Merry Christmas to the residents of the 23rd State Senate district!
On behalf of my wife Donelle and myself, I would like to wish you and all of your loved ones a very merry Christmas and a very happy new year! Let us all remember the reason why we celebrate Christmas which is the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and his life and sacrifice and perfect example of love and charitable service to his fellow men. Let us all pray that next year will prove a year of positive conservative change for New Mexico and the United States of America.
You know, its sad, but my three daughters attending a Bernalillo County public school are not even allowed to wish their friends a merry Christmas anymore. Christmas parties and nativity scenes have been banned from our schools for friends of offending the less than 30% of our citizens who are of a different faith many of whom have no religion whatsoever even though Christmas has long been a national holiday celebrated by people of all religious faiths and people of no particular faith. Our children are not even allowed to draw pictures of the nativity scene or religious symbols. If you elect me as your next State Senator, I promise to fight to restore a greater degree of religious freedom to our public schools for people of all faiths including our Christian majority. I also pledge to fight to increase choice so that children of low and middle income families in this state can attend private schools in order to improve the quality of their education and prospects of their success.
This past week, I heard in the news that our public schools are abandoning abstinence only education because a study showed that “it doesn’t work.” It seems that they are going back to teaching a form of sex education which teaches that the only consequences to sexual promiscuity are sexually-transmitted diseases and pregnancy which can only be avoided by birth control rather than abstinence despite the harmful emotional and other effects of teenage sexual activity, pregnancy, teenage childbirth, abortion, etc. Yet alternative lifestyles which are objectionable to most of the parents of our school districts are taught to all of our children forcing them to be indoctrinated with non-traditional “values” in opposition to those held by their parents. Other parents who object feel compelled to take them out of the public school system altogether and spend time and money they cannot afford to expend on private schools and home schooling their kids.
Unfortunately, the truth is that our schools have become value-free zones where morality is not taught but eschewed. Is there any wonder that violent crime, drug use and teenage sexual activity is continuing to increase along with our high school drop out rate. If you elect me to serve you in the State Senate, I will fight to restore moral values to our schools and abstinence-only education.
Finally, under the “No Child Left Behind” federal legislation, most of our schools have been classified as failed schools because an insufficient percentage of our students are passing mandatory test. My children attend one of those “failed public schools.” I believe it is wrong to classify a school as failed and thus stigmatize every student who attends it. If you elect me next year I promise to fight to work with our congressional dedication to get them to amend or repeal the No Child Left Behind bill to allow states to exempt themselves from part or all of it without losing federal grant money.
Best regards,
David Pyne

POLITICAL ACTIVIST TO RUN FOR STATE SENATE
Rio Rancho Observer, 12-9-07
http://www.observer-online.com/articles/2007/12/09/news/bnews8.txt
David Pyne, a former United States Army officer, conservative Republican activist, local attorney and resident of the Paradise Hills community in northwest Albuquerque, is running to fill the vacancy created by State Sen. Joe Carraro’s announced decision to run for Congress.
Pyne had good words for Carraro.
“I would like to personally commend Sen. Joe Carraro for his long and distinguished record of service to the people of the 23rd State Senate District,” he said.
He currently works for Honeywell Aerospace in their Law and Contracts Department. Pyne spent six and a half years working in a number of capacities in the defense industry in the Washington, D.C. area prior to relocating to Albuquerque a few years ago.
Over the past several years, he has served in a number of state and county Republican Party positions, most recently as a Ward Chairman for the Bernalillo County GOP. Pyne is also a member of the Republican National Committee, the Center for Emerging National Security Affairs, the National Contract Management Association, the American Legion, the Association of the United States Army, the Military Officers Association of America, Gun Owners of America and the National Rifle Association.
He received a Bachelors of Arts from Brigham Young University with minors in international relations and history in 1992 and is a 1995 graduate of Southwestern University School of Law. In 2000, he graduated from Georgetown University’s prestigious School of Foreign Service and received a Master of Arts degree in National Security Studies. Previously, he served a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Sao Paulo, Brazil from 1988-1990.
Pyne has been married to his wife, Donelle, for 12 years and they are the proud parents of four beautiful daughters—Christina age 11, Kathryn, 7, Caitlin, 6, and Ashley, 4.
“I believe I am the strongest candidate in the race to replace Senator Joe Carraro. Once elected to the State Senate, I will fight to improve education, promote job-growth, secure our southern border and bring honesty and integrity to Santa Fe,” Pyne said.
