[John Jorsett]

The recall will never make it to the ballot. The democRATs control the state government in California. It doesn't matter how many signatures they turn in, the democRATs will find a way to disqualify enough to make sure that they fall under the required minimum. Count on it.

Maybe you're ready to give up, but I'm sure not. This is a struggle worthy of our efforts, and we will prevail. You can count on that.

Believe me, I wish you the best of luck. I just have no illusions about how demonRATs work.

First the recall proponents will have to go to court to make the secretary of state "count continuously, as required in the state law." If they win, the secretary of state will appeal. If they win all of the appeals, the secretary of state will assign 3 or 4 flunkies to count the signatures, one by one, on their fingers, but to do it continuously. So it will be back to court.

If the recall proponents win in court how ever many times it takes to get the signatures counted, the secretary of state will then throw out over half the signatures based on every possible objection the demonRATs can dream up. So its off to court again.

If the ballot proponents win at that stage, Grey-out Davis will file suit before his favorite handpicked judge to block the certification. Grey-out will win, of course, because he will pick his judge carefully. So its off to the appeals courts.

Grey-out's term will be up before the litigation is over.

Always remember the Floriduh demonRATs motto: "He who counts the votes wins the election."
