change. Common sense ideas, hard work, integrity, and an excellent team challenged the status quo, and I was elected in 2010 to represent House District 55 – the first Republican and first woman to do so. Faith, family, liberty, and constitutional rights are highly valued in our community. I also value and guard these ideals daily on your behalf.
