This just in, the Impeachment resolution has just passed the New Mexico Senate Judiciary Committee, the last of three hurdles that party leaders had thrown in our way before the resolution could appear on the Senate floor for a vote. Now all eyes turn to New Mexico as its State Senate will vote on whether to impeach Bush. Here’s the running commentary from a patriot who was sitting in the Judiciary Committee and live blogging as it happened… Linda at democracyfornewmexico.com…
“Sitting here in Room 321 in the StateHouse … the good news is that all 6 [Democratic Representatives] are here today, so we have a strong majority.
We are behind aproximately 10 Bills …[7:38pm Central] Senator Ortiz y Pino is now addressing the Committee. He is opening with discussion of his video Conference with Former Congresswoman Hollzman with her expertise in the matters of impeachment. They are getting ready to show a few moments of the interview. As he covers some of her answers. …[8:06pm Central] They are now going to the proponents for the this Resolution. The People will now get to speak in support of this resolution. Each person speaking will be given 2 minutes max. They are preparing for an hour of discussion. …[8:17pm Central] Franster just spoke eloquently. She brought tears to my eyes. We have a great group of people here representing the American people. …[9:06pm Central]Currently we have Senator Adair addressing us and mispresenting what everyone said. Claiming we want impeachment for a difference of policy – HA! ya da ya da ya. He’s saying some pretty incredible things and accusations. [9:07pm Central] The Senate Committee HAS PASSED THE RESOLUTION. WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO”
Even if you’re not from New Mexico, please contact the New Mexico Senators and remind them of their obligation to uphold the Constitution in this upcoming floor vote on impeachment. Now is when we must add the pressure to get this going.
I’ve excluded from the following list, those who have already voted in favor of the bill in a subcommittee. These are therefore the ones we need to convince:

I am so proud of New Mexico…this is how a Democratic Republic works…we are still that..the American people are speaking out..all over our great country…but the loudest voice by far, (as of yet) is the Land of Enchantment. This is what keeps America strong..to unite in the common good of our people, our country and our Constitutional Laws.
Happy in Santa Fe. I”m going to wear out my dialing finger, calling those who don’t yet see the light!
Much gratitude to all those who have made this happen! I’m so proud of New Mexico!
This is great news! This is a big boost for the movement!
Woohoo!! Fuckin’ sweet news!
Sorry, yes. These are the ones to contact.
Are these names listed WHO we SHOULD contact to voice our support for this resolution to Impeach by New Mexico? Your statement is kind of confusing (excluded those who…) Thanks!
