Recalls are not recognized by the U.S. Senate. The idea started in the 1890s and is not in the U.S. Constitution. People in LA like Landrieu or they would not have elected her once as treasurer and three times as senator, plus state representative service. They think she “brings home the federal bacon”.
I don’t live in LA so I don’t have a say in the matter but it sure would be nice if that did and I would donate to the effort.
Recalling Mary?
...good luck with that...
“...Louisiana law requires signatures of a third
of the voters in last year’s election...”
-
That sounds a bit odd to me.
A person can get elected by 50% of the voters
and then get recalled by 33% of the voters?
Group Says It Will Seek Cao Recall In Federal Courts
NEW ORLEANS -- After being rebuffed by state law, a group says it will pursue its effort to recall U.S. Rep. Joseph Cao in federal court.
The petition drive was started by two black ministers only weeks after Cao took office in January. But on Tuesday, the group says Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell said state law does not permit recalls of federal officials.
The voters who sent her to Washington probably think she is one smart cookie and would be more likely to elect her Senator for life than recall her.
Maybe we could rent “Kenyan-Klod-O-Corn” [tm] workers, a subsidiary of ACORN.
They’ll do anything for money and drugs.
Sign something 100s of times? No problem (if you help them form the letters).
Vote lots? Yup, if you show them how to make an “X”, keep them in liquor, and drive them to multiple voting points.
The war is coming, democrats.
The problem is, it’s not a personal bribe. It’s hundreds of millions of pork for Louisiana. And not just for the state, but for all the people in the state.
If Obamacare passes, everyone in Louisiana will pay less than in any other state.

I used to live in Louisiana, and from what I remember, it’s extremely difficult to do this...but I wish them well.
Going, going, gone----S=O=L=D----for $300 million.
With all that govt money in her offshore account, maybe
Landrieu'll do something about that ugly retro hair of hers.
REFERENCE A largely overlooked provision in Reid's bill sends $100 million to Louisiana to cover Medicaid "for the poor." Plus $200 Million for Katrina costs. Louisiana's Mary Landrieu (posing as a holdout) said, with the 8 pm vote looming: "I've decided that there are enough significant reforms and safeguards in this bill to move forward." (Duh)
Landrieu voted "for the poor." Now she can flaunt her "tolerance and compassion." (/snic).
CALL CONGRESS TOLL FREE Capitol switchboard: 800-965-4701----800-828-0498------- 877-762-8762
Ask your Congressman/woman what he/she received in exchange for supporting ObamaCare.
If this was done in private business or an American company buying off a foreign political office for a sale - it would be against the law.
Well...its is citizens acting responsibly....
It would legally require a Constitutional Amendment to recall federal officeholders, otherwise it is forbidden.
This is a great idea, but I question whether the La law for recall applies to a US senator. It refers to a “state” official.
Now would this be great or what....I am sure enough signatures can be obtained since LA is mostly a conservative state.
Recalled!? She ought to be PROSECUTED.
