Jim Baca Keynote Speaker at Tonight's DFA-DFNM Meetup
Jim Baca stops in to say hi at our Meetup in April.
This time he's our featured speaker.
Our monthly Albuquerque DFA-Democracy for NM Meetup is set for tonight at 7:00 PM at the First Unitarian Church Social Hall at Carlisle and Comanche in Albuquerque.
Our keynote speaker will be former Albuquerque Mayor JIM BACA, who's running on the Dem ticket for State Land Commissioner. It's a very important race in terms of our state's environment and use of public lands. Baca is running hard against an incumbent Republican who's funded largely by oil and gas interests. Come meet Jim Baca and learn more about this race. You can also visit his website linked to his name above or check out his blog, Only in New Mexico. All Dems are strongly urged to donate some bucks or time to Jim's campaign.
We'll also have a short presentation from our local Communities United to Strengthen America group about their work on healthcare and retirement security, and a short report from Lynn Jacobs on her trip to this year's DFA DemocracyFest in San Diego. To join our email list or RSVP for tonight's activistiies, visit our group page at the Meetup website.

This is such an important race and that damned Lyons has so much money from the oil and gas people. Gee I wonder why?

Please make a small donation to Jim's campaign. Even a few dollars makes a big difference in a race like this. Patrick Lyons, his incumbent opponent, is bad news, owned by oil and gas. If he gets another term he'll be handing out leases like it's Christmas.
