SANTA FE — Democratic presidential hopeful Bill Richardson has a Christmas wish for some of the state government employees in his administration: pack your bags and head to Iowa.
The two-term governor is asking governmental appointees and other state employees to volunteer to help his campaign by traveling to Iowa before the Jan. 3 leadoff presidential contest
Several of the governor's top administrators already have hit the campaign trail in Iowa and New Hampshire. Others plan to be in Iowa for the critical final days before the caucus.

New Mexico Ping let me know if you want off this list
Guess I sould really put the list in before hitting enter.
Is there no equivalent to the Hatch Act in New Mexico law ?
That’s the kind of request that gets other governors investigated or kicked out of office.
Are they being PAID by taxpayers to do THIS?
Is this one a DEMONCRAT?
Is this legal?
Jimmy Carter did the same thing with Federal employees in 1980 when running for re-election.
Are they being PAID by taxpayers to do THIS?
Is this one a DEMONCRAT?
Never mind ...
He’s a DEMONCRAT.
It figures! Imagine the outcry, if a REPUBLICAN would ask for this!
I have stated several times before that because of the many lies and criminal acts of Hillary, she will implode!
William Blaine Richardson III will ride to the Clinton’s
side, to keep the Clinton traitors and thugs in power.
Ummm...you don’t.
But you have to understand - Richardson is just asking the state workers to do the job ORDINAIRY Americans just won’t do.
According to the rest of the article, which cannot be completly published here, they will have to take leave and pay for expenses out of their pocket. Now I will bet King Bill will find a way to pay them.
"Who's on First"?
I don't know, but there is a town called Hatch down near Las Cruces. Does that help?
;^)
If this is not illegal, it should be.
Unbelievable. No wonder these guys feel they can do whatever it take to keep propped up in power. Hugo-like isn’t it?
And these Clinanoids gave the Chinese all those secrets. At least, I hope Bill, Bubba, AlGore and Bernie Swartz got enough for them.
Who’s going to be minding the store while these clowns are out campaigning? Is the Richardson campaign going to reimburse the state for the value of their salaries and bebefits and pay for their travel expanses ?
But...but...but, won't depriving the state of its best and brightest self-sacrificing civil servants still short-change the state?
Either they will have to endure having only second-tier patrons doing the jobs; or, worse, not have anyone filling these indispensable posts!
It's hard to say "no" when he has your signed but undated letter of resignation on file in the governor's office.
