Journal Op-Ed: ‘Deport Criminal Illegals’

From The Albuquerque Journal, Oct. 3, 2007

By Allen Weh
Chairman, Republican Party of New Mexico
The New Mexico Republican Party has chosen to challenge Mayor Martin Chávez’s recent change to policy that prevents police officers from determining the legal status of criminal suspects in all but the most serious of criminal acts.
Astonishingly, the mayor’s policy change occurred on the heels of the recent murders in Newark, N.J., that were carried out by two illegal immigrants who had had prior brushes with the law. In view of this nonsensical policy, Republicans have stood up on behalf of the public safety of this community. Continue reading

2010: The year for Republican businessmen

I couldn’t agree more with The Washington Post‘s Chris Cillizza — Americans want leaders with business expertise.

Early returns in governors’ and Senate races across the country show men and women who have spent their entire lives in the private sector making significant gains in their first runs for office…. A few common threads run through the campaigns: a message that sending the same people to Washington won’t produce different results and a significant outlay of personal money.

Commissioning the USS New Mexico

I was in our nation’s capital this weekend, and I was fortunate enough to witness the commissioning of the USS New Mexico at a great ceremony in Norfolk, Va. You might notice me in the photo, albeit out of focus. Read the Journal’s coverage here.

Cindy Giambastiani, the ship’s sponsor, gave the order — “Officers and crew of the USS New Mexico, man our ship and bring her to life!” — and the crew ran into place along the top of the partially submerged submarine signaling that its seagoing days were at hand.

Endorsement letter from Lorraine Torrez

I am a life-long democrat who is now middle aged,  and I will be supporting Allen Weh in this governor’s race. Allen is an honest man who will not stop working until he fixes this state. As someone who is now unemployed and feeling the stress of this economic storm, I want a governor who can bring back jobs to this state and get New Mexico back on its feet. Continue reading

Endorsement letter for Democrat Vidal Trujillo

Ever since I first registered to vote, I have voted strictly Democrat. This is the first year I will be breaking that tradition and voting for a Republican: Allen Weh. After doing research and learning about this man, I was utterly amazed. From his college days to his days in Vietnam and the company he started from the ground, I can’t find one thing Allen has failed at. Continue reading

Endorsement letter from Democrat Elias Sisneros

I am a life-long Democrat who is supporting Allen Weh 100 percent. I’m not a person who votes party line. I vote on my morals and my beliefs. This year, I will be proud to cast my ballot for Col. Weh. He has proven that he is a man of integrity and courage — someone who will fight to the end to make New Mexico a brighter and better place for future generations.
