1:05pm UPDATE: Keegan King, director of the nonprofit organization New Mexico Youth Organized -- the group that sent out fliers critical of state Sen. Leonard Lee Rawson, R-N.M., listing Rawson's home phone number -- told ABQjournal.com that while the number wasn't listed on the Legislature's Web site, it was available through New Mexico Legislative Reports, a paid subscription site.

Rawson, King told us, is one of only a dozen or so lawmakers not to list his home phone number on the public site.

And why did you list the home number on the flier that was critical of Rawson's stance on ethics reform during the 2007 Legislature?

"We wanted his constituents to call him," King told ABQjournal.com. "It seemed like the best way to get hold of him."

King also told us there was no collaboration with Steve Fischmann, Rawson's Democratic opponent in the November general election, as Rawson has claimed on his Web site.

"I didn't even know who (his opponent) was until I read about it" in the Las Cruces Sun-News, King told us.

Republican state Sen. Leonard Lee Rawson of Las Cruces said he's upset about a political flier being mailed throughout his district from an Albuquerque nonprofit group critical of his campaign-reform actions because it lists his home phone number, the Las Cruces Sun-News reported.

The mailer (pdf download), sent out by New Mexico Youth Organized, criticizes Rawson's action against a campaign-reform bill in 2007 that would have placed limits on donations to lawmakers, the Sun-News said.

During debate on the bill, Rawson -- the Senate minority whip -- added an amendment that would have postponed the legislation's effective date for a thousand years, the paper reported.

The amendment was later stripped from the bill, and the bill eventually died.

But New Mexico Youth Organized didn't think Rawson's action was funny, calling it "monkey business" in the mailer, the Sun-News said.

And Rawson doesn't think putting his home phone number on the mailer is any laughing matter, either.

"Sometime extremist people take extreme action, and that endangers your family," Rawson told the Sun-News, saying he has been getting calls from out-of-state residents because of the mailer.

On his own Web site and in a phone interview with the Sun-News, Rawson blamed Steve Fischmann of Las Cruces, his Democratic opponent in the November general election, for being behind the mailer.

Fischmann told the Sun-News he didn't collaborate with New Mexico Youth Organized or fund the mailer and wasn't even aware of the flier until he got one in the mail.

Keegan King, director of New Mexico Youth Organized, said the mailer was part of a campaign aimed at exposing the voting records of lawmakers in advance of next month's special legislative session and was not connected to the election or Fischmann at all, the Sun-News said.

King said the mailings include contact information available from the Legislature's own Web site and that there was no effort to send mailers to out-of-state residents, the paper reported.

Rawson's home phone number, however, is not listed on the Legislature's Web page for the lawmaker.
