Support safety and personal freedoms in NM

Dear [Rep. / Sen.] [LEGISLATOR LAST NAME],

As your constituent, I ask that you stand with our community against the out-of-state health care corporations trying to influence New Mexico law to put their profits over the safety of our people.

Special interest lobbyists are pushing to weaken the 2021 compromise legislation that fixed the outdated limits on the patient compensation fund.  Don’t let them do it.  I am asking you to protect this law that safeguards patients.

When a New Mexico patient is killed or faced with life-altering injuries, their best recourse for justice is in front of a local, citizen jury free from politically imposed limits on justice.  Please protect the safety of your constituents. Put us before out-of-state corporations.

Thank you,

Petition text:
I believe New Mexico public policy should support statewide community that prioritizes our families’ health, safety, and well-being over corporate power and greed while protecting the freedoms of a New Mexican to hold wrongdoers accountable.

I ask New Mexico public officials to protect the freedoms of every New Mexican to be safe in our workplace, to be paid fairly for our work, to have safe places for students to learn, to choose where we live, to access quality healthcare and to uphold justice by:

• Standing up to powerful insurance lobbyists who put profits over safety;
• Opposing legislation that limits our freedom to hold wrongdoers fully accountable in a civil court of law through a local jury delivering justice free from political mandates;
• Stopping entrenched institutions that would manipulate the statute of limitations rules to thwart accountability for harming a New Mexican;
• Protecting New Mexicans from large, out-of-state corporations that exploit a loophole in New Mexico’s personal jurisdiction policies that aid corporations in avoiding accountability from a local jury for actions that hurt a New Mexican;
• Defending New Mexicans from big tech companies and Silicon Valley billionaires who risk the lives of drivers on New Mexico highways by testing driverless vehicle technology and then refusing to take responsibility for the risks taken in their technology experiments on our roadways; and
• Supporting New Mexico nurses, doctors, health techs, and other health care professionals from corporate healthcare entities that would understaff care facilities in order to maximize profit at the expense of New Mexico health care professionals and the safety of their patients.
