I wanted to share this with you all so that your can see and hear what the Governor shared with the Post. I am so sadden what is happening to our state. I want you to hear what she told reporter Jonathan Capehart:
Cape Up Live with New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham
House Republicans rally support for restaurant owners and employees targeted by Governor’s mandates
Santa Fe, NM – House Republicans today sent a letter to Governor Lujan Grisham announcing their support for the thousands of New Mexicans and local businesses that will be adversely affected by Governor Lujan Grisham’s health recently issued health order. It has been reported that over 200 restaurants have permanently closed due to the forced economic shutdown, with thousands of employees left without a job. The Governor’s recent order, singling out one industry, will undoubtedly increase the economic hardship facing New Mexicans.
“This Governor is very well known for bringing a chair to the White House when she felt she needed a seat at the table- what I want to know is why were small business owners not seated at the Governor’s table when she decided to punish New Mexico restaurants and their employees?” said House Republican Leader Jim Townsend, pictured at the very top. “The unfairness of this administration and their arbitrary decision making will forever change New Mexico.”
Instead of focusing on the many issues at hand like civil unrest and risky protesting, skyrocketing mental health concerns, unemployment and domestic violence, the administration has made it their mission to target small business owners while blaming New Mexicans for an uptick in cases. New Mexico businesses, especially restaurants have bent over backwards to meet public safety standards- often going above and beyond to ensure their customers feel comfortable.
“The Governor has lost all credibility on this issue,” said House Republican Whip Rod Montoya, pictured in this post
. “It is a dereliction of duty for the Governor to punish restaurant owners simply because of the perceived inaction of others.”
Violence is increasing in Albuquerque….Satan is having his way with many in the city. I hardly can type this. My heat is broken for our city. Every life is so very precious to God. Sometimes I think we forget that. Just think of all the babies that have been killed here in Albuquerque this month through abortion. Think about that! Albuquerque is a very sinful city.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Las Cruces Walmart’s Instant Reopening is Latest Sign of State’s Preferential Treatment Of Corporate Giants Over New Mexico Small Businesses
Albuquerque July 13—The quick reopening of a Las Cruces Walmart this past weekend again demonstrates the Lujan Grisham Administration’s blatant favoritism of corporate out-of-state giants over our mom-and-pop businesses.
Four people at the Walmart had tested positive for COVID-19. On Saturday morning, after the big-box store was asked to close, it remained open until 6pm. Then third-party cleaning experts were called in to “further clean and sanitize’ the Walmart.
Hours later the “cleaned” store is reopened Sunday morning.
So what’s going on here? Gov. Lujan Grisham’s Administration says it’s okay to contract COVID-19 and then go back inside a business where people had tested positive?
How do you wipe down an entire Walmart in a few hours?
Did Walmart toss out its entire inventory?
And these outside cleaners—might they have tested positive for the virus?
This is just the latest example of these corporate heavy-hitters—continuing to grab New Mexico dollars—getting special treatment by the State.
“Gov. Lujan Grisham will do anything to protect big-box stores while she kills the little guy–New Mexico’s small businesses,” said Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce. “To allow Walmart to reopen like this is not only irresponsible but also discriminatory. The governor lets this Walmart return to business after this ‘miraculous cleaning’ but keeps our dying restaurants closed where social distancing can be practiced. These actions defy logic, and the governor continues to punish New Mexicans by her inequitable and unjust decisions.”

“America has forgotten its heritage,” Marcus Lamb said. “We need a revival, but one of the heart. For that to happen, America must first return to Christ as Lord with every fiber of her being—where Christ alone is the apex and biblical standard in all things spiritual, political, as moral, and religious within the Judeo-Christian family. While we understand that our founding fathers believed, although not all of them were Christians, that there was a Creator-God, and that he gave us certain inalienable rights, freedoms and liberties—some have taken them for granted, and now, we are losing those freedoms at an alarming rate.”
The American church must lead the people of God in repentance and revival if they hope to recover their constitutional freedoms, Marcus Lamb says.
