		<description>I'm proud of Rick Lass' candidacy and very happy to see the Northern group and Chapter of the Sierra Club endorse him.  He is by far the better candidate and Mr. Block is making a mockery out of own democratic process by refusing to answer community groups' and media questionnaires and by considering Mr. Lass' third party bid as below him.

However, we've been here before, as in the last PRC election in which David Bacon, also endorsed by the Sierra Club and numerous other endorsers, lost to Carol Sloan who similarly refused to make her case to the good voters of NM.  Chalk that one up to the straight party ticket voters.  It's a good bet that Mr. Block is employing the same strategy.  What an easy ride to a good paying job without having to take any position on any issue!

Please, voters of New Mexico,  remember that you CAN indeed pull that straight party lever and still go down the list and cast a vote for Rick Lass for PRC!  

As things go, I can envision a day where we conceivably have a PRC half made up of people who never had to tell us what their intentions or qualifications were!</description>
