One Chance to Kill SB60 (Illegal Drivers Licenses), Says McClintock (CA FReeper Alert, PLEASE READ)

Okay, a little voice told me to put up this thread...
Since I heard Sen. McClintock explain this plan twice in two days, during two different radio station interviews, I thought it would be a good idea to synopsis it. (I think is an excellent idea.)

As we have all pretty much figured, the way to do something about the passage of the illegal alien driver's license law, which will be signed any moment by our traitorous, corrupt governor, lies in our "ruby slippers," our wonderful referendum process. According to McClintock, the California Republican Assembly (a group which endorsed him, and the largest of its kind in California), already is buzzing about a plan to challenge the new law "once Davis's pen hits the paper." I have already checked their website and found nothing as of yet; however, McClintock says as soon as he has more information it will be linked on his website. (Let's keep watching for this.)

Here's how it would work. Signatures on petitions would be gathered as with the recall; however, the good news is that he said only a relatively small number would be required. (Off the top of his head, McClintock didn't know the exact amount, but he thought only about 1/4 or 1/5 the amount required for the recall. It should be a lead pipe cinch to get this on this one, IMHO.)

Of course, the signatures need to be collected in the proper, legal manner - I don't have the details to post at this time, but we can get that info readily - and then appropriately forwarded. The good news, according to Sen. McClintock, is that as soon as they are collected and forwarded as required by law, this ridiculous new law MUST BE IMMEDIATELY STAYED UNTIL THE NEXT SCHEDULED ELECTION. That would be MARCH 2004 if we can get the signatures quickly enough. And remember, this idiotic law doesn't go into effect until Jan. 1, 2004. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could beat it to the punch entirely? Does anyone seriously have any doubts we'd knock this thing out in a referendum election?

Another thing, he mentioned that the CA Republican Assembly is not only talking about a referendum, but a possible lawsuit. He didn't give any more detail than that, though...this is all just at the beginning stages, naturally.

Anyway, I thought we could all use a little hope and a positive outlet for our righteous anger. We need to stick together and work positively to show these idiots that this is still OUR STATE, not theirs!

You sound like you know what you are talking about. Thank you for your valuable input.

Scroll down and you'll see a section to the High School Chapters. Odd, today when I click on the links for most of the CA high school chapters, they go to URL errors! What do they want to hide?

If McClintock becomes governor, I think this will be the beginning of the GOP's return to a Border Control Platform because McClintock will work to repeal the Illegal Licenses, and Reinstate Prop 187 if he becomes Governor.

Now c'mon, let's all call a truce for this one, okay?

Done.

McClintock is only in the thread because I heard the information from him, and I was wearing my "Truthkeeper, Girl Reporter" hat.

I wear many hats in my guise as a mild-mannered poster to FreeRepublic. One of them is cone-shaped, tapers to a point, and says "DUNCE".

[truthkeeper]

I heard Davis' pen hit the paper on KFI just now.

I'm listening to the same thing. John and Ken are going absolutely nuts and so am I. I'm going to try and get them to push this thing, we need their voices. Wish me luck!

Please stop being so divisive on this thread. You can say I owe you a favor if you wish.

[truthkeeper]

Thank you, strela...and bless you. Now let's get down to business!

[strela]

Please stop being so divisive on this thread.

Please respect the wishes of the originator of this thread and take your "request" to another thread.

[philetus]

Good for Colorado.

et tu strela?

You're welcome. I would have delved further but I didn't have Java installed on my Linux box and I'm about to log off for the evening.

*Ping*!

[ladyinred]

I am ready to throw them all out of Sacramento and start over aren't you?

[truthkeeper]

Please respect my request for a truce, PRLA. I know that's become a little unusual on some of the threads lately, but this is worth it. At least I'm sure we all can agree on that. :-)

[truthkeeper]

I'm wondering if anyone else caught John and Ken tonight. They were covering Gov. Sellout's signing of this monstrosity. They were more irate than I have ever heard them. When Doofus signed it and they started playing "The Mexican Hat Dance" I thought they would really lose it.

I plan to contact them, Doug McIntyre, and Al Rantel (other radio guys). Al Rantel has already said he would do everything in power to push this; hopefully at least some of these guys will come through and pound this to nines.

I'll keep everyone posted on any responses.

The Democrats have outnumbered Republicans in California for many years, but if Gray-out Davis keeps it up, he might get everyone in California to switch parties by the time he's recalled!

[janetgreen]

Count me in! I can probably get around fifty signatures.

[TheAngryClam]

376,000 and some odd. It's the same number as for a legislative initiative.
