ObamaCare is called the "Affordable Care Act," yet our office has heard from many individuals and families whose premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket costs are rising. Seems like perhaps the name of the act was as much of a failure as the enrollment and implementation has been so far.

In honor of Thanksgiving, we want to say a special "thank you” to Congressman Steve Pearce, the lone Republican representing New Mexicans in D.C. As he always has, he has spent the past year providing dedicated service and representation to constituents in our Second Congressional District. He has traveled overseas to visit with our troops, has held numerous town hall meetings to hear from constituents, has met with veterans’ groups, and has been accessible and responsive. We extend our gratitude to him and his staff for their commitment to the kind of leadership New Mexicans deserve.

Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman John Billingsley issued the following statement in regards to the passing of Former RPNM Chairman and former Republican gubernatorial candidate John Dendahl:
"The officers and staff at RPNM join me in expressing our deepest condolences to the family and friends of John Dendahl. They will be in our thoughts and prayers, as we honor his memory. As a longtime fighter for Republican principles, there is no doubt that he left his mark not only on the Republican Party of New Mexico, but on the entire state as well.”
"Dendahl advocated for conservative principles and was a strong leader for our Party during his time of service. As a former athlete and competitor, he carried his competitive spirit throughout his leadership role with the Party, working hard to make positive changes. He was known for boldly expressing his convictions and standing for what he believed was right. During his time as Chairman, he worked hard to combat the corruption that existed within individuals within our state government at the time, successfully lead and grew the Party, and left a lasting legacy here in the state of New Mexico.”

BREGMAN IS UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS
Democratic Party of New Mexico Desperately Reaching and Making False Claims
ALBUQUERQUE -.Democratic Party of New Mexico Chairman Sam Bregman recently released an article on Janice Arnold-Jones, candidate for Albuquerque City Council District 7, that is misleading and dangerously contorts the truth. In the article, Bregman attempts to tie Arnold-Jones to what is happening on the national political scene.
"I think it’s safe to say that everyone is tired of Bregman’s shams,” said RPNM Chairman John Billingsley."It is obvious that he and the Democratic Party are resorting to desperate tactics to win this nonpartisan election. The record must be set straight, because the voters in Albuquerque deserve better than Bregman’s shameless attempts to pry attention away from the real issues. The Albuquerque City Council race cannot be equated to the issues of the national government, and the fact of the matter is that Janice Arnold-Jones is the more qualified candidate for the leadership position for the City of Albuquerque. She has exhibited great leadership for the people of Albuquerque—first in the State House, and recently as a City Councilor—and she has always stood for the needs of her constituents.”
"Bregman’s crooked spin and reaching attempts are laughable, until you consider the sad reality that this is what he hopes to implant in the minds of Albuquerque voters,” continued Billingsley."We are proud of the work that Janice Arnold-Jones did at the State Legislature previously and on Albuquerque’s City Council over the past seven months. We are confident that voters will make the right choice in this runoff election. In fact, in a three candidate race, Janice was only 77 votes shy of going over the 50% mark. That is a reflection of her hard work and her commitment to service the citizens of Albuquerque.”

NEW MEXICO DEMOCRAT LAWMAKERS LEAVE WIPP OUT OF REQUEST
Congressman Pearce Fighting for Pay Protection for Labs and WIPP
ALBUQUERQUE - Today, Congressman Steve Pearce sent a letter to the U.S. Secretary of Energy, requesting that he protect the pay for employees at New Mexico’s labs—both Los Alamos National Labs and Sandia National Labs—and the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). The Democrats from New Mexico’s Congressional Delegation also sent out a letter, but noticeably missing in this letter was the mention of WIPP.
"The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad is incredibly important to our state, and I find it alarming that the Democrats did not feel the need to include it in their combined letter,” said RPNM Chairman John Billingsley."Once again, we see Congressman Steve Pearce stepping forward and taking the lead to help prevent damage to communities and to families across New Mexico.”
"Additionally, it is interesting that U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich recently endorsed Democrat Roxanne Lara for Congress in New Mexico’s Second Congressional District, a seat currently held by U.S. Congressman Steve Pearce,” continued Billingsley. "Lara, who is from Carlsbad, is being endorsed by someone who either does not know enough—or does not care enough—about New Mexico to request protection of pay for those at WIPP. WIPP is vital to our state, and we are thankful for the accountable and thorough leadership that Pearce provides and know that he is the clear choice to continue representing our Second Congressional District.”

