Since Colorado has done the impossible, I'm challenging people in anti-gun states to do the same. I know for a fact that CA has a recall option.
No lame ass excuses. All you have to do is do it. Two nobody's initiated the Colorado thing. I bet this thread will have no more than 20 posts. Prove me wrong. |

Quoted:
With the redistricting we just had, and the way the districts are gerrymandered in favor of the dems, a recall here would be a waste of time and money. Our hopes are in the courts. I don't know if you are correct or not, but that is exactly what was said here in CO prior to the initiation of the recalls. |

Quoted:
until this is done regularly, the career politicians won't care. this has to be done. You can lead a horse to water... This thread will explain why anti-gun states are anti-gun. I tried to get people fired up when I lived in CA. All they want is their Starbucks, and bullet buttons. Fucking sickening. |

I was saying the same thing back then. I stand gratefully corrected. With that said, none of my legislators (with the exception of John McCain ) are in need of any recall.

I'd love nothing more than to be the mother fucker that kicked off a movement that got Steve Sweeney recalled. Read this. Written by a liberal, but it is all about running and winning a low cost local campaign.

Why is that faggot exempt? I think he is saying McCain is the only one who needs to be recalled from his state. |

Perhaps CO was not as far "gone" as Calif is. That is debateable. The point being made here imho is that what you are doing over there does not seem to be working very well, and perhaps you should look to other states for realistic ideas to fight the issues you have there, rather than make analogys.
I agree with James 100%. You have an entire country of brothers that will assist you, as they did here in CO. But we cannot do it all for you; the initiative must come from within. Is it difficult to make an impact sometimes? Well, yeah; usually. The biggest gains are usually the result of the hardest work. If you are not up to the challenge..........ummmmm. |

Why is that faggot exempt? Federal legislators are protected from recall. McCain is staying until the next election. End of story. |

Pretty sure recalls are on the agenda if attempts to sweet talk Brown into vetoing these bills fail. Apparently the focus will be on the newer Democrat reps who voted for this BS; the ones located in purple districts.
My rep just voted for this bullshit. She can FOAD. When Bonta mysteriously pulled the registered assault weapons confiscation portion of his bill earlier this year (AB174), followed by the passing of the ridiculous SB374 which now expands the category of assault weapon to include ALL centerfire, semi-auto, detachable mag rifles, It doesn't take a genius to see what is coming next. If you're going to register your firearm as a result of SB374 becoming law, you might as well just sell it, that way you at least get some money out of it. I hear rumors of non-compliance, but they are only rumors... |

FYI, if you live in one of the following states your state already has provisions for handling a recall election:
Alaska Arizona California Colorado Georgia Idaho Illinois Kansas Louisiana Michigan Minnesota Montana Nevada New Jersey North Dakota Oregon Rhode Island Washington Wisconsin |

We don't have recall for the legislature or governor, local officials only. Quoted:

True, but we could use the same tactics the Dems used when they wanted to recall Kasich over the public union crap. They introduced a bill to allow recalls of statewide officials, they just didn't have the votes in a Republican controlled statehouse. And Im guessing the states that are in the same boat as Ohio (no recalls of state officials) probably don't have the votes to pass a bill allowing recalls. I just want to ditch the 30 rounder law.

I'm not a fan of recalls...no matter what side I'm on. Huge waste of resources.
Few years ago the libs in Wisconsin were gunning hard to bring down our Republican governor. Their highly marketed efforts were met with glorious failure. However, some legislators got hit and lost the recalls, but luckily it failed to swing the majority. It was all over a single issue: Public sector unions Union Libs, of course, have the biggest mouths and ability to mobilize and thus launch recall efforts. This is unfortunate and why I believe recalls ultimately will benefit those people. Recall lections are then 'non-standard' and generally attract only those voters have a very strong position in the fight. Hence why recalls are generally successful. I found it interesting that in WI's recall, many people didn't really give a shit about the public sector unions, they just felt it unfair to boot a politician. They felt he should serve out his term and then let the voters decide. In this case the only reason these people showed up was because of the constant buzz the libs were pumping into the media stream. If they would have put this recall on the downlow, I'd bet they would have been successful. |

You might do well to recall your fucking Governor before you start running your mouth. 
Sure, you did well with the low hanging fruit but until you get shed of your Governor with a recall you really can't talk shit. |

As far as the guys that did most of the work, I guess I am bragging. Your state is on the brink, keep insulting me while it goes under. Lame ass excuse #4. ETA: Senate president is #2 in the state under the governor. Hardly insignificant. |
