Focus Group - New Drug Intervention Program
Dear Democratic Party Member,
In order to hear your opinions on a new drug intervention program that could start in New Mexico, and possibly Grant County, we are hosting a focus group on Tuesday, July 13 from 7-8pm, with refreshments provided. We feel your opinion on this matter is critical and we intend to hear from democrats and republicans alike. We will produce conclusions from this and two other focus groups in a published paper that may influence legislative decisions.
If you would like to participate, please call or email Dr. Jennifer Johnston, the lead researcher of the study (contact information below). She will provide details of the location of the focus group.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Jennifer Johnston, PhD

Just a small sample. Then there's total insanity:
trump claims he'll be reinstated by August.
Rep Louie Gohmert (R-TX) suggests climate change is caused by changes in the moon's orbit and has asked the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management to see what they can do abut it.
And the Covid Craziness continues:
The weeks ahead:
Follow your favorite news sources (fox, right?) to see what happens to the traitors and seditionists in Congress, the fascist invaders of the Capitol, and the Otero County nutjob. The latest from KOB TV.
