I am pinging you to my posts #57 and #70. Can I get some input?

Desparate times require desperate actions.

As a general rule, recall does NOT apply to Senators and Representatives. They can only be removed by a 2/3rds vote of their own Houses. However,...

Arizona has a provision for recall in which federal officials can "pledge" that they will abide by the results of recalls conducted in that state. In such states, a recall effort against Senators and Representatives IS possible, and should be pursued as promptly as possible.

There is a two-rail shot available in some of the other states. In those which have the initiative for constitutional change, the effort should be to 1) establish an Arizona-type recall for Congress, and 2) having established that, use it against Members who are voting wrong on illegal immigration.

Normally, a citizen effort to establish something procedural, like recall for Congress, would be too esoteric to get the attention of talk radio, citizens organizations, and talk radio, for instance. But when you couple the process with the subject of the ultimate target -- illegal immigration -- it could work.

Hope these comments on the nexus between process and policy are useful to you.
