Surge of COVID Cases in New Mexico: Will the Governor Shut Us Down Again? UNM Announces Vaccine Requirement
Pastor Dewey Moede
Last night at our softball game, I was talking to one of my friends who is a food rep. He works for a food distributer here in Albuquerque. I asked him if his customers, which are owners of restaurants in the Albuquerque area, are concerned about another shutdown, he said YES. I do not know how the restaurants and the workers would survive another shutdown. The Governor fired off a warning shot yesterday. My friends at Smiths Supermarket are also concerned. I just do not think even a partial shutdown is a good idea at all. We all here in America have suffered much in so many ways during COVID, deaths, not able to attend funerals, not able to grieve the loss of a loved one in a ‘normal way’ not able to see loved ones, it has created division and anger and that will only get worse if shutdowns happen again. You should have seen us play softball last night and the fans in the stands…families together having so much fun! So much joy! I got home after the game and saw this story, it made me wonder if are upcoming games would be cancelled. What happens to our children???? School???? Our children need human contact. How do you give the COVID vaccination to someone that does not want the shot?????? I cannot even imagine Churches shutting down again! By the way, This whole mess has brought up a point that I have talked about for years! Public Schools need to be run by the local folks, the local school boards! NOT THE STATE!!!!!!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I’ve heard many of you say that it is time to stand up. Sen David Gallegos, Rep Rod Montoya, Rep Jack Chatfield and I met with several school Boards today about their feelings and intentions and Greg Schmedes met with School Board Association….it is time to stand up and let your elected officials know what you want and what your expect of them. A few Senators and Representatives can’t do it without your strong loud voice. Let your school boards know now. We want our school boards to be able to control their schools…Local Control is what we want. If the State can threaten your school board and your Superintendents to act against their will and against what they believe best for our children….shame shame on us for not supporting them.
