An important correction — and new letters to send

{{first_name|Friend}},

I need to start today's update with a correction.

In yesterday's email, we shared photos and contact information identifying Del Norte Concrete & Masonry as actively connected to the Las Cruces facility. After further investigation, we have learned something important:

There are two separate companies sharing nearly identical names.

The contact information we shared yesterday was for the El Paso company in error. We sincerely apologize to Mark Meek, his family, and his employees for the confusion and for any inconvenience caused by calls or messages they received.

We have included a thank-you letter to Del Norte Masonry of El Paso in today's updated letter pack. If you mailed or called yesterday, please take a moment to mail a thank-you today. And if you or someone you know needs concrete blocks or masonry materials in the El Paso area, please consider supporting his business.

This is the kind of company we want to lift up.

Please download the new packet (Google Doc | Word | PDF) and mail what you can this week. It now includes:

1. Petition letters to every remaining confirmed company still actively engaged in the project — including Del Norte Construction LLC of Albuquerque.

2. Thank-you letters to the three companies that have already walked away after learning what they were really helping to build, and a special thank-you letter to Del Norte Masonry of El Paso — for standing publicly with the pro-life community.

3. New preemptive letters to local sand suppliers.

That last category is critical, and I want to explain why.

Concrete cannot be poured without sand. And concrete is the turning point in this fight. If concrete stops, everything stops. Once concrete is poured, construction will accelerate rapidly — which is exactly why the abortion industry is pushing so hard to get it down before December 31.

So we are getting ahead of them.

Before sand contracts are finalized for this facility, we are writing to every local sand supplier in the region — respectfully, charitably, and clearly — to warn them about what is actually being built behind MountainView Children's Center. The site plans still describe it only as a "new outpatient medical center." Many subcontractors, as we have now learned three times over, truly did not know the truth. Sand suppliers deserve the chance to know before they sign.

And the truth is becoming harder for the project's organizers to hide.

The construction permit lists this project only as a "new outpatient medical clinic" — never mentioning abortion, never mentioning gender procedures, never mentioning the $10 million in taxpayer funding behind it. Public records have been unusually difficult to obtain. Contractors, architects, and design teams have not been announced publicly the way they typically are for a project of this scale. The information has been kept quiet — and that quietness is exactly why your letters and phone calls land with such weight when they finally reach a subcontractor's desk. You are often the first person telling them the truth.

That is why what we do this week matters so much.

The updated packet is ready (Google Doc | Word | PDF). Print, sign, and mail what you can this week. Even one envelope makes a difference.

We've put together a short video showing updated footage from the construction site to help you understand exactly what is happening on the ground — and what your letters are accomplishing. Watch here »

Prayer is our first and most powerful weapon. Our faithful presence on the sidewalk is also how we monitor progress, identify contractors actively working on the project, document developments in real time, and uncover information that would otherwise remain hidden — including most of what we have been able to share with you in these emails. If you are in the area, please sign up for an hour. Sign up to pray »

In just the eight days since we publicly named the contractors on the May 14 webcast, three companies have walked away — some absorbing real financial loss, at least one hiring an attorney at their own expense to terminate their contract. That has never happened on this project before. It is happening now because of you.

Every delay buys time. And every additional month brings us closer to the end of the governor's term — when, as Senator Gallegos shared, all three Republican candidates for governor have pledged to redirect this $10 million toward a real, authentic, pro-life women's health center for southern New Mexico. That future is achievable. But it depends on what we do this week.

P.S. — If you have a personal connection to anyone at Del Norte Construction of Albuquerque — including the parish community at Our Lady of the Annunciation Catholic Church, where Project Manager Patrick Aragon may be a parishioner — please pray about whether the Lord is calling you to make that conversation. One personal call from a fellow parishioner is worth more than every letter combined. Download the updated letter pack at StopTheCenter.com »
