New Mexico is on the verge of abolishing the death penalty. The bill has passed the House and Senate, and is now on Gov. Bill Richardson’s desk. He has until Wednesday at midnight to either veto or sign abolition into law, and he’s requested to hear public opinion on the issue as he considers his decision. We all have a chance to let the Governor know how we feel about the issue and why abolition is so important — it doesn’t matter what state you’re from. There are three ways to get this message across:<\/p>\n

1) Vote in the online poll at the Albuquerque Journal (which has actively opposed abolition):

2) Call the hotline set up by the Governor to weigh in on abolition:
\n505-476-2225
\nLet them know you SUPPORT HB-285!<\/p>\n

3) Send the Governor an email through his website:
\nhttp:\/\/www.governor.state.nm.us\/email.php?mm=6&type=opinion<\/span><\/a>
\nUrge him to support and sign HB-285!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
