Opposing Digits

New Mexico Governor William Blaine Richardson III has been requested by 10 New Mexico State Senators in a letter to declare a state of public health emergency, in accordance with NMSA 12-10A-5.

To wit:

"The nature of the emergency derives from 70% of the adults and 40% of the children in New Mexico having consumed methanol and formaldehyde, the resultant metabolites from their ingestion of aspartame. The conditions that cause the emergency are the fact that the G.D. Searle Corporation ramrodded the approval of this illegal drug through the United States Food and Drug Administration in 1981 as a 'food additive.' It is now found in over 6,000 food products and over 600 children's medications, vitamins, and aspirin." "The expected duration of the emergency is more than thirty days necessary to prevent further instances of methanol/formaldehyde poisoning, and will end when all products containing aspartame, a poisonous and deleterious food additive are removed from sale in New Mexico in accordance with statutes in the New Mexico Food act."

Richardson has been requested by the 10 Senators to recognize aspartame disease as a public health emergency on February 13, 2006.

The Senators include Judiciary Chairman, Cisco Mc Sorley; Indian Affairs Chairman, John Pinto, Navajo; Rules Chair, Linda Lopez; Conservation Chairman, Carlos Cisneros, Finance Committee Vice Chair, John Arthur Smith; Corporations Committee, Bernadette Sanchez; Indian Affairs Vice Chairman, Lidio Rainaldi; Rules Vice Chair, John Grubesic; Gerald Ortiz y Pino, and Leonard Tsosie, Navajo.

Most of the New Mexico Legislators have been given copies of Cori Brackett's DVD, Sweet Misery, to educate them during the Interim before next Session for the New Mexico Legislature.
