New Mexico Watchman

Our highest government official selected to enforce the laws of the land is the Attorney General of the United State. That man is Eric Holder. The body that assesses the need for laws in the Senate is the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The Senate Judiciary Committee heard Senate Bill S 909, the Senate version of the Mathew Shepard Hate Crimes Bill on June 25, 2009. Attorney General Eric Holder testified on behalf of the Obama administration. The bill would provide funds to local police to pursue persons who are thought to have committed a “hate crime?”

Senator Jeff Sessions from Alabama ask an interesting question during these proceedings. He asked:

If a minister gives a sermon, quotes from the Bible about homosexuality and thereafter is attached by a gay activist because of what the minister said about his religious beliefs and what scriptures says about homosexuality, is the minister protected?

In other words, has the gay activist committed a “hate crime?”

Mr. Holder responded that the minister would not be protected. The bill covers only groups with a history of discrimination, namely race and sexual orientation. In other words, a hate crime can only occurred when a minority or a homosexual is involved. No other group is protected by this legislation.

The creation of a special class of citizens eradicates equal protection under the law. On the other hand, preaching on homosexuality could be a hate crime because it involves a person’s sexual orientation.

Please pray that this legislation fails and urge the Senate to vote “no.” Please call 877-851-6437 toll free or 202-225-3121 toll to express your concern. God bless you.

Dear Friends,

Please pray for the homosexual community and our politicians who find it so necessary to participate in “gay” events while at the same time avoiding and chastising the church in Santa Fe. A “gay pride” event took place in Santa Fe this weekend at the new train station. The response in the press and by politicians was markedly different from REVIVE Santa Fe, a Christian revival in Santa Fe last fall. Had the “Gay Pride” event this weekend received same response as the Christian event things would have been very different.

Instead of riding happily in the event as he did this weekend, Santa Fe Mayor David Coss would have refused to participate, canceling at the last minute with a press release chastising the homosexuals for not being “inclusive,” stating he wished to be mayor “of all the people.” In making these claims at REVIVE Santa fe and refusing to address this major Christian event, Mayor Coss had to disregarded the fact that the majority of Santa Feans (65%) profess to be Christian while a small percentage (less than 2%) are in homosexual households.

Secondly, the Lt. Governor and Lt Governor candidates would not have shown up seeking Christian voters. (They can, apparently, disregard any Christian worldview.) Current Lt. Governor and gubernatorial candidate Diane Dennish was parade marshal in last year’s event and Jerry Ortiz y Pino, a current gubernatorial candidate, was more than proud of campaigning on site. The local press would then point out that there were no Democratic candidates at the Christian event.

Thirdly, the Christian press would be up in arms demanding that our new Santa Fe train station be “smudged” to “cleanse it from those people.” Words like “bigot,” “Christianphobe,” and “liberal left wingers” would be bantered about in the New Mexico newspapers, tabloid press and in letters-to-the-editor.

None of this will happened, of course, but one can only hope that the promised change will result in equality when it comes to the Christian community’s fair participation in the press and in the public square.

God bless our community.

Same sex marriage is just the tip of the iceberg of what the homosexual agenda has in store for this country. The Senate is facing a vote on legislation entitled “Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 (H.R. 1913).” The result will be that preaching, teaching and publishing anything against homosexuality, pedophilia, cross-dressing etc., will become a federal crime.

Hate crimes are defined as, “prejudice based on the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of the victim.”

House Republicans attempted to have the sponsors of the bill define “sexual orientation.” When that failed they attempted to have pedophiles and the like excluded from hate crime protection. They refused. The legislation passed the House 249 to 175. New Mexico Representatives Ben Ray Lujan and Martin Heinrich voted for the legislation. Representative Harry Teague did not vote.

The bill can be described as a “thought control” bill making our law enforcement personnel “thought police.” Following the reading of the Miranda Rights the police may have to ask, “What were you thinking and did it have anything to do with sex?”

Then there is the matter of enforcement. Whose “actual or perceived” thoughts will be condemned? Following the passage of Proposition 8 in California, churches, especially Mormon churches, were damaged, desecrated and invaded while church members were physically assaulted. Church pastors were threatened and a white powder substance was sent to churches as intimidation. Because donors were listed in public documents, Proposition 8 donors were intimidated and some were forced to leave their employment.
No arrests were made.

