Democracy for New Mexico
The UNM Center for the Study of Voting, Elections and Democracy (C-SVED) held its second of three Citizen Panel meetings yesterday in Santa Fe to discuss and compare the current Electoral College system with a new approach, the National Popular Vote Initiative. Guests at Wednesday’s meeting included the New Mexico Secretary of State, Dianna Duran, Senators Rod Adair and Peter Wirth, and State Legislators Nate Gentry and David Doyle. In addition to these guests, Citizen Panel members, including County Clerks from four New Mexico counties and multiple citizens and citizen groups, grappled with the idea of changing the way we vote for president to a national popular vote.

Democracy for New Mexico
From the UNM Center for the Study of Voting, Elections, and Democracy (UNM C-SVED): With a Presidential election just over one year away, there are major events happening that may change the way we select our President. In Pennsylvania and Nebraska, legislators are getting national headlines as they consider altering the method by which their states’ Presidential electors are chosen. Nationally, a national popular vote movement has quietly amassed 49% of the electoral votes it needs to change the method of electing Presidents. New Mexico must be heard in this important, national debate.

Was Health Care One of your Reasons for Coming to Argentina?
www.democracyforamerica.com and their supporters have a TV ad showing in DC and in the state of Nebraska that is debunking right-wing agents provocateur at town halls all over the old country.
The above ad appears to have cut some ice with Senator Ben Nelson D-NE who is one of too many Democratic Senators currently delaying current health care legislation in the US congress.
The group is looking for more real-life stories like the Nebraska restaurant owner. How 'bout you?
I've talked to many US expats that have told me that affordable health care was a major reason for them coming to Argentina. Some folks write me to say that it would be the main reason for a decision to come here.
