 .
COME DANCE
AND SEND A SHOUT TO SUSANA!
.
.
There will be laptops available with folks
to help out, so you can send a message about the issue -
 what you think - directly to
Governor Susana Martinez's office.

If you can't make the dance but would
like to send the Governor your thoughts,
here's the link to the simple form from her
office website - you don't have to fill much out -
 only your name is actually required -
 if you want to personalize it with your home address,
 town, e-mail, phone, whatever - it's up to you.
There's a space for you to write your
message near the bottom - you'll see it.
. 
 
.
Or Call!  The number above is to
Governor Martinez's office, directed to
the "Constituent Services" folks, the ones
who listen and make note of your position -
opinion - wishes - whatever!  Very easy going,
nice folks - no hassle!  Business card size
"fridge magnets" identical to image above
  will be available at the dance.
.
.
We'll begin with Governor Martinez,
and move on to other "powers-that-be"
as time goes by.  These people have a moral
and legal obligation to serve the best interests
of New Mexicans - not foreign investors!

STOP THE WATER GRAB!
 "The primeval element of "water"
 is not only the embodiment of everything
 that flows, or is capable of change and alive,
but since the dawn of time,
 it has had a divine aura."
From the BRITA.net website

Update
And here's a wrap-up of how the event played out:

COULD THIS GET VIOLENT?

.
 .
Could this get violent?
Well, a lot of people will be very
surprised if it doesn't,
because they're waiting for it,
expecting it - IF some bureaucrat
in Santa Fe is stupid enough to let the
foreigners try to move ahead any further with
 this scheme.
.
No one wants violence, but it doesn't seem very
realistic to think that people are just going to
throw up their hands and walk away
 if the foreigners get bureaucratic approval
on their someday-to-come new application
to the State Water Engineer's Office
or any other route they might take
on their present application, like
the New Mexico Supreme Court.
.
Is this all an ethical question, a moral issue?
You can bet the farm it is.
Could this War, this Water War,
be called, from a Catholic outlook,
a "Just War?"
I took 16 years of Religion, Theology, and Philosophy
 in Catholic schools and universities.
  The anwer, from what little I know,
 is an absolute, unequivocal YES. 
.
 I wonder if Bruno, Vittorio, and their "investors"
 are prepared for any of this?
 Ya' think they watched any of those
"Spaghetti Westerns?"

"Fight for the Water Hole"
Frederic Remington (1861-1909)
.
"President Teddy Roosevelt championed Remington
because his art celebrated American individualism,
self-reliance, and stamina - qualities that Roosevelt...
valued highly and considered endangered.
It is no accident that Remington's Fight for the Water Hole (1903),
 a painting that celebrated the heroism and bravery
of a last stand fight for survival, appeared as a frontispiece
in the fourth volume (1904 edition) of Roosevelt's
sweeping saga, Winning of the West (1889-1896)."

STOP THE WATER GRAB!
"A man from the west will fight over three things:
water, women and gold, and usually in that order."

Senator Barry Goldwater, Arizona
(1909-1998)
