nothing from History"I just had this incredible flashback to the last time I ran for Land Commissioner in 1990. I remember the day Sadaam Hussein invaded Kuwait. I was on my way to visit Yogi Bahjan at the Sihk enclave near Espanola. We sat and watched CNN and lamented the situation. Yogi Bahjan was very upset and there was an air of sadness at his home.
Flash forward 16 years. I am running for Land Commissioner once again and the newscasts are about the same. Chaos in the middle east, no end in sight, people dying because of oil and a bush in the White House. If this continues, just like after the Gulf War, there is a strong possibility there will be a sea change in politics in Washington. We may actually win back the Congress and Senate as people's pent up frustration is vented on federal elected majority party incumbents. Let's hope so, our country's future depends on it.
Right now so many of us state and local politicians who are running for office are mostly consumed with our own little races. When you look at them from the outside you can understand why they don't get much attention. It will probably remain that way right up until voting starts.

Right about now I would send $25.00 to all of the County Chairs for the Democratic parties in New Mexico and ask them to ask their members to vote for you in November. Bet it is worth 100-200 votes. Support the people who are always in the trenches.