DEMOCRATS STAY ON A SINKING SHIP
ALBUQUERQUE - Today, portions of the Federal government are shutdown, due to the Senate Democrats’ refusal to find common ground on delaying, limiting, or defunding ObamaCare. Additionally, today, ObamaCare enrollment begins. Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman, John Billingsley, released the following statement regarding today’s events:
"It is a shame to see President Obama and Democrats in the Senate stubbornly stick to implementing something that even they likely know is bad policy. The effects of ObamaCare will be disastrous to our healthcare system and to families across the nation. They clearly showed faulty leadership in making the funding of ObamaCare a priority over funding the Federal government. We commend Republicans in the House of Representatives—and those who stood their ground in the Senate—who fought for the well being of the American public."
"Unfortunately, there will likely be lasting effects of this government shutdown, just as there will be adverse effects from moving forward with a government healthcare takeover. It is time for Democrats in Washington to leave behind their rhetoric, stop hiding behind Party lines, and vote for the good of all Americans.”

Even Warren Buffett has jumped ship on supporting ObamaCare. According to Buffett,"what we have now is untenable over time.” (See the story here: www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/warren-buffett-scrap-....html)
It is unworkable, and even the President’s most ardent supporters are admitting as much. In light of this, we have to ask why some of New Mexico’s leaders—like Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, Rep. Lujan, Sen. Udall, and Sen. Heinrich—are still on board with this disastrous policy.

"We take time today to remember and honor the victims and to pray for those who are without fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and children because of the unprovoked and shocking attacks against America twelve years ago. We also extend our gratitude and recognition to those heroes who stepped up in the days and weeks that followed.”
"While the date September 11th will always be a day of remembrance for America, we are grateful to live in a nation of such extraordinary strength, where we can overcome great adversity and stand in unity.”

Obama’s Lack of Leadership and Broken Promises
ALBUQUERQUE – Today, Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman John Billingsley issued the following statement in response to President Barack Obama’s speech on potential U.S. military involvement in Syria:
"Once again, President Obama’s botched responses on foreign policy matters are disappointing and contradictory. Although he promised to strengthen our image in the world, his response to the situation in Syria has been amateurish at best. The American public overwhelmingly opposes U.S. military involvement in Syria, and tonight President Obama failed to plan out a logical and well thought plan of action.”
"It appears that he believes that this is a quick fix situation, and he gave little thought to what might happen after involving our military. Additionally, tonight he failed to persuade us that this is a good idea. Instead, he merely asked for a pause on action that is already unwanted by many and attempted to convince all that his unsteady leadership is on the right course.”
"We can chalk up the President’s handling of this situation to nothing more than a lack of leadership and more broken promises, and we are calling on the White House for credible leadership on this and other foreign policy situations. I firmly stand behind U.S. Congressman Steve Pearce and the numerous New Mexicans who have contacted our office, expressing their opposition to U.S. military involvement in Syria.”

130% Increase
YOU, YOUR CHILDREN, YOUR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS WILL BE HIT HARDEST BY OBAMACARE
ALBUQUERQUE - A study performed by the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research revealed that New Mexico will face the highest rate increases IN THE COUNTRY at 130 percent. (See the article here).
"ObamaCare has been touted by progressives in Congress as a way to ensure that all can have access to ‘affordable’ healthcare, but the reality is that it will hit New Mexico families harder than any other state in our great country,” said RPNM Chairman John Billingsley."Since its inception, we have stood in opposition to this sweeping government mandate, and in the light of this new study, it is impossible to understand how our elected officials like Senator Udall, Senator Heinrich, Congressman Lujan, and Congresswoman Lujan Grisham could continue to support a flawed program that will destroy healthcare coverage for so many people here in New Mexico.”
"The only real option is repeal,” continued Billingsley."ObamaCare’s full implementation will not only destroy our jobs and stick hard working New Mexicans with a 130% increase in their current health insurance rates, but it also takes away patient choice. The more we find out about this disastrous legislation, the clearer it becomes that it is devastating and dangerous policy to all.”

