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.
