New Mexico Legislature Information
NM Legislature Session Begins With Same Sex Marriage
The NM legislative session starts January 20th and we are on notice by the same-sex marriage supporters, they expect to win and win early. Senator McSorley is working legislators and telling them they have no worry from the Church folks, he is not aware of anyone losing their seat because of this issue. With victories in both the Senate and the House by the "new progressive" democrats the homosexual lobbyist feel they can pass the Domestic Partnership legislation within the first two weeks and claim victory by the first of February.
Since last year we have been adding to our coalition and it has grown to unprecedented size. The Catholic Dioceses of New Mexico have also joined in our opposition to this legislation. Now we need to act. I am asking all of you to ask all of your members to contact their local Senator and House member and give them this message:
"I want to thank you for representing us in Santa Fe. With the economy in the condition it's in and being short of money for the existing budget, you have a big job to do and I'll be praying for you. Another issue I know you will be faced with is Domestic Partnerships. I ask you to oppose this legislation due to the negative impact it will have on many of our community social programs...... (if they say they will vote no, then thank them and tell them you will let your church know they support the church).......(if they don't know then continue with...) In states that have passed this legislation (Massachusetts, California, Connecticut) the supporters have filed discrimination lawsuits and the courts have found the legislation to "mean" marriage and must apply the same to all couples. This results in our churches closing their adoption agencies and their couples programs. (Whatever their response, thank them and tell them you will let your church know their response.)"
We need to know your legislators response....just give us your legislator's name and oppose - support - or does not know.
