    How again is this event a “buyback” when it’s likely that the people who will be turning in firearms probably did not get them from the City of Sacramento in the first place?

  1. Curious that the local Dairy Queen [5500 Kathryn SE, Albuquerque, NM 87108] only offers drive-through service
  2. Took a look at the front doors of Guns Unlimited [1039 San Mateo Blvd SE, Albuquerque, NM 87108], no business hours found on the doors. Website says Monday to Friday, 11:00 AM — 7:00 PM MST.
  3. Had a light late lunch (Combo plate #1, hot dog with cheese, French fries, 24 fl oz Pepsi) at Valdivia [1027 San Mateo Blvd SE, Albuquerque, NM 87108], no business hours found on the doors. It appears to have been their grand opening. Curious that they didn’t seem to offer green chile on their menu. Even so, I would visit there again. (Google Maps has the address listed as “Brim Scouts Music Studios.”)

[LPNM] Submission for Libertarian NM Lt. Gov. Candidate Name

From: Karen Bedonie
To: Chris Luchini, Efren Gallardo
CC: Crystal Meiwes, Elizabeth Honcee, Elisheva Levin, Mike Blessing, Angela McArdle, Caryn Ann Harlos
Date: Thursday, July 28th, 2022 at 8:45 PM [MST]

Greetings Mr. Luchini,

Recognizing the new situation of the vacancy of Lt. Governor (L), pursuant NMSA 1978, Section 1-8-8(A), in respect to the January 31, 2022 Secretary of State Declaration date requirement, my campaign for Governor respectfully submits Efren Gallardo, Jr. for Lt. Governor (L). After careful consideration, we know that the urban corridors of Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Las Cruces are the greatest concentration of this election and will need a perfect strategic candidate to tip the win. We also know that roughly 60% of the New Mexico voting base is of Spanish speaking descent. Among all other qualities and requirements our campaign sought after, we are happy to affirm our choice. We graciously support Efren Gallardo Jr. for Lt. Governor to join the Bedonie Campaign for Governor on the Libertarian ticket. The Mr. Gallardo is a New Mexico Spanish speaking Native and a highly respected professional in the major urban settings of Albuquerque / Las Cruces. Mr. Gallardo has huge family ties across the state and will be a major asset in the current time crunch and he is the only candidate that we recommend. He is a registered Libertarian and will bring a very positive and powerful light to the campaign and to the party. Below is his contact information.

Once his candidacy is official, we can have our campaign(s) move to add his name to our statewide support. Our campaign is heating up and time is of the essence. We truly feel we have the greatest opportunity in this election with Mr. Gallardo. Please feel free to contact the campaign at [Phone number REDACTED — MWB]. Mrs. Crystal Meiwes will kindly direct your inquiry to me in my many rural infrastructural-communication challenges. We look forward to hearing from you and receiving Mr. Gallardo’s candidacy submission to the SOS. God bless.

LT. GOVERNOR CANDIDATE:
EFREN GALLARDO JR.
[Contact information REDACTED — MWB]

Yours in Freedom and Liberty,
Karen E. Bedonie
Candidate for New Mexico Governor

Rob Zombie – Shake Your Ass – Smoke Your Grass (Official Music Video)

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9REJJ7KJS10]

Well, I don’t need your Jesus freaks
Well, I don’t need your thought police
Well, I don’t need your saving soul
Well, I don’t need your mind control

Shake your ass, your ass
Smoke your grass, your grass
Shake your ass, your ass
Smoke your grass, your grass

Well, I don’t need your howling moon
Well, I don’t need your happy tune
Well, I don’t need your jetting set
Well, I don’t need your cigarettes

Shake your ass, your ass
Smoke your grass, your grass
Shake your ass, your ass
Smoke your grass, your grass

Come on, well, everybody
It’s time to feel alright
Come on, well, everybody
It’s time to feel alright

America is a society which devours its youth

Well, I don’t want your O-J juice
Well, I don’t want your Lenny Bruce
Well, I don’t want your flying nun
Well, I don’t want your golden gun

Shake your ass, your ass
Smoke your grass, your grass
Shake your ass, your ass
Smoke your grass, your grass

Well, I’m a mad hatter, baby, ride a boogie machine
Blastin’ 8-track tapes when I’m on the scene
I’m a long-gone daddy in a boogaloo
And I stitch it all together with a super glue

Stop playing around, man

Shake your ass, your ass
Smoke your grass, your grass
Shake your ass, your ass
Smoke your grass, your grass

Come on, well, everybody
It’s time to feel alright
Come on, well, everybody
It’s time to feel alright


You Live Here . . . .
