“The reason I support Pearce is his consistent pro-life, pro-family and pro-business voting record,” Strickler said in a release. “Congressman Pearce has a great deal of experience in the energy industry, which is so vital to our corner of the state. Pearce recognizes that excessive regulation can ‘kill the golden goose.’”

I am sure Congressman Pearce will receive the endorsement of less chicken prairie lovers! Pearce, the friend of the oil industry, was praised recently for his sponsorship of the obnoxious Lesser Prairie Chicken National Habitat Preservation Area Act of 2007. This legislation which pretends to protect the habitat for the lesser prairie chicken will do the species more harm than good. The lesser prairie chicken has suffered serious declines in parts of its range in parts of New Mexico.
The planning area for this bill covers 1.8 million acres in Roosevelt, Chaves, Eddy and Lea counties. Pearce's plan opens more than 800,000 acres to new oil and gas leasing — more than 70 percent of existing prairie chicken in the four-county area. It will allow oil and gas development on nearly 5,000 acres where the animals exist.
The prairie chicken is probably headed for extinction. Congressman Pearce has exploited a conservation matter for his oil friends. This is not a Western value. How long will New Mexicans put up with these antics? As President and rancher,Teddy Roosevelt stated: "our natural resources should be not exploited by the few against the interests of the many".
