THIS IS SOMETHING MABELKITTY POSTED; Perhaps we should call (213) 382-4111 ASAP with various locations ourselves, afterall apparently dishonestly frustrating your opponent is part of the political process.
saw this creepy bit of fascism on DUmpster Diving.
*These are paid petitioners bought by rethuglican Issa's four million plus dollars (his money) campaign for governor.

Watch for Petition Collectors
• As you go about your daily routines (driving to and from work, shopping, going to the movies, the doctor, etc.), keep your eyes open for recall petitioners at all times.
• The most important thing you can do is provide us feedback about where and when signature gathering efforts are occurring, call us at (213) 382-4111.
Engage the Petition Collectors - If you see recall petitioners, here's what to do:
• Engage them in conversation; the longer they talk to you, the less time they have to collect signatures, they have a limited period of time to collect over 1 million signatures.
• Ask what petitions they are carrying.
• It is important to determine if they are only carrying the recall petitions or if they also have the anti-recall petition and others.
• If they tell you they have the "Save Our Teachers" or "Evaluate the Recall Process" petition, ask them to show it to you.
• Note: There is no "Save Our Teachers" petition. This is our anti-recall petition. The signature collector is "double dipping." They are trying to get people to sign both the recall and the anti-recall petitions so they can make more money.
• Remember, the longer you engage them, the fewer signatures they can collect.
• Do not attempt to provoke or get into a physical confrontation with signature gatherers. We do not want you to be arrested.
Take Action
• Complain to the store manager. Tell the manager you are a customer and you are offended by being harassed as you enter their store. Tell the manager you will take your business elsewhere.
• Do not falsely sign a petition. This is against the law.
• If you like to "mix it up," it is OK to debate or argue with the signature gatherer.
• Counter them with the anti-recall petition; it is OK to stand in front of their table or approach potential signers before they do, or otherwise inhibit their activity.
• Distribute the "Who's Behind the Recall" leaflet.
• Approach potential signers and ask them if they know who is behind the recall: remind them that it is a bunch of right-wing conservative Republicans, like Darrell Issa and Bill Simon, who can't win an election fairly; they are trying to overturn a legal and fairly conducted election.
REPORT RECALL ACTIVITY TO OUR HOTLINE - ASAP!