Finally, the bill makes teaching and preaching parts of the Bible illegal. Homosexuality is condemned in the Bible. By the definition of this legislation, Romans 1 is hate speech. That fact is not lost on the proponents of this legislation. A pastor in Sweden was arrested and jailed on this basis of this type of legislation.

As the bill now goes to the Senate will you please pray for and urge Senators Bingaman and Udall to vote against this legislation. Contact information follows.

God bless you and God bless our country.

A well-funded, backdoor method of influencing our state legislators is again being attempted by a small minority of homosexual activists.

Every two years the Democratic Party of New Mexico meets to establish its platform. Not unexpectedly, the Democratic Party is being pressured by homosexual activists to include endorsement of same sex marriage in the party’s platform.

The Democratic State Central Committee will meet Saturday, April 25, 2009 in Albuquerque at the Albuquerque Convention Center, 401 2nd St NW, at 10:00 a.m. The Committee will be asked to include same sex marriage as a basic principle of the New Mexico Democratic Party’s beliefs and efforts. If passed, the Committee’s plank then goes to the Democratic State Convention for ratification.

Party Chairman Brian Colon is predicting passage of the same sex marriage resolution. However, Domestic Partnerships/Gay Marriage was soundly defeated just 2 months ago in the last session of the New Mexico State Legislature, in March 2009. Only one county, Bernalillo County, has approved the resolution. However, of the 436-committee members, 149 (34%) are from Albuquerque.

Please pray. Pray for the committee members and pray for Saturday’s meeting in Albuquerque. Then contact the Democratic State Headquarters and local members of the State Central Committee, thank them, and let them know that you stand in opposition to same sex marriage in New Mexico.

Thank you and God bless you.

Probably the most effective means of demonstrating that the unborn is truly a person inside its mother’s womb is the use of a SONOGRAM. Formed faces, hands, limbs and feet can be seen shortly after conception.

The sonogram, also known as ultrasound, uses a wand to send and receive sound waves that create a computerized image that shows the baby in the womb.

This technology has been used in counseling pregnant women about their yet to be born child. The “Focus on the Family” organization alone budgeted $4.2 million in 2005 to make the machines available to pregnancy clinics.

On Monday, April 6, 2009, Governor Bill Richardson signed into law the nation’s only legislation making the use of a sonogram without a license illegal. In addition, the law disallows interpretation of what’s being seen. Sonographers cannot say, for example, “It’s a boy.”

Up to now, three national organizations have administered examinations and awarded credentials on a voluntary basis. Under the new law, a new level of bureaucracy will be created. It will be an eleven-member, Governor appointed, “Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy Council.”

In addition to the educational cost of acquiring certification, there will be a $10.00 application fee followed by an initial fee of up to $150.00. That will be followed by on-going continuing education costs, plus a biennial fee of $100.00. Most medical imaging and radiation therapies, such as x-rays and radiation treatment for cancer, are regulated by the state. Sonograms up no now, have not been.

Pregnancy clinics throughout the country have used sonograms as part of an ongoing effort to save the lives of the unborn. The new state law makes delivering those services much more difficult and much more expensive.

Please continue to pray for the unborn.

God bless you this Good Friday.

Dear Friends,

Please keep our political process in prayer.

The headline in last Sunday’s Santa Fe New Mexican (April 5, 2009) read “Illegal interference sank partnership bill.” The Letters-to-the-Editor headline was a total fabrication. The “My View” article that followed mentioned neither domestic partnerships nor any illegality. The author of the article was careful to address how Christians should live, then berated those involved in the legislative process. The following are quotes from the article: “religious zealots,” “unprogressive and provocative attacks,” “blind adherence,” “blind and void of compassion,” “hypocritical, unkind, self-serving and perverse,” and “manifested in unconscionable and venomous discriminatory dictatorial agenda.”

No place in the article was there reference to the process being “illegal” or “interfered.” The fact is any individual, group or institution can and should participate in the legislative process, especially legislation that addresses the moral fiber and conscience of society.

On the same page an article by Bishop Sheehan came under the headline “Catholic Advocacy is not a Church-State issues.” The Bishop is right. It is not illegal. It is a right.

