Way to go Nella!
Nella gets it done!
I’m sure the residents appreciate you. More than they do the current governor. 👍🇺🇸
Time to step up and help our fellow New Mexicans.
Politics at this time is moot…
Lord, guide and direct those fighting the fires and managing your precious people directing them to safety!
Peace,
Rev. Rico
Thank you, Nella!
Way to go Nella!! While the current senator cares more about banning our guns!!
Wonderful! Thank you!!
How about a drop off point in Alamogordo??
thank you for all that you do and praying come November 5th that you are elected and Heinrich is booted out of the round house.
Karen, Heinrch occupies a seat in the U.S. Senate, not the Round House!
Time for our surroundings communities to come together and help our brothers and sisters. Put away the politics and focus on the need. In this time of need we will truly see the character of those that govern. Roll up your sleeves and set aside our indifferences and help everyone including ALL the Native Americans that were affected in this disaster.
