May 2013 Update

Hello All,

We had a lot of meetings this month , so here is a brief update.

April 28, 2013,   Meeting in Las Cruces resulted in a smaller turn out than hoped for, from 266 non- returned mailings for Dona Ana, Hidalgo, Grant, Luna and Sierra Counties. We were blessed with 12 adults and 2 children. Meeting went well and valuable information was exchanged. People there now know of our existence and have begun spreading the word.

May 9,2013,   Sex Offender Management Board (SOMB) meeting was attended and recorded. The Board discussed Bills that passed into law and the one that didn’t. Also which bill they expect to return next year in one form or another. So be prepared for a Battle in the Roundhouse next year.

May 11, 2013,   RSOLNM board meeting was held in Tijeras. Ideas were discussed for improvements to RSOLNM.ORG web site and implementation agreed upon. Some of the changes you may have noticed, redirection of some pages under different tabs and new tabs. Everything is still there we are adding more information as well as services. (SEE BELOW)

May 11,2013,   CURE (Citizens United for Rehabilitation of Errants) held a meeting in Tijeras following the RSOLNM Board meeting. CURE started in Texas in 1972 and became a National organization in 1985. They are trying to form a larger presence in New Mexico. CURE has recently taken up our banner to stand against the continued punishment if RSOs. For more info on CURE visit : www.curenational.org or cure@curenational.org

May 15, 2013:   Online Fundraiser had a small turn out, but still raised over $500.00.

WEB SITE:

There is now, ” RSOLNM Talk ” for members, where members and contributors (If we have you e-mail) can ask and answer questions, exchange information, be able to tell us instantly when something is happening in your county/town or simply chat. Those up to date members whose e-mail address we have, you will receive a password in the coming weeks. TOS applies.
More to come! Soon!

Visionary Committee

RSOL New Mexico Visionary Committee

The idea of a Visionary Committee is to collect ideas that will further advance our goals and to inform registered families of the many accomplishments of Reform Sex Offender Laws New Mexico.

Question?  The primary purpose of the committee is to ascertain what it will take to get more of New México’s registrants, family members and their friends to support RSOL? There are more than 3000 individuals listed on New Mexico’s registry, yet only a small percentage support RSOL-NM. We need to hear from you regarding what would inspire you to join the fight. Please let us know call or e-mail (Please put RSOL in the subject line)

RSOL-NM has plans to start holding meetings in various locations around the State real soon. We need persons on the ground to assist in locating suitable and secure places in which to hold these meetings. Our first priorities are Farmington, Las Cruces, and somewhere in the eastern part of the state. If you would like us to consider a meeting in your area, or are interested in attending/assisting with such a meeting, please let us know by e-mail or phone call.

We need Volunteers on the ground as well as financial partners to pursue litigation and to continue the Legislative Fight in future years.
