Patricia Madrid Wants to Know What You Think

What a terrific idea. The Patricia Madrid campaign is launching a new Sound Off citizens' web survey where people can tell the candidate how they feel about the issues. Check it out and let Madrid know what issues are important to you -- the local voter.

What a perfect tool for a candidate like Madrid, who's always been known for listening to the people and representing their concerns, instead of those pushed by lobbyists and big corporate donors. More evidence that Patricia Madrid would make a responsive, open and connected representative for people who live in New Mexico's first Congressional district. Wouldn't that be a change from the dismal status quo?

Contrast Madrid's approach with that of her Republican incumbent rival, Heather Wilson, who walks in lock-step with the Bush administration day in and day out. Wilson votes repeatedly as directed by lobbyists for the oil and gas industries, the big pharmaceutical companies and other big money donors. Independent and responsive to the real needs of real New Mexicans? Not by a long shot, Heather. Fortunately, this time around we can vote for the real thing -- Patricia Madrid.
