New Mexico was one of six states targeted, as early as 2006 by the Proteus Fund, a group of left-wing entities. In their effort to takeover the state, “progressives” targeted both Republicans and Moderate Democrats. They succeeded in defeating three Republican state senators and three representatives as well as two Democrat senators and one representative. The “progressives” gained control of the New Mexico House of Representatives and won several battles in large part by the use of their “educational” and “good government” foundations.
The “Report on Six Emerging Collaborative State Projects” is a report compiled by the State Strategies Fund and funded by the Proteus Fund. In this report you will read about the left-wing plan to advance a liberal agenda in New Mexico and defeat conservative candidates through the use of nonprofit organizations—which use their nonprofit status to circumvent disclosure laws.
The report notes that “Many state organizations that began as pressure groups to advance progressive values found themselves out-organized, out-funded and entirely on defense by an onslaught of well coordinated attacks from the right.” (Report pg. 1) Meanwhile, here in New Mexico, the goal of the “progressive” movement is to “…shape the electoral battlefield” and recruit “…new potential candidates and campaign staffers…” The “progressive” agenda is clear: “… [To] aggressively educate and persuade likely voters with their policies, values and messages.” (Report pg. 6)
