Recall is one of the more expensive forms of meaningless political protest. A lot of money is spent; political capital used up; and words blathered ~ and very few of them work, or work soon enough to have any effect.

There are other ways to drive people from office who need to be driven away, and the system gives you another election in anywhere from 2 to 4 years.

True but that gives them cover for 2 to 4 years. One of the main problems is that these yahoos use "the government" or "Congress" to hide in the numbers. We need to find a way to single them out.

I think one reason our voices were heard during Obamacare (I know, heard but not listened to) was the individual attention given to Senators and particularly Reps. I think we need to do the same thing with local, if your guys are considering a gun bill get a list out of who's on board.
