   The purpose of my post was NOT to promote   
   Pearce or any other politician. The fact   
   of the matter is that Pearce HAS promised   
   to work in D.C. to find a way to fund the   
   conservation of Ft. Stanton, but has said   
   he will not do so unless he sees evidence,   
   via letters to him, that the public is   
   behind his effort.   
      
   My interest IS in seeing that this national   
   treasure and local beauty spot is NOT   
   sold to private developers as the state of   
   New Mexico has threatened to do. It is   
   now, and has been, state property that is   
   not considered an asset by anyone in state   
   government - apparently because none in Santa   
   Fe have an iota of interest in anything   
   that lies south of IH-40!   
      
   NM Congressman Steve Pearce has requested letters in support   
   of the preservation of historic Ft Stanton, NM. This   
   important frontier post encompasses some of the most   
   scenic land in South Central New Mexico. The State of   
   New Mexico wants to sell off this historic military post to   
   private interests. If that comes to pass, you can be   
   assured it will be turned into yet another housing   
   development. I am putting the following letter in the mail   
   today and hope others will spare the few minutes it   
   takes to do likewise:

   Attention: Ricardo Bernal   
      
   Subject: Fort Stanton, New Mexico Preservation   
      
   Please add my name to those who wish to see the Fort Stanton properties   
   remain in the public domain and preserved as a historical park.   
      
   Thank you for your efforts in this regard.
