Democratic Politics And Otero Mesa National Monument
BY Steve Pearce, ON MARCH 09, 2010

The nation is dying for jobs with unemployment just under 10%.  We are spending billions on foreign energy.  New Mexico is starving for tax revenues…and the Democrats in Congress are going to make all of them worse.  The Administration has proposed to close the Otero Mesa permanently to all drilling for oil and gas.  Make your voice heard.  Call your representatives to oppose the move.

The Obama administration is taking steps to close off several parts of the Intermountain West to industrial activity, including four areas believed to hold significant oil and natural gas deposits.

If successful, the initiative would block future production of hydrocarbons in the San Rafael Swell in Utah, the Otero Mesa in New Mexico, the Vermillion Basinin Colorado, and the Northern Prairie in Montana.

The Chile Challenge in New Mexico's Wilderness
BY Steve Pearce, ON MARCH 08, 2010

I had the opportunity last weekend to participate in the annual Chile Challenge hosted by the Las Cruces Four Wheel Drive Club.  This is an ultimate off road adventure.  They drive 4WD vehicles on trails throughout the mountains. There are trails for drivers with different expertise levels.  They even suggest the drivers and passengers on the expert trails wear full body armor.  This “challenge” is definitely for the thrill seekers in Southern New Mexico.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This activity in Las Cruces is in danger of ending because of legislation that continues to make more of our wilderness land off limits to people and activities.

Veterans For Congress

"I will go to Washington to do battle against Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Steny Hoyer and the rest of them. They have never seen anything like the Southern fried butt whipping that's coming at them!" Lt. Col. Allen West (Ret.)
 
A common complaint we hear about members of Congress is that they have never served in the military. A total of 95 veterans of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and the National Guard are current House members (the 96th, John Murtha just died). This represents a mere 20 percent of sitting Members of Congress and is a record low. We can chalk this up as one good reason for Congress's stunning ignorance regarding military matters.



Education
Education is a Factor in Unemployment Rate
BY Steve Pearce, ON MARCH 03, 2010

We are told the unemployment rate is 9.7% for the month of February.  It may be considerably higher, but that is fodder for another conversation.  

All employment numbers are aggregates.  The 9.7 (or whatever number you feel comfortable) is actually an average of lots of different numbers.  Those different subsets are where the real information is in the unemployment report.

For example, people without a high school diploma have an unemployment rate of 15.2%.  College graduates have an unemployment rate of 4.9%.  That is a stark reality. 

The better our education system, the better we compete in the world.  The better we compete, the more jobs we have.  When we compete in worse fashion, we have fewer jobs.

These are the basics of economic policy.  Work hard, educate more, push productivity to higher levels and our national standard of living improves.  Fail at these and other nations grab our jobs.




Health Care
Congressional Democrats Continue to Jam Thru the Healthcare Bill
BY Steve Pearce, ON MARCH 02, 2010

Meanwhile the American economy is damaged, unemployment is at 10%and the vast majority of Americans are worried about the future. CNN released a poll on the day of the Healthcare Summit saying 75% on Americans do not want Congress to pass the Healthcare Bill.

The deficit is skyrocketing; the Healthcare Bill will make it and our economy worse.

The Healthcare Bill should be shelved; the Congress should start removing the roadblocks to job creation and implement policies that foster an environment which will cause companies to start to resume hiring.We need jobs.

We should do more than freeze spending.  It would be frozen at over a trillion dollar deficit each year.  We should roll spending back, cutting the nonessential government services.

We should be creating policies which would attract manufacturers to come back to this country.




Will You Be My Wingman?
BY Editor, ON MARCH 02, 2010

Steve Pearce needs freedom fighters right now!

Are you willing to fight to protect this great country and our freedoms?  Are you angry at Pelosi and Congressional spending? Then join our team.  We need your help.

As you know, the economy is terrible.  We are really struggling to match the fundraising of our opponent who is getting hundreds of thousands of dollars from unions and liberal organizations.

A Mother, Son And The President

How My Mother Made A Statement About The Power Of Family Ties

You can like former President Bush or not like him.  I liked him.  I had friends who did not.  I did not always agree with him and sometimes we had sharp differences on policy, but he was always respectful and considerate even when he found my votes unhelpful to what he was trying to accomplish.

But this is not about Mr. Bush, or the Presidency, policy or any of the Washington hoopla.  This is about my Mom.  If any of you have a mother, I think you will get the drift pretty quickly.  You may have a story of your own about your mother to share.  Send it to the campaign at steve@peopleforpearce.com and we will post a couple of them.
