One good way to prepare to vote in the general election beginning with early voting on October 17 and ending November 3, 2020, is to listen to Paul Gessing, President of the Rio Grande Foundation. Paul does not have all the answers, but he presents innovative ideas about how New Mexico can work through its economic challenges. Click on the links for more information. These are the topics Paul covers on the program today:

  1. On October 13, 2020, rollbacks were announced by the Governor to take effect on Friday the 16th.
  2. The city’s recycling program is having issues. The Mayor’s budget calls for a 5.5% increase. I can discuss this extensively: https://www.abqjournal.com/1501231/mayors-budget-proposes-hike-for-trash-collection.html Budget meeting with the City Council on October 19th.
  3. Journal Article, 09-27-2020 City recycling is more expensive because China is charging more to process recyclables sent to them.
  4. Mayor Keller attempts to hide golf course costs by merging them into the budget https://errorsofenchantment.com/privatize-management-dont-subsidize-city-of-albuquerque-golf-courses/.
  5. Does it mean that city golf courses operate as “enterprise funds” in terms of the budget?
  6. What ideas have been implemented worldwide to improve golf courses’ management to make them profitable and self-sustaining?
  7. CA’s gov. just banned gas vehicles, but a year ago, MLG said NM was going to 52 MPG. https://errorsofenchantment.com/time-for-an-update-on-michelle-lujan-grishams-mpg-mandate/
  8. Should talk broadly about the election and what is at stake. We don’t dive into many federal issues, but the Supreme Court of the US issue is one: https://errorsofenchantment.com/nationally-this-election-is-about-packing-the-court-and-filibuster/.

New Mexico Congressional District 1 Candidate for U.S. House of Representatives, Michelle Garcia Holmes describes her hope for New Mexico and her ideas to help families and children in our state. Michelle is passionate about protecting children before they are born and after they are born!

“I say we need better health care for women because women who are seeking an abortion should have access to every possible type of counseling before making that decision in their life. I want to make health care better for women because there is absolutely no aftercare given to women after aborting their babies. These women who have come to me and told me their testimonies, all of them have attempted suicide. To me, if you look at the statistical data, this is a killer of not one life, but two lives!”

Ministry Director, Travis Clark, brought Jahnika to ABQ Connect for us to hear firsthand how God is using the Steelbridge Transformation to break the cycle of poverty and addiction in the lives of people who want help.  Travis said, “We try to exemplify love. Who cares what somebody did in the past? We want to help them with what they are doing today.”

Spiritual Orphans Network (SON, formerly East European Missions Network – EEMN) has placed career missionaries in Poland, Latvia, Ukraine, Russia, Hungary, Albania, and Turkey. They have just added Mongolia to this list of countries served.   The ministry focuses on equipping the indigenous Church and lay leadership to serve as missionaries within their own culture. Each summer, short-term mission teams serve with these long-term missionaries and ministry partners. Take a look at the short term mission trips being planned now for next summer at https://sonetwork.org/.

David and Angela Breidenbach work together with the SON Network to help Christians make connections with people living in an area of the world oppressed by communism and socialism. Angela said, ” Just coming alongside them, letting them know they are not alone in this world,  has had remarkable results. When you bring the light of Christ into that darkness, it is profound.”
