Mrs. Martinez, please make the appropriate changes to this bill and defend the rights of New Mexicans from an out of touch President. We, your constituents, ask you to be our voice and stand for what we believe to be just and constitutional. We ask that you serve as our shield and our sword against a Federal Government that does not see clearly past the boarders of Washington D.C. "My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government." Thomas Jefferson We, as a people, understand the tragedy that occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary and the other sites where lives were lost. We offer our prayers to the families and the victims and we in no way mean to down play the loss that resulted on those fateful days. However, we do not feel that the actions of a handful of mentally disturbed individuals should be used to Infringe upon the Constitutional Rights of the Majority. "A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference." Thomas Jefferson The focus of our Presidents concerns should be primarily on mental health and responsibility we have to the afflicted to provide proper care. Also, we as a people need to practice the ability, nae, the responsibility we have to our neighbors and to our communities to keep ANY kind of weapon out of the reach of individuals with mental health and behavioral concerns. "The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government." Thomas Jefferson In closing, we, the people of this Historically Proud and Morally Powerful State of New Mexico ask you Mrs. Martinez, to stand behind us. Help us prove to the nation and all that may witness. We will not stand for injustice. We will not turn the other cheek. We come from a long and proud heritage and we will not let anyone push us around. We are the Heart of the west and the western culture. We are Cowboys and Warriors. We are Fighters and Conquistadors. We are Americans and we are proud and free and we do not need Washington! Washington needs US! STATE OF WYOMING 13LSO-0426 1 HB0104 HOUSE BILL NO. HB0104 Firearm Protection Act.
