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…”

Milan Simonich wrote the following on AG Gary King's run for Governor: "Son of the late three-term governor Bruce King, Gary King lost in two previous campaigns for the state’s top office. The stench from the animal cruelty task force that King professes to know so little about will sink him for a third time."

As more information comes forward on the IRS scandal, we continue to be disappointed by the fact that New Mexico's own Senator Tom Udall was one of 7 Democrat Senators to sign a letter urging the IRS to engage in this type of political targeting and harassment. www.nationaljournal.com/congress/here-are-some-of-...30604
