You should go to one of her Saturday morning office hours.

She meets with anyone who wants to come; average 25-30 people from every political persuasion. It is about fixing government. They are really quite informal and absolutely non partisan. If there is republican business to do, it is done afterward. You are welcome to attend that as well.

but only if you know the secret handshake.

No, I do not know her. But I do know she is a New Mexico Republican. And I do not know one of those who does not have an agenda to do damage to the Democrats. They have never, in my voting lifetime, given me a reason to think otherwise of them.

This is the silliest thing I have ever heard. Do you even know her?

Of all of the people to go off on, why would you pick the one who is trying to tell the truth?

Obama won because he was “attuned” to technical things. Whomever is “attuned” will get the information out, and information is power, and power should be with the people. Technology allows regular people to take back some of the power that has been lost. It doesn't matter if it is Democrat or Republican. I know of bad politicians in both parties. I don't think it is a Dem/GOP issue. That is just a way to keep the “real” issues away from the public. I have more in common with the other party if they are tech minded then I do with my own party members who are “resistant” to change.

Not sure what you mean. This (webcasting) NMGOV.TV is about New Mexico transparency. We are only 3 states that don't have live broadcasting of the legislature or committees. As you know most of the work takes place in the committees