Dangerous Candidate Choices Wertheim Advocating Diminishing Permanent Fund
According to the Albuquerque Journal, John Wertheim—former Chairman of the Democratic Party of New Mexico—has announced that he plans to run for State Treasurer. The Journal article says that,"if elected, he would seek to use the Treasurer’s Office to improve the state’s economy, in part by pushing for a portion of the state’s permanent funds to be used for early childhood education.” (See article here: www.abqjournal.com/253858/news/private-fundraisers....html)
The notion of raiding the permanent fund for education funding is not a new concept, but it is a flawed one. This past session, Democrats voted for a similar measure, and it is more of the same. Instead of looking for a quick-fix and throwing money at a problem, we must look at the actual source of the problem and begin to fix the broken education system. Stop-gap fixes are not the answer; we need long-term solutions.
Governing without a long-term view and depleting the permanent fund would set a dangerous precedent for the future of our state. Additionally, such decisions are to be made by our Legislative body, and Wertheim's statement on the issue is out of place and is nothing more than a political ploy. Our state needs strong, conservative leaders—not those who simply choose to throw money at problems and hope they will go away in time.

Missed Deadlines Added to List of ObamaCare Failures
ALBUQUERQUE - The Obama Administration has missed half of the deadlines set on ObamaCare. According to Fox News, there were 82 self-imposed deadlines within the Affordable Care Act, and the Administration has missed 41 of them. (Read more here: www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/08/20/administration...EIXo5)
"Since its inception, we have continually fought against ObamaCare, as we know that it is bad policy and that it is nothing but a looming failure that will actually hurt more than it will help,” said RPNM Chairman John Billingsley."The fact that deadlines continue to be missed—coupled with the Administration’s delayed implementations—it is glaringly obvious that even those who first supported and pushed this healthcare takeover realize its huge potential for failure.”
"As we have said before, ObamaCare is disastrous, and we must work in upcoming elections to elect leaders who care enough about New Mexicans to repeal this legislation,” continued Billingsley.

Pearce Traveling CD 2, Talking with Constituents Throughout August
ALBUQUERQUE - The U.S. House of Representatives is on August Recess. During this time period, Congressman Steve Pearce has traveled New Mexico’s Second Congressional District, holding town hall meetings and talking with constituents.
According to an Albuquerque Journal article by Michael Coleman, Congresswoman Michelle Lujan Grisham has held one town hall type meeting this August, as has Congressman Ben Ray Lujan, while Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich have engaged in smaller meetings (see article here: www.abqjournal.com/249152/politics/nm-voters-expec....html). Congressman Pearce has five town hall meetings during the month of August and hosted a women’s forum in Las Cruces last week—along with many roundtables and constituent visits.
"Congressman Steve Pearce always utilizes the month of August to listen to the needs of his constituents and keep them informed on what is happening in D.C.,” said RPNM Chairman John Billingsley."As the New Mexico delegation’s only Republican, we are proud of the work that he continues to do. He is an active and hardworking member of Congress, and we appreciate his dedication to serving New Mexicans.”
"It’s a shame that the rest of the delegation does not follow this example of accountable leadership,” continued Billingsley."We definitely need more leaders like Congressman Pearce.”

RPNM STANDS BY RNC LETTER TO NBC, CNN
ALBUQUERQUE – NBC and CNN have announced their plans to produce films celebrating the life of Hillary Clinton. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus wrote a letter to the networks, calling for them to cancel their plans to produce the films. Otherwise, Priebus wrote, the Republican National Committee will not partner with the networks for upcoming Presidential debates.
RPNM Chairman John Billingsley issued the following statement, supporting Chairman Priebus’s letter and calling for journalistic integrity:
"I stand firmly in support of Chairman Priebus and his call for journalistic ethics from NBC and CNN. It is appalling to think that these two major networks would produce such films with the 2016 elections coming up. There is little doubt that doing so would be a push to help her as a Presidential candidate, and even promote her to celebrity status.
"It is time to demand integrity from news networks and call for fair treatment, regardless of party. Journalists are intended to give fair play and leave their own politics out of the news. Yet, that is not what we have seen time and again. Unfortunately, many have used their positions to support their own agendas, and it is time for this to stop. The decision by NBC and CNN to produce these films is unacceptable. The Republican Party of New Mexico stands with Chairman Priebus, and we are thankful to have leadership who will call out those news networks that so blatantly show a bias.”

