Phone Calls Needed to New Mexico Governor Richardson
Posted by: Toby McLeod

Activists won a huge victory in October 2003 when citizens of Albuquerque voted down a street bond measure by a 55-45% margin (see below). This vote ensured that there would be no money available for the construction of Paseo Del Norte and Unser Blvd., which threaten to bisect Petroglyph National Monument. Now, New Mexico State Senator Joseph Carraro is mounting a campaign to get Governor Bill Richardson to fund the construction of Paseo Del Norte. Calls are needed to Gov. Richardson to ask him to oppose the funding for the Paseo Del Norte road. Please call Governor Richardson today at 505-476-2200. Tell him to oppose funding for a road through the petroglyphs! Native American religious values and beliefs should be respected in the state of New Mexico.
