Text of Congressman Tom Udall's prepared remarks:

Thank you. My name is Tom Udall and I will be the next Senator from New Mexico because George Bush economics are crushing the American middle class … and Democrats are going to make the economy work again for all Americans.

Just a reminder, Tom Udall is speaking this afternoon at the convention. The times are a little fuzzy, but he'll be there between 4:45 and 6PM Mountain.

We'd love to hear what you think - so text the word HEAR to MyTOM (that is 69866 if you want to use numbers) and we'll send you an alert right before he speaks - then get your response afterwords.

There were a couple of storiesI wanted to post today, one about the End of Tour Rally in Las Vegas on Sunday and coverage of Tom speaking with farmers at Los Poblanos yesterday. Enjoy! Now, I need to go get some coffee...

"Udall campaigns in Las Vegas" - Las Vegas Optic

Tom Udall ended his two-week “Doing Right By New Mexico Tour” in his campaign for U.S. senator with a rally in Las Vegas.

The "Doing Right by New Mexico Tour" officially concluded yesterday up in Las Vegas at great rally hosted by the Rialto Restaurant in Old Town. Over 200 local folks came out to meet Tom and Ben Ray Lujan, eat some AMAZING green chile stew (which I really needed because of my alergies) and posole, and hear some great music.

Here's what Tom had to say about Joe Biden's selection as Barack Obama's running mate. He actually called our press people with the statement about 1AM Saturday morning, but your friendly, neighborhood bloggers were nestled all snug in their beds. Sorry about the delay on that.

This picture just about says it all.

Tom dropped by East Picacho Elementary in Las Cruces yesterday to meet folks there. Doòa Ana county does, indeed, love Tom. The cafeteria was a surprisingly good venue for one-on-one conversations, and had very interesting art on the walls.

Following the Edgewood BBQ, we headed out to Joseph's Restaurant on Rt. 66 in Santa Rosa for some iced tea and a town hall with community leaders and concerned citizens. Congressman Udall spoke passionately on issues ranging from the Iraq War to Energy Independence, at one point declaring his belief that New Mexico has the environment and the talent to become "the Saudi Arabia of Solar and Wind".

Well, Pearce's Washington cronies are at it again. As I am sure that you have read elsewhere, The Club for Growth has put down a sizeable buy to slam Tom on a number of things.

Naturally, since the ad is from the Club for Growth, you know it isn't exactly trustworthy (for more on the issues, take a look at LP's post).

Another whirlwind tour day today, with stops in Edgewood, Santa Rosa, and Clovis. Our first event of the day was held at the Edgewood Elementary School where Congressman Udall met with community leaders, veterans, and concerned citizens.
