Our governor in the top 100 most influential. New Mexico, please take notice of who did the write-up. Karl Rove. Mr. Rove, keep your money and influence out of New Mexico.

What is the Spanish word for sand? We need it, so we can change Rio Grande to Sandy Grande, as the name of our new recreational sand pile.

I do not support Garrey Carruthers as the new president, although I agree with the callers that the fix is in and Garrey Carruthers is a done deal.

The ridiculous idea of suggesting Mr. Domenici's name not be attached to a public building because of his past is dinosaur thinking. The person who groused about this is long overdue for swift kick into the 21st century.

I deeply care for all species of animals. I also believe that humans have the right to a peaceful existence in their own homes.

I like Michael Hays' columns. He tells it like it is and it tears up the conservatives because they don't want him speaking out.

The Conservative Caucus is conducting a campaign to stop Obama from ramming Senate Bill S-744 into law. This bill would give amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants now in the country, and incentive to millions more. This is payback for 71 percent of Hispanics' votes in the 2012 election that gave him four more years.

As always, the Republican Party speaks out of both sides of its mouth. It wants Hispanics to think they are for Immigration reform, then they will do anything they can to block it from going through.

U.S. western states are suffering worst drought in more than 50 years. Farmers, ranchers, growers cutting back or going out of business. Obama is sending Colorado River water to Mexico for preservation of "migratory wildlife."

To all the Republican senators who voted to filibuster instead of the vote. Those of us out here have decided how to counter you. We are going to vote with our wallets. We are going to support every organization who can remove you from office.

The only "same old" stuff from Congress is that they're too cowardly to stand up to the NRA.

The Obama Administration sent a delegation to the funeral of qasi-socialist dictator Hugo Chavez, but basically snubbed the funeral of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Actions speak louder than words.

Tuesday it came out that torture did not yield any information and that it was against the law and that other countries will probably torture our men if they ever get them.

Our treasury will have income of a record $2.72 trillion this year but the president wants more in taxes. It seems enough is never enough.

Corporations have not created jobs with the tax cuts and loopholes they have enjoyed the last 12 years. If they did, we would not have such high unemployment. Twenty-five of the richest corporations paid no taxes in 2011.

The person who implied that moving tax rates to those during the Clinton era will automatically usher in prosperity needs a history lesson. During Clinton's entire eight-year presidency, the national debt rose from $4.188 trillion to $5.728 trillion — an increase of $1.540 trillion. Obama hits that deficit every 18 months. Big difference.
