ACT NOW: Support Common Cause NM Agenda for Ethics Reform

From Common Cause New Mexico:
The Common Cause New Mexico agenda for ethics reform at the 2006 legislative session is outlined here. As you know, this is a short session that primarily addresses state budget issues. But, because Governor Richardson has made the subject of anti-corruption a priority, right now we have a unique opportunity to help pass good ethics reform.

That's why Common Cause New Mexico has created an for the 2006 legislative session.

We believe the time is now to pass ethics reform legislation, but we need help from our members, allies and friends.  Click here to go to our action center and help us let legislators know that we need to clean up New Mexico's ethics laws:

Here's how our action center works. Go to the designated webpage and fill out the form with your name and home address. You can use the email message we've provided, or you can create your own. Once you've filled out the form and have an email message that you like, just click on the "send now" button. Your message will be sent to your representative and senator, and you will be helping to put citizen pressure on our elected officials to pass real reform legislation. It's that easy!

With your help, we can make a positive change to New Mexico's deficient campaign disclosure and reporting laws.  But, we need you to take action right now. Stay tuned to the Common Cause New Mexico website for updates about specific bills, their committee assignments, and what progress we are making with the overall reform effort.

Thank you for all that you do for democracy in New Mexico!

Sincerely,
Matt Brix, Executive Director
