Earlier this morning, I and a few colleagues from the Tea Party movement went over to Rio Rancho High School armed with a video camera in order to do some “man on the street” interviews with those attending President Obama’s speech and those who were protesting. The interviews were to be posted online at Pajamas […]

March 9, 2009 / Paul Gessing / Uncategorized

The United States Constitution is a much trampled upon document these days. The trend started long ago with Woodrow Wilson and FDR being among the most anti-Constitutional presidents in the history of the Republic. Of course , this trend has only worsened in recent years as both President Bush and Obama have further ignored the […]

Does Mimi Stewart Wish to Weaken New Mexico’s Vote?

December 31, 2008 / Paul Gessing / Uncategorized

Despite much criticism (mostly from the left), the Electoral College by which the United States chooses its presidents is one of the greatest innovations of the Founding Fathers. Better still (at least for New Mexicans), the effect of the Electoral College is that it increases the influence of rural and sparsely-populated states (like New Mexico) […]

Happy Bill of Rights Day

While the Founding Fathers would undoubtedly be rolling in their graves if they were aware of the federal government’s massive intervention in the American economy, we can still celebrate America’s Bill of Rights and its important legacy of limited government. It is also important to educate our fellow Americans that ours is a federal government […]

Good News on Guns!

Rarely do we at the Rio Grande Foundation discuss the 2nd Amendment or gun rights, but the Supreme Court’s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller is a very big deal because it is a clear sign that the Court hasn’t completely abandoned attempts to read the document as it is written. While it is […]

Kudos to the ACLU

We don’t always see eye-to-eye with the ACLU, but it is hard to argue with their standing up for the concept of “innocent until proven guilty.” According to news reports, a truck driver was stopped at a weigh station on U.S. 54 in New Mexico north of El Paso, Texas. He gave police permission to […]

According to a new publication from the Institute for Justice, the non-profit law firm that litigated for property owners in Kelo v. New London, New Mexico’s eminent domain reforms passed during the last legislative session give the state an “A” when it comes to protecting property owners. We knew the reforms were good and we’re […]

January 12, 2007 / Paul Gessing / Uncategorized

Ron Paul, the constitutionalist-Republican Congressman from Texas has set up an exploratory committee for the purposes of running for President in 2008. Given the dearth of small-government types in either party that have announced for 2008, Dr. Paul’s candidacy is a welcome development. If nothing else, it will be interesting to what extent he can […]

Ending Eminent Domain Abuse in NM

December 22, 2006 / Harry Messenheimer / Uncategorized

Thanks to Walter Bradley for his fine opinion piece supporting defense of our precious property rights in New Mexico. We discovered that local governments could use New Mexico’s incredibly broad condemnation authority to take virtually any property in the state and hand it over to developers. Most people recognize the need for eminent domain to […]
