By Michael Sainato https://observer.com/2016/09/breaking-guccifer-2-0-releases-more-dnc-docs-exposing-more-corruption/ Guccifer 2.0’s latest release includes a dossier file of DCCC Chair Ben Ray Luján, a Democratic congressman from New Mexico. The extensive file includes hundreds of pages of statements, speeches, financial data and weak and strong points in anticipation of his re-election bid this November, and likely to prepare his political career for bigger ambitions. Among the weak points listed in the dossier is nepotism, as Ben Ray Luján’s father, Ben Luján Sr. was the Speaker of the New Mexico House of Representatives, and helped Luján initially get elected to congress. Luján’s cousin, Michelle Lujan-Grisham, also serves in congress for a separate district in New Mexico. One document provides talking points for Luján to make a call to controversial New Jersey Democratic donor George Norcross in March 2015. “We need Mr. Norcross’ help in recruiting top targets such as State Sen. Van Drew, to run in NJ-2. Ideally, he would call the recruits that we feel are the best and encourage them to run,” read the memo. “Likewise it would be ideal if he could mention his support when asked by others in his powerful circle. This will help to validate our candidates with the political and donor classes.” In a 2013 article, Philadelphia Magazine called Norcross “the man who destroyed democracy.” The DCCC memo reveals the Democratic Party has not only embraced wealthy donors influencing the political system but aggressively courts their input in pushing for their mutually preferred candidates. https://observer.com/2016/09/breaking-guccifer-2-0-releases-more-dnc-docs-exposing-more-corruption/ OCE dot House dot Gov 2017/08/01 OCE Referral Regarding Rep.

Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., whose father, New Mexico Speaker Ben Luján, died late Tuesday in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Associated Press reported the cause of death for the 77-year-old legislator was lung cancer, which was diagnosed in 2009. He was first elected to the New Mexico House in 1974. In January, he announced that he would not seek re-election in November. He presided over the state House through the 2012 session, although he was battling stage 4 cancer. Spectator https://spectator.org/bill-endangers-online-platforms-spreading-misinformation/ The Health Misinformation Act, co-sponsored by Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), would edit Section 230, a 1934 law that protects online platforms from lawsuits over content that users post on their site. In an article for National Review, Michael Dougherty argued that such censorship would harm the ability of those who dissent from accepted narratives (like people who suggested the COVID-19 lab leak theory) to communicate and form the best scientific case to challenge potentially corrupted ideas (like the idea that a Wuhan lab could not have played any role in the pandemic). Doughterty claimed that “The White House and Senate need to stop worrying about what people are sharing on Facebook and instead focus on winning back public trust.” https://spectator.org/bill-endangers-online-platforms-spreading-misinformation/ Tech Dirt 2021/07/23 Senators Klobuchar And Luján Release Ridiculous, Blatantly Unconstitutional Bill To Make Facebook Liable For Health Misinformation.

U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 Dear -- Thank you for contacting my Washington, D.C. office. Keeping in contact with my constituents is very important to me, and I appreciate the opportunity to engage with you on such an important topic. Immigration is a critical issue facing our state and our nation today. Living on the southern border, New Mexicans know the complexities of this issue firsthand. Unfortunately, our immigration system today is broken—our families, businesses, and economy suffer because our current system cannot effectively address the challenges that confront it daily. There is more we must do to strengthen our immigration system to provide immigrants with the dignity, respect, and opportunity they deserve. Throughout my time serving New Mexico, I have supported immigration reform efforts to ensure all New Mexicans are provided with the resources to live a healthy life and opportunities to succeed. Last Congress, I supported legislation like the Keep Families Together Act, the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act, and the Central America Family Protection and Reunification Act. Here in the Senate, I was also proud to work with my colleagues to introduce the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021. This long-awaited legislation keeps families together, and creates a path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants, including our Dreamers and farmworkers. It also includes provisions to help America’s economy recover and rebuild, modernize border security and our ports of entry, and address the root causes of migration from Central America. The diversity in our communities is remarkable, and throughout my time in Congress, I have fought to ensure equal treatment of all people regardless of immigration status. While we may sometimes disagree, please know that I value your input and weigh the thoughts and concerns of New Mexicans before every vote. Going forward, I will continue to work with my colleagues to create a system that is fair, just, and finds solutions to the unique problems facing New Mexico. Once again, thank you expressing your concerns on this important matter. I am humbled to begin serving New Mexico in the Senate and I look forward to being in contact with you. I hope you will consider keeping in contact with me by subscribing to my newsletter here. If you are looking for assistance navigating a federal agency, or would like to speak to a member of my staff in New Mexico, please visit my website here for more information.

BEN RAY LUJAN Position: New Mexico Democrat Senator since January 3, 2021 • Problem with Senator Ben Ray Lujan • Legislation Lujan supports, or related types • Background • Links LIst • Articles • Letter from Luján 2021/09/07 • Misc Problem with Senator Ben Ray Luján: His favoritism toward illegal aliens: These are included in the 2021/09/07 letter as things he supports: Keep Families Together Act; Dreamers and Farmworkers, The Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act, U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 Overly centered on race relations - ie, proudly discussing he is a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and an alumnus of a Hispanic-Serving Institution, joined the first-ever Senate Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Caucus for the 117th Congress. Mr Luján is not working for the general American public, and most certainly not the white residents of New Mexico. HIs views and approaches in these matters are too narrow. Comes from wealthy political family in which father was in a major position in the House as Speak for manyyears - he likely does not truly understand the poor or middle class which abound in New Mexico There are signs he could be one of New Mexico’s Hispanics seeking a return to pre-1850s US-Mexico borders: Hispano background Strong favoritism toward immigrants and illegal aliens Ethnic and racial pride in being Hispanic, not working for all Americans Works collaboratively with similar types of politicians Might have cartel connections Watch his disclosed funding Some New Mexicans speak out clearly against him, including Hispanics; they don’t trust him, don’t think he does much for them he does not get as much attention as Governor Michelle Lujan-Grisham, and probably should be investigated more He did not get into the Senate by much “Luján launched his Senate race against Republican opponent Mark Ronchetti.
