 NEW MEXICO SENATE PASSED THE DEATH PENALTY REPEAL MEASURE National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (ncadp@mail.democracyinaction.org) Sent: Saturday, 14 March 2009 7:58:30 AM Just a few minutes ago, the New Mexico Senate passed the death penalty repeal measure, by a vote of 24 to 18. Upon being signed into law, capital offenders will be punished with life without parole. Congratulations to everyone in New Mexico and supporters everywhere who worked tirelessly to get the bill passed. Now we wait for the signing. Stay tuned!

| Re: NEW MEXICO SENATE PASSED THE DEATH PENALTY REPEAL MEASURE Governor Richardson Signed the bill yesterday the 18th of march . New Mexico no longer has a DP ! Other states are considering doing away with it not out of compassion but because of cost how sad .

| Re: NEW MEXICO SENATE PASSED THE DEATH PENALTY REPEAL MEASURE I don't care the reasoning why other states will no longer have the Death Penalty, just glad in the end sense prevails, even if it only comes down to the mighty $$$$. Lets spend the $$$ on the communities and those within. Hoping we may stop many going to prison through better living conditions, education, hospitals, mental health, schools, outreach programs, etc, etc. Too much has been poured into building up the prison system and not building up the people for too long.

| Re: NEW MEXICO SENATE PASSED THE DEATH PENALTY REPEAL MEASURE Just thought I would update you all on this. There seems to be a story in the paper or on one of the local news programs about this quite frequently. There are still groups out there that want the death penalty put back on the books. Dont know how far it will go. It is sweeps time in US and the news must keep their ratings high. One of the few thing the Governor did that was good for the state. Robert
