"If you are only a naysayer, get out of the way."

I offered my good luck. Can you tell me when there was a successful recall effort at this level? I can't remember a governor being ousted 3.5 months after election by recall efforts.

I'd sign the petition too, if I lived in California. I'm still skeptical though. By the way, who will be the replacement candidate, candidates?

Hello! My understanding is that the California recall law has never be invoked before so what a good case to test with!

The timing depends on a number of factors. Once the intent to recall petition has been submitted to the Secretary of State, we have 160 days to collect 897,156 valid signatures, which represents 12% of the number of voters who turned out to vote for governor during the last gubernatorial election.

As for replacements, we shall see hopefully!

I'm with long term on this one. 900,000 certainly isn't unattainable for this Gov who has less that 30% approval. This will go across party line. If you are skeptical, get out of the way and let the Californians try.

When is there a rally in LA? I'd love to do my part.
