Happy Thanksgiving! - It was in 1863 that the Proclamation was made. Washington, D.C. October 3, 1863 By the President of the United States of America. A Proclamation. The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country, rejoicing in the consiousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and Union. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the Unites States the Eighty-eighth. By the President: Abraham Lincoln William H. Seward, Secretary of State ...................................... The Republican Party of New Mexico would like to wish you a very blessed and HAPPY THANKSGIVING! http://images.christianpost.com/blog/full/15860/pilgrims-thanksgiving.jpg

Clear Evidence on Disincentives to Work - Good Read

People in government like to take credit for the drop in the unemployment rate this year. But one reason the rate dropped is because the government didn’t extend unemployment benefits. Recall that in January President Obama asked Congress to pass an insurance-extension bill that would allow people to receive unemployment checks for almost two years."Voting for unemployment insurance helps people and creates jobs,” he said,"and voting against it does not.” From where I sit in private business, things look different. Had Congress extended unemployment benefits the number of people without work would be higher than it is today. Unemployment compensation is a cushion people need when they fall on hard times. But it can also deter people from looking for work if they know they can receive public assistance for years at a time. At Express Employment Professionals, we wanted to know more about the effect of such policies. So we commissioned detailed surveys in May 2014 by the Harris Poll of 1,500 unemployed Americans and 1,500 unemployed Canadians. Results revealed that 82% of America’s unemployed said they would"search harder and wider” if their unemployment compensation ran out. Forty-eight percent said they"haven’t had to look for work as hard” due to their unemployment benefits, and 62% agreed that those benefits had"allowed me to take time for myself.” Those replies are what I call common sense. We hear the same message at our offices throughout the country where we find jobs for people. It isn’t uncommon for jobs to remain unfilled because we can’t find enough people to take the work. Before federal unemployment benefits ran out, North Carolina provided a useful and persuasive"market test,” as a February editorial in The Wall Street Journal pointed out. In what many viewed as a controversial move, North Carolina ended long-term benefits for the unemployed in the middle of 2013. People who counted on an unemployment check were told the checks were going to end. The result? From July 2013 to January 2014, while the national unemployment rate fell to 6.6% from 7.3%, the North Carolina rate declined twice as fast: to 6.7% from 8.1%. In Canada, the Harris Poll we commissioned indicated that the unemployed are even more likely to say that unemployment compensation means they don't have to look as hard for work—56%, compared with 48% in the U.S. Similarly, 74% of Canadian respondents said they were able to take time for themselves, compared with 62% in the U.S. Canada’s benefits are generally considered more generous than in the U.S. The surveys in both countries indicate that more generous benefits may result in more incentive for the unemployed not to accept certain jobs or to postpone their job search until their benefits run out. In Europe, where social benefits are higher than in the U.S. or Canada, their unemployments rates are typically high as well. The question is not whether the government should offer any benefits or endless benefits. The challenge is striking the right balance for the right time: not too much, not too little, offering needed help without creating a moral hazard. In extreme economic downturns, it makes sense that the temporary support of jobless benefits should last a little longer to provide support while people look for work. But when the economy is recovering, extending benefit eligibility indefinitely can turn the transition period into a holding pattern. None of this is an excuse to call the unemployed lazy. I am disgusted when I hear that; it is a hurtful fabrication that has no place in our public discourse. Americans want to work. That is our nature. But sometimes government policies disincentivize work, and that makes no sense. So far, 2014 has been a positive year for job creation. While it could be better, if unemployment compensation had been extended it would have been worse.

Honoring Our Veterans - Freedom Does Not Come Free. Today, the Republican Party of New Mexico would like to recognize all who have served for our county as we celebrate Veterans Day. Chairman John Billingsley issued the following statement to honor our brave veterans: "America is the greatest country in the world. Why? – Because we are free. Free to live, worship, and speak how we wish. But freedom does not come free - it comes with a price - a price that those who fought for our country have paid. I want to show my appreciation to all veterans on this day. Thank you for doing your duty, stepping up and not down, defending our freedom and putting your life on the line. It is a sacrifice you do not have to make. You are what keeps America strong – the land of the free, the home of the brave. I am proud to call myself an American and it is the men and women who serve our country that attribute to this great sense of pride. May God be with each and every veteran and all those who serve to protect our freedoms and this beautiful country.” Let us reflect on Veterans Day with some memorable quotes from our countries former leaders: Abraham Lincoln:"The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.” Dwight D. Eisenhower:"In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this anniversary, all veterans, all veterans’ organizations, and the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the common purpose.” Ronald Reagan:"We remember those who were called upon to give all a person can give, and we remember those who were prepared to make that sacrifice if it were demanded of them in the line of duty, though it never was. Most of all, we remember the devotion and gallantry with which all of them ennobled their nation as they became champions of a noble cause.” George W. Bush:"We will not tire, We will not falter, We will not fail.” http://cdn4.dogomedia.com/images/7c5a592f-9263-4a48-ab9b-b3a56b19139f/happy-veterans-day-pictures.jpg http://cdn4.dogomedia.com/images/7c5a592f-9263-4a48-ab9b-b3a56b19139f/happy-veterans-day-pictures.jpg(Link) http://cdn4.dogomedia.com/images/7c5a592f-9263-4a48-ab9b-b3a56b19139f/happy-veterans-day-pictures.jpg(Link) http://cdn4.dogomedia.com/images/7c5a592f-9263-4a48-ab9b-b3a56b19139f/happy-veterans-day-pictures.jpg(Link)

RPNM Chairman Billingsley's statement on Election Results

RPNM Chairman Billingsley's statement on Election Results Albuquerque, NM- The Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman John Billingsley released the following statement on the results of the November 4th midterm election. "I am ecstatic that we elected an outright majority in the New Mexico House of Representatives! After 80 years of relentless Democrat control, New Mexico finally has a chance to turn around and begin to move in the right direction. I can’t wait to see how the House and Senate approach legislation in the next two years. We kept our Governor and Lt. Governor, retained the Secretary of State, and held on to a Court of Appeals judge. We are still waiting on the final call for Land Commissioner, but are confident Aubrey Dunn has it. These are all excellent victories that will benefit New Mexicans in a plethora of ways. Unfortunately, we did not pick up more conservative leadership to send to Washington – but kept Congressman Steve Pearce as New Mexico’s only true U.S. statesman. The fortunate thing about the national scene is that Harry Reed is out as the Senate Majority Leader, and we now have control of both chambers of the national Legislature. Billingsley continued,"I am very proud of all GOP candidates. They ran strong races and advocated the common sense, conservative way of governing. The dedication, integrity, and incredible effort put forth into each and every campaign makes me proud of the Republican Party and honored to be a part of it. He concluded with,"We will go into these next couple of years with hope that good legislation will be passed and bad legislation blocked. Many here in the Land of Enchantment – including Democrats, have taken to conservative values and let me tell you, we are just getting started. Our efforts will continue. Positive changes will occur as our national government takes a deep breath and allows the country to be run the right way – by the people and for the people!”
