I teach adult education courses at an educational institution. High school dropouts and high school graduates often sit side by side in my classroom learning how to form a sentence, divide multidigit numbers, or read a paragraph. New Mexico can do better. The illiteracy in our state is a problem for each of us. Schools, teachers, and tutors alone cannot solve the problem. What can you do?

Domenici is a sell out, or rather, a sell anything. He would sell the whole state of New Mexico if he could. His staffer, Steve Bell, seems to know only the beauty of oily money. We can hope he follows Domenici out the congressional door upon the senator’s retirement.
Let’s make our nation self sufficient in energy by using renewables. We can take back the green revolution that China and even Germany, a country with less sunshine than New Mexico, are leading. Scratching within wilderness for oil and gas is leaving us with the dinosaurs from which these petroleum products originated. There’s a green energy future; leave Domenici, Bell, and the dinosaurs in the past.
