Gov. Richardson Seeks Input on Whether to Approve Death Penalty Abolition

By Jeralyn

As mentioned earlier, the New Mexico legislature has voted to repeal the death penalty. Gov. Bill Richardson hasn't decided whether to sign it. He's asking for input.

Please take 30 seconds and tell Gov. Richardson to sign the bill. Via David Seth at Daily Kos:

Here's the number: (505) 476-2225. The number will record your request. There is no human being on the phone, just a recorder.

If you are near Santa Fe, the Governor is holding meetings with the public tomorrow from 2:30 to 5, first come-first serve...you get five minutes with him to tell him your position.
