This is a plea to President Barack Obama to establish the Organ Mountains Desert Peaks Area National Monument. The problem with any legislative solution is that the Congress isn't functioning right now, and Congressman Steve Pearce knows it!

What an idea, a contest to kill coyotes. Just as the passenger pigeon is extinct, why not make coyotes and wolves extinct? What a sick contest and society we live in. Stop the slaughter.

So after the coyote hunt you're going to take the pelts and sew them into outfits and put them on homeless people? I guess New Mexico will make the national news again for being a backwards state that kills coyotes to dress it's homeless.

I am glad that Ms. Wilkins has pointed out the errors of the Financial Aid Program. For some time now it has not been balanced out with the kids that are turning in their applications.

In response to the person who called in a couple of time to Sound Off! complaining about the Super PACs wasting millions of dollars when our state is in such tight economic straights, where do you think that money goes? It goes into our economy.

As a senior citizen, after reading the excuse the city has for reducing the hours to the senior citizens programs to save $40,000 on utilities, they spend $35 million to renovate Main Street, which has no revenue income for the city or no one else.

I used to be a Republican. I am now Independent and I say if the Republican Party wants to change its image they are going to have to sever their relationship with hate radio and Fox News.

Romney said that Obama won because he handed out gifts. He forgot to mention the wealthy have been getting gifts for many years in the form of off-shore accounts and loopholes on how to get out of paying taxes.

I hear the Republicans are looking at Jeb Bush and Chris Christy for 2016. Jeb Bush, are you kidding me? It is going to make the rest of the world think that we have got some kind of little dynasty over here.

It is really disgusting to hear the GOP hopefuls who already have their eye on the 2016 election denigrate Mitt Romney's campaign. Romney is the most competent person either party will ever have to fix their broken financial system.

Why is anybody surprised that President Obama ordered the altering of the talking points they sent out about a video being the spark for the terrorist attack, and now we know that he took out Al Qaeda out of the talking points. He is to blame for those four lives that were taken out by the terrorists.

It takes People like Senator John McCain and news media like Fox to keep this administration halfway honest with their coverups and nasty politics.

Republicans keep claiming that Social Security is what is making the debt rise. Two unpaid wars and tax breaks for the rich for 11 years has added to the debt. We pay for Social Security. Leave it alone Republicans. This election said that loud and clear.

The Republicans plan is just to benefit the 1%, the extremely wealthy, the millionaires and billionaires, so I think we better off going over the cliff if they don't come along with what we want.
