The hospitality of the New Mexican people during the event, and while I traveled to and from it, was heartwarming, to say the least. Over the course of my visit it became quite clear to me why the people of your state had the foresight to elect Governor Johnson to New Mexico's highest office and why he would be the leader bold and honest enough to embrace an issue long ignored by elected officials of less character and integrity, the "War On Drugs" and its harm to the American people. He so typifies the people I met throughout your state and that's the highest compliment I can give you. I can only hope that, should you travel to Colorado, our people will treat you so generously. Thank you, New Mexico. Mike Plylar, Kremmling, Colo. - --- MAP posted-by: Doc-Hawk
