IN-DEPTH: 'We Had to Take Action': New Mexico Referendum Project Aims to Rescind Six Progressive Laws Using Rights Granted in State Constitution
Epoch Times ^ | 9/16/23 | Matt McGregor

A grassroots movement is challenging six laws passed in the New Mexico state legislature that its organizers say threaten their communities, infringe upon parental rights, and compromise the election process.

“People are starting to realize that this is not the state that they grew up in,” Larry Marker, an independent oil and gas producer who is a part of the group that initiated the Referendum Project, told The Epoch Times.

The nonpartisan Referendum Project's mission is supported by Article IV, Section 1 of the state constitution, which gives citizens the right to “reserve the power to disapprove, suspend and annul any law enacted by the legislature, except general appropriation laws; laws providing for the preservation of the public peace, health or safety; for the payment of the public debt or interest thereon, or the creation or funding of the same, except as in this constitution otherwise provided; for the maintenance of the public schools or state institutions and local or special laws.”

“Progressive policies” or are they communist policies. Plandemic3 explains the latter view point. Watch and/or download it here:

New Mexico has electile dysfunction, especially in Bernalillo County, which is the center of gravity from a population standpoint.

There was always a “problem” in that county in every single election when I lived there.

Every state now has at least one county like that. The left doesn’t need to take over every county or city. Just one or two in each state. The precincts in those counties can then be used to manufacture enough ballots to change the Presidential electoral vote for those states. Those precincts can also be counted on to provide the vote totals needed to change the outcome of state-wide elections.

Once you see it happen, it can’t be unseen, and it is very obviously being done. Those are also the precincts which are always last in completing their ballot totals, usually after some have been conveniently located beneath a table, in a car trunk, or stuck away in a closet or desk drawer.

I gather that you lived in Albuquerque as well. I moved out over 20 years ago. I liked the city, blut didn’t like the taxes and the Democrats.

We lived in the ABQ metro area, but not in the city. We left in 2006 after living in the state for 12 years.

We miss hot air balloons and roasting green chiles, but not the spring dust storms and some of the social pathologies of the state.

There would be a lot continued success if more activists across the country would start leveraging their state constitutions instead of making the mistake of only relying up on the federal constitution.

““Progressive policies” or are they communist policies.”

This is a decision we need to make when it comes to wording.

From 1900-1920 was the “Progressive Era” - do we start calling that the Communist Era? Was Theodore Roosevelt the first Communist President, and Woodrow Wilson the second?

Same here. We lived in Tanoan where we build a new home in 1999 and moved there from Dayton, Ohio. We retired a second time here in Florida and are tax-free and happy with our governor. We do hope he gives up the impossible dream and let trump have a second, well-deserved term.