The above quoted material would probably be defended as a “freedom of speech” issue. Unless written by a Christian. Then it’s hate speech.

Dear Friends,

Senator Carlos Cisneros from Questa credits members of the Christian community for what early in the 2009 Legislative session appeared to be an inevitable endorsement of the homosexual lifestyle in New Mexico. SB 12 Domestic Partnerships was brought before Senate legislative committees as a bill to help old folks who couldn’t or wouldn’t get married. Heads of senior citizen governmental agencies and non-profits testified for the passage of the bill.

Those attending the committee hearings, however, tended to be young advocates for homosexuality. For the first time, Christians who attended these sessions out numbered those in support of the legislation.

In yesterday’s Senate hearing, seating was limited to half “for” and half “against.” As a result, those opposing the bill were required to wait in the hall for hours before being seated while those in support were allowed into the chambers immediately because their numbers were small.

Concerned Christians began arriving a little after 6:00 a.m., resulting in their section being filling shortly after 8:00 a.m. The bill was not heard until almost 4:00 p.m. The faithful had waited as much as 10 hours for the hearing and vote.

The final count on the bill was 17 Senators for and 25 Senator against.

We all want to take a very special moment and thank God for the defeat of SB 12 Domestic Partnerships. Thanks everyone for participating, and we need to thank our legislators for defeating what would have become same-sex marriage in our state.

Will you please pray for and call and/or email the following and thank them for opposing domestic partnerships in our state.

Dear Friends,

We have just heard that SB 12 Domestic Partnerships will not be heard by the Senate today, Monday.

Anticipating legislation is a little like waiting to be asked to the high school dance. You know the captain of the football team, in this case, Bill Richardson and the head cheerleader, Diane Denish, are going and have all the details. The rest of us ‘gotta wait.

We have received word the ACLU and Equality New Mexico have turned the focus away from Same Sex Marriage to helping old folks. My mother, a life long church goer at 93 year old senior, was called and told to call her senator in support of SB 12 Domestic Partnerships.

We are faced with a deceptive and manipulative force that can be turned away through prayer and our efforts.

Please join us at the State Capitol today as we address SB 12 Domestic Partnerships.

SB 12 Domestic Partners Right and Responsibilities: Sponsor: Sen. Cisco McSorley
· What the bill does:
Gives all the legal benefits of marriage (including custody of children, pension and inheritance benefits – changing over 700 marriage NM laws) to any two people who apply. Applies to both opposite-sex and same-sex couples. Partnership would be ended only by divorce. This legislation has always led to gay marriage.

· Where is it now:
Bill may be heard today in the Senate.

Santa Fe Mayor Coss Craves City Hall Gay Marriage

If homosexuality were a religion, the homosexual Eros would be god. Every effort is being made currently to make the 1970’s San Francisco city councilman, Harvey Milk, a martyred saint in this new religion.

The practice of making someone a saint when you’re basing your religion on your sexuality can be problem. Nonetheless, beatification continues by virtue of our modern, everyday media.

First we got the Harvey Milk documenty in 1984. Then we got the Harvey Milk opera. That was followed by the Harvey Milk the children’s book. And now we have the Harvey Milk the movie.

The Santa Fe Mayor David Coss, never one to miss an opportunity to support and represent the homosexual community, attended the local viewing of the movie.

The Santa Fe New Mexican on December 13, 2008 quoted the Mayor as saying,
“But I’m very, very jealous (of Gavin Newsom, the San Francisco mayor)) and I’ve told Gavin this, that he got to perform weddings at least for a few months, and I wanted to do that,” Coss said as the crowd applauded. “I would like to see us do that in Santa Fe.”

In New Mexico we have a governor, Governor Bill Richardson, who has received the “International Role Model Award” from the homosexual community. We have governor in waiting, Lt. Governor Diane Denish, who was parade marshal in the local Gay Pride Parade and now we have Mayor Coss, wanting to perform homosexual marriages in city hall.

The answer to the question “Who is supporting these people and why?” is painfully obvious.

Gay Marriage will be a major issue in New Mexico’s January 2009 legislature session. Unless legislators hear otherwise from their constituents, expect Santa Fe’s Mayor’s cravings to be more than satisfied.