The Republican Party of New Mexico stands with Chairman Priebus, and we are thankful to have leadership who will call out those news networks that so blatantly show a bias.”

RPNM Calls Upon Pat Davis to Step Down from Albuquerque Metro Crime Stoppers
ALBUQUERUQE – The Republican Party of New Mexico calls upon Pat Davis to step down from his position with the Albuquerque Metro Crime Stoppers immediately, due to his arrest this past weekend.
"Mr. Davis has always taken it upon himself to point out perceived inadequacies in others and call for resignations for much lesser offenses, and it is time that he realizes that this is a two-way street,” said RPNM Chairman John Billingsley."If he chooses not to address his dangerous actions by stepping aside, his hypocrisy is unmatched.”
"It is unacceptable for one to serve in leadership for Crime Stoppers, whose role is to protect the community, and then to put others in danger by selfish actions—as Davis did this weekend,” continued Billingsley."His actions are in stark contrast to the principles and values of the organization we all respect, and he should relinquish his leadership role with the organization.”

PROGRESSNOW MISSING THE POINT…AGAIN
ALBUQUERUQE - ProgressNow New Mexico has recently criticized Congressman Steve Pearce for a flight to Egypt to visit American troops. Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman John Billingsley issued the following statement in response:
"ProgressNow’s attacks are reprehensible and senseless—and as always, misguided. It is inexcusable for ProgressNow to repeatedly miss the point and overlook the true issues at hand. The fact of the matter is that Congressman Pearce flew on a last minute flight to visit our troops. As a veteran, he knows the importance of elected officials being active and focused on our military men and women. His commitment to the trip, even after a Congressional Delegation trip fell through, should be praised, as he was making good on a promise to visit New Mexico’s troops.
"While it has been touted that none of the rest of the House delegation reported foreign travel in 2012, perhaps we should question why they did not feel a sense of duty to visit troops, instead of pointing the finger at the delegation’s sole Republican. There is no doubt that Congressman Pearce is the most active Member of the delegation, and that he is always engaged with his constituents—both those at home and those bravely serving overseas.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the fallen firefighters who lost their lives to protect communities, homes, and families in Arizona. This loss is a tragedy and a reminder of the bravery of those who serve in this manner. These same firefighters assisted with fires in Ruidoso, Jemez and others in New Mexico, where they helped save homes and lives. We express our gratitude for their continued commitment to safety and their courage, and we extend our sympathies to their friends, fellow firefighters, and families.

SANTA FE CITY COUNCIL TO VOTE ON SECOND AMENDMENT VIOLATION
ALBUQUERUQE - Santa Fe Mayor David Cross has proposed a ban on ammunition feeding devices or magazines that can hold more than ten rounds. City Councilors Patti Bushee and Ron Trujillo also signed onto the bill. (Read the full bill here: www.santafenm.gov/documentcenter/view/40772).
Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman John Billingsley issued the following statement regarding the proposed ban:
"This bill is a direct violation of the Second Amendment rights of Santa Fe citizens. The Second Amendment states plainly, ‘the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.’ Not only does this legislation clearly show Mayor Cross’s disregard for the constitutional rights of Americans, but it also displays his far-left ideas.
"While we can all agree that there are steps that should be taken to ensure the safety of our families and communities, this law does nothing to combat crime or focus on the pressing mental health issues in our society. Instead, it simply criminalizes law abiding citizens and breaches our freedoms.
"Firearms that utilize such magazines are often used for recreation and competition, as well as owned for self-defense purposes. Those freedoms should not be stripped away in an effort to succumb to the extreme progressive movement.”
Chairman Billingsley urges all concerned citizens to contact the Santa Fe City Council and express their strong opposition to the bill. The bill is scheduled for a vote on Wednesday, June 26th. The hearing will be at 7:00 p.m. at Santa Fe City Hall.

