Albuquerque - Today, Congressman Steve Pearce called on Tom Udall to publicly denounce a statement made by presidential candidate Barak Obama saying he would "bankrupt" coal plants by charging them huge tax increases. New Mexico currently has three coal plants employing roughly 1700 people and the Navajo Nation recently won approval from the EPA for the Desert Rock Energy Project near Farmington.
"Does Tom Udall agree that we should bankrupt a part of our energy sector that is responsible for half our electricity in the United States and thousands of good paying jobs," Pearce asked. "In New Mexico, mining provides some of the highest paying wages in the state. How will they provide for their families if Barack Obama and Tom Udall take away their jobs?"
"Tom needs to denounce these remarks immediately. Otherwise, his silence is an indication of support."
Pearce, a former small businessman, has consistently supported developing new technologies to make the use of coal more environmentally friendly. Udall has opposed several bills that would fund clean coal development, such as the Energy Policy Act of 2004 which included the Clean Coal Initiative.
"The Navajo Nation is nearing 50% unemployment. These are good jobs that will help bring financial stability and economic diversity to the reservation," Pearce added. "Tom should tell them now if he plans to stand in their way."
According to the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources:
"Coal is an important contribution to New Mexico's state budget, the third largest source of revenues from mineral and energy production. Tax revenues– severance, resources excise, and conservation taxes, and royalties from coal on state land were $30.7 million in 2001. New Mexico also receives 50% of the royalties collected on federal lands totaling $12.3 million in 2001...Today, 46% of the state's total energy needs are met through power generated from coal."

Dear supporter,
Thanks to you we've come a long way this campaign season and I appreciate everything that you have done for me.
Still, there are two days left and we cannot stop now. We're walking the neighborhoods, making calls and even driving folks to vote if that's what it takes.
So I'm asking you to once again make a donation, this time a $20 contribution or larger, to help fund these efforts. This is a historic election and we must make sure that our ideals and values for New Mexico are well represented upon Election Day.
You can donate by clicking on the link below, or by mailing a check to People For Pearce, P.O. Box 2696 Hobbs, NM. 88241.
Thank you again for all your hard work. I could not have done this without you.
Sincerely,
Steve Pearce
