Maybe some FReepers can refresh my memory. In 2001 I recall that there was quite a substantial effort to petition the recall of John McCain as Senator. Once 9-11 occurred, it was decided that for the sake of national unity and security priorities, the recall effort would be dropped. Anyone here have that memory? I know there were some FReepers who were leading the charge.
I remember signing the petition for his recall at the gun show.
My husband, Cyber Liberty, and I were part of that. But even before the recall got started, we were part of the group that protested his McCain/Daschle Summit.
Dittomom was the leader of the petition to recall McCain. There were a few unfortunate things that happened. A person (I can’t remember his name) started the recall, so we only had 90 days and his recall petition. Dittomom went on Hannity and Colmes later on that month and Hannity blasted her. She did not write the recall petition, but it was already out there.
Then his horrible cancer showed its face. Then 9/11. There was no hope for his recall. You have no idea how many folks in AZ wanted his recall. Couldn’t get around to have the petition signed by I can’t remember how many people before that 90-day period elapsed.
Cyber and I were at a biker bar getting petitions signed. Most of the bikers were Vietnam Vets. They hated McCain. Wonder why?
Dittomom can give you the whys and wherefors and numbers. We were out in 110-degree heat in a parking lot getting petitions signed. One of the radio stations here told everyone where to go to sign the petition.
