I am an independent filmmaker running in 2006 in New Mexico for House District 23. I live in a changing community that now has only Republican representation for our district at the legislature. I haven't heard my voice supported in issues that matter to me like healthcare, education, civil rights, living wage, water for our future... actually the list of issues the incumbent has voted against that would support children and/or families (public record) is mind-boggling. And most voters seem to have no idea. How does that happen? Rather than let the incumbent run unopposed, this felt like the time to "stand up" in this way. And now when possible, we try to have a camera running. People can feel heard when a camera is rolling. Maybe we can illuminate issues of democracy or why voting matters. Some of our clips are making it to the website www.stirling2006.com Any help, support, volunteers or enthusiasm the internet community can provide, our campaign would appreciate it. I am not sure what exactly the next 5 weeks will bring. B.
