Letters to the Governor

As HB 576 moves through the Senate and gets closer to the Governor
Richardson's desk, it is important that the governor continues to hear from
repeal supporters in the form of a personal letter. Even if you have already
written Governor Richardson, please take a moment to contact him again and
urge him to support HB 576 if it reaches his desk.

Governor Richardson maintains that he supports capital punishment with
appropriate safeguards in place. Please continue to emphasize our victims'
services proposal, the ineffective use of state resources, as well as the
lack of guaranteed safeguads against the unjust application of the death
penalty.


Write Governor Richardson at:
Office of the Governor
Capitol Building, Room 400
Santa Fe, NM 87501


Letters to the Editor

With all of our outstanding press coverage, there are many opportunities to
WRITE WRITE WRITE!

Show the public that the citizens of New Mexico support repeal and that we
are united behind our VICTIMS' FIRST legislation. Letters to the editor will
be most effective with senators and the Gov. Richardson if they highlight
New Mexico's unique position to support victims while repealing the death
penalty.

We would like to have original newspaper clippings from any press coverage
in your area. Please send original articles, op-eds, and letters to the
editor to our office at:

NMCRDP
PO Box 8552
Santa Fe, NM 87504


Don't Forget to Call and Thank Our House Supporters,
Especially the Five Republicans:
Justine Fox-Young, Brian Moore, Teresa Zanetti, Dub Williams, and Larry
Larranaga

AND AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR BEING A VITAL PART OF THIS MOVEMENT!
