By JOSE GARCIA For over a year, polling has indicated that most voters don’t want Trump or Biden in the White House next year. But just as human-produced CO2 pollutes the atmosphere, the political biosphere —contaminated by bipartisan gerrymandering; campaign finance laws that invite corruption; wacko leaders in Congress; media platforms that profit hugely from the political spectacles they encourage and then cover, and then lament; a Supreme Court that discredits itself more each day as it loses all connection to fair play — has rigged things to make it likely both Trump and Biden will be imposed on a frustrated electorate that desperately wants new blood. In other words, public opinion be damned. The attack on democracy did not begin with Trump or the Supreme Court or the Clintons— they just moved it along. It began with the termites of gerrymandering, campaign finance, and media deregulation half a century ago. Then it moved on to create rigged nominating rules that whisper loudly: public opinion be damned.

On May 1, 2024 the 69th Annual District Ten Conference opened in Albuquerque, NM. Altrusans were present from every club in the district, which covers New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. During the Conference, members were able to donate and collect materials to support the New Mexico Dream Center – an organization which provides a 360° strategic approach to address human trafficking in New Mexico through prevention activities, outreach to victims, services for survivors, and a support system for clients in their self-determination. Attendees were also able to participate in workshops about leadership, fundraising, and organization. None of this would have been possible without the generous support from local businesses in Artesia and Dexter. When costs in Albuquerque put strain on the District budget, members reached out to local businesses for help. Altrusa International of District Ten would like to give a special ‘Thank You’ to those who answered our call and went above and beyond to help – Valley Dairy Products, SWCCI, Hocker & Sons, Sondie Stockton State Farm, Artesia Soft Water, Burgess Chiropractic Center, and Bennie’s Western Store. It is thanks to these sponsors that Altrusans were able to attend Conference and, in turn, could help others in another New Mexico Community. We are truly blessed to live in such a wonderful and supportive community.