AG KING OWES NEW MEXICANS AN EXPLANATION, FAIR TREATMENT FOR ALL UNDER LAW

AG KING OWES NEW MEXICANS AN EXPLANATION, FAIR TREATMENT FOR ALL UNDER LAW
ALBUQUERQUE - In June 2012, the Republican Party of New Mexico filed a public records request for Attorney General Gary King’s emails from his private email addresses, for all documents concerning public business. AG King has repeatedly criticized Governor Martinez’ administration for certain claimed public records practices, but his office used a much different standard when they reviewed AG King’s own emails.
The Attorney General’s Office provided RPNM with a partial disclosure and redacted copy of private emails. However, during a May 17^th KNME IN FOCUS interview, Attorney General King stood behind his release of private and personal emails from Governor Susana Martinez’s private email address. (See the interview here: portal.knme.org/video/2365013770). In the interview, he denies that there was political motivation for releasing Governor Martinez’s emails and instead claims that if an elected official uses private email for any public business, all emails on the account become public record.
Following that interview, RPNM followed up with the AG’s Office to call out the inconsistencies in his interpretation of the law and again request that he release his emails (See the full email here (www.dropbox.com/s/07kq7z5fiikx726/05%2029%2013%20R...pdf?m) ). The Attorney General’s Office has since responded that those emails are not public record.
RPNM is now calling on Attorney General King to once and for all, treat all individuals the same under the law, without political purposes.
In today’s letter, RPNM Chairman John Billingsley wrote:
"Attorney General King has maintained the Governor’s private emails had to be publicly disclosed, yet he has decided to withhold his own on grounds that they are 'private.' This is completely inconsistent…
"As you must be aware, during that interview (with KNME) Attorney General King denied that his release of Governor Martinez’s emails was politically motivated, claiming instead that if any email concerned public business in any private email, all of the emails on the private account would be considered public records. This appears to be a blatant double standard…”

7 DAYS AND COUNTING PETE DINELLI STILL MUM ON WHETHER HE BROKE LAW, DELETED CITY E-MAILS
ALBUQUERQUE - One week ago today, the Republican Party of New Mexico requested the Attorney General’s office to investigate whether mayoral candidate Pete Dinelli broke the law and deleted three years of city e-mails. Many city e-mails are considered public records, and destroying public records is a fourth degree felony.
"Pete Dinelli was still employed with the city from 2006 to 2009, yet you would never guess it ,because there are no e-mail records during that time," said RPNM Spokeswoman Jamie Dickerman. "Pete Dinelli has a lot of explaining to do. We call on him to address this very important issue."
In response to a public records request, the Albuquerque City Clerk stated that they have no emails to or from Pete Dinelli's email account after August of 2006, even though Dinelli was terminated in 2009.
The issue is worsened by the fact that Pete Dinelli complained to the press about the fact that Mayor Berry was properly using his private emails to discuss political campaign efforts. Dinelli wrongly claimed that these campaign emails should have been on the city email server.

BREGMAN CONTINUING TIRED POLITICAL GAMES, IGNORING BAD WEEK FOR DEMOCRATS
Today, Democrat Party of New Mexico Chairman Sam Bregman posted on Facebook calling for Education Secretary-Designate Hanna Skandera to resign. Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman John Billingsley issued the following statement in response:
"It’s been a really bad week for Democrats, and it comes as no surprise that Bregman is attempting to change the subject. However, this is a tired ploy. The Democratic Party has continually issued the same old rhetoric on the subject, trying to avoid the fact that political games by State Senate Democrats delayed confirmation hearings.
"This comes at a time when we should all be focusing, instead, on Senator Tom Udall and his instigation of the IRS targeting conservative groups. While we will not stoop as low as Bregman and call for resignation without thorough investigation, we fully recognize the severity of his involvement and know that this is of major concern for New Mexicans. Bregman is clearly and desperately reaching for material to change topics. From Benghazi to the IRS and AP subpoenas, Democrats have many questions to answer for the American public. Transparency has not been a strong suit of Democrat leadership recently, but unfortunately for Bregman, his motives are all too transparent.”
