Take Action

By John Buchser, Chapter Chair

Radio has been my college course over the last year—with a quiz every Friday. Chris Diestler interviews me every Friday morning on local rock ’n’ roll station 101.5 FM.

The Pit rule safeguards our water sources. Governor Martinez wants to allow polluting our water sources. Watch this short video and call her office (505-476-2200) to voice your opinion in favor of clean water.

The Trap Free NM coalition of which we are a part is offering these wonderful, wallet-sized, laminated non-trapping licenses. Your purchase of $20 is all it costs to help us build support for ending brutal and indiscriminate trapping on New Mexico public lands. That is the same price as an actual trapping license issued by NM Game and Fish which allows the unlimited slaughter-for-profit of our wildlife. Purchase of this license supports living wildlife and recreation in wild places unhindered by traps.

*Santa Fe, NM- December 14, 2011* - The first four chapters of the Sustainable Land Development Code (SLDC) were released to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) and the public at the December 13, 2011 BCC Meeting. The SLDC will implement the goals, policies, and strategies of the adopted Sustainable Growth Management Plan (SGMP), which was approved in November 2010. Copies and CDs are available at County Administrative Offices in the Planning Division at 102 Grant Ave. and are available at the County Satellite Offices (Pojoaque, Eldorado, Edgewood).

We need your help to show the faces that support a trap-free New Mexico. Be part of our video montage by downloading and printing the trap-free poster (or make your own) and fill in the blank with words that describe YOU! Then take your picture holding the sign and email it back to Mary Katherine Ray at mkrscrim@kitcarson.net.

Let your voices be heard- and your faces- be seen! In the spirit of the season, gather the kids, the dogs the horses and everyone and create your trap-free NM identity today! The printable poster is attached and can be downloaded.

Watch this video to see that New Mexicans from many walks of life oppose trapping on public lands.
