CALLS TO ACTION

NMBC's Current and Urgent Initiatives:

It's time to fix Social Security benefit rules for those who have served the public!

For decades, police officers, teachers, and firefighters have not received their full Social Security benefits. The Social Security Fairness Act aims to fix this by removing rules that reduce or eliminate their benefits. Please take less than 5 minutes to ask your NM Congressional Representatives to sign petition H. Res. 1410 and vote on these rules!
Tell your Congressional Reps to sign the discharge petition HERE!

NMBC's Previous Initiatives:

Let your voice be heard at various town hall meetings!

The governor has scheduled public safety town halls in ABQ and Las Cruces to hear from you! We encourage you to attend and let your voice be heard.
More info about the town halls HERE!

Use Your Voice to Stop Unnecessary Government Overreach!

The Air Quality Bureau's unelected officials are pushing for hefty taxes on NM businesses! They're trying to grow their department without any oversight and using increased taxes to do it, even though the NM Environmental Board (NMED) already receives sufficient funding from legislators! The Air Quality Bureau should not grow their department and make YOU foot the bill when they have enough funding.
Tell your legislator that you do NOT want this new tax!

Use Your Voice to Stop the Mandates and Regulations on NM Businesses!

This is a new TAX that would force Employees and employers to pay out of pocket into a 12 week PTO which would harm our already fragile businesses and the workers they employ. Ask Legislators to vote 'NO' on Paid Family Medical Leave Act. (PFMLA)- HB 6, HB 11, SB 3!
Tell our Legislature and Governor to VOTE NO on PMFLA!

Stop the Backdoor Attempt to Sue Gun Manufacturers and Retailers!

Although this bill is targeted at the firearms industry, this could have a ripple effect in the manufacturing space. Please ask your legislator to say NO to HB 114, Firearm Industry Accountability Act.
Please ask legislators to vote NO on this bill!

Stop legislators from raising NM's gas prices unnecessarily!

This' a new tax on the oil & gas industry and PNM. It will do little to 'clean' the environment. Ask your legislators to vote 'NO' on HB41 Clean Transportation Fuel Standards!
Click HERE to take action!

Say NO to state government run Community Banks!

This would allow legislators & the governor to create and oversee a state managed bank. Ask legislators to say NO to HB125 Public Banking Act!
Please ask legislators to vote NO on this bill!

Judges Need new Denial of Bail Standards for Those Who are a Threat to the Community!

Asking legislators to say 'YES' to these bills, HJR 3 & SJR 11 Requirements for Denial of Bail, would allow voters to fix the 'catch and release' system we have now.
Please ask legislators to vote YES on these bill!

INACTIVE: Stop Another Socialized Tax on New Mexican Families!

Oppose HB 218 Low-Income Public Utility Rates. This bill would force hard-working families and senior citizens struggling to pay their own bills to help pay utility bills for others.
Oppose HB 218 HERE!

INACTIVE: Keep Our Elections Secure!

Tell legislators to vote NO on SB 180. We need more security and transparency in our elections, not more partisan interference, unfunded mandates, and secrecy.
Oppose SB 180 HERE!

INACTIVE: Stop the Mandates and Regulations on NM Businesses!

Ask Legislators to vote 'NO' on Senate Bill 11 (SB11) Paid Family Medical Leave Act. (PFMLA)! This act forces employees and employers to pay out of pocket into a 12 week PTO which would harm our already fragile businesses and the workers they employ.
Oppose SB 11 HERE!

INACTIVE: Stop Rising Inflation for New Mexicans!

Oppose House Bill 25 that would cause minimum wage to increase, driving inflation and the cost of living expenses even higher than it already is!
Oppose HB 25 HERE!

INACTIVE: Tell all NM Senators to Vote No!

NM Legislators are now working to remove the security and integrity of our election in the ‘Voting Rights Protections' bill that allows prisoners to vote, and mandates automatic voter registration, and so much more.
Oppose HB 4 HERE!

INACTIVE: Help fix New Mexico's Crime Problem!

Urge NM Legislators to Vote YES on House Joint Resolution 9 (HJR9)! This bill would give judges more freedom to retain dangerous criminals.
Support HJR 9 HERE!

INACTIVE: Prevent a governor from hurting New Mexicans and their businesses ever again!

Ask Legislators to vote 'YES' on House Bill 80 (HB80) which would require the governor to consult with the legislature after an emergency order was issued, every 60 days.
Support HB 80 HERE!

INACTIVE: Help Save NM Businesses and Employees!

Say NO to the Paid Family Medical Leave Act (PFMLA) that will take money from all employees and most businesses. This will hurt our state by burdening businesses and employees with more costs and if passed, could go into effect in 2026.
Take 30 seconds to sign our petition HERE!

INACTIVE: Support the new KBI- Parental Rights APS Policy!

The APS School Board is considering this new policy: KB1- Parent Rights and Responsibilities. This is a good Parental Rights Policy that we can get behind. However, the progressives are already trying to shut it down with commentary and demonstrations, so we need to show strong support in every way possible.
Sign up to speak at APS' Board Meetings (virtually or in person) HERE!

INACTIVE: Encourage City Councilors to override the mayor's veto on Homeless Camps!

The 6-3 moratorium vote has been vetoed by the mayor but the city councilors can still override his veto! Take 30 seconds to send an email to those who voted in favor, encouraging them to stand firm with 1000s of voters who are against these camps.

INACTIVE: Tell NM Senator Ben Ray Lujan to Retract his Misinformation Bill from the U.S. Congress!

If you disagree with your tax dollars being used to promote “official” health information and to disrupt the free flow of communication that our country was founded on, please take a moment to send an email to Senator Lujan. This will only take a minute, and it is important for letting Senator Lujan know the desires of the people he is representing.

INACTIVE: Say NO to State Controlled Utilities in NM.

Can you imagine the state or a municipality, like the city of Albuquerque, having control over your electricity? Consider the power the governor has enjoyed over the past two years of opening and closing businesses, telling us when and where we can shop, and whether our kids could go to school. She discussed turning off the power to companies that were not abiding by her ‘emergency health orders’. Think what would happen if she had the authority to turn off your heat, air conditioning, or appliances.

INACTIVE: Voters Should Have the Right to Recall Elected Officials.

HJR 12 is a proposed Constitutional Amendment which would allow the recall of elected officials in New Mexico. Many people have asked how we can stop the Governor's overreach of power, and this is one answer!

INACTIVE: Stop the Radical 'Green' Agenda.

HJR 2 and SJR 2 are resolutions that ask voters in the next election to say 'yes' or 'no' to a constitutional amendment. These resolutions propose to amend the New Mexico Constitution to provide "environmental rights." This amendment allows individuals to sue government agencies when they feel their environmental rights have been compromised.

INACTIVE: Protect Your 2nd Amendment Rights New Mexico.

HB 156 is a proposed ban on firearm magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. If you own a magazine that holds more than 15 rounds, you would have to destroy your magazine or you would become a felon if the bill becomes law.

INACTIVE: HB 6 Clean Future Act is the Governor's attempt to outdo California.

HB 6 goes further than a U.S. model approach and seeks to have the most stringent requirements in the world. This legislation is more stringent than California, a state with vastly stronger resources for compliance, and the Paris Agreement.
Click HERE to send an email to key legislators.

INACTIVE: There is never a good time to unnecessarily raise gas prices, especially NOW!

SB 14 Enacting the Clean Fuel Standard Act will, in reality, do little for the environment but will instead force New Mexico motorists to pay 35 cents/gallon MORE for gasoline.
