With 1.95 million signatures in hand, the Recall campaign has announced an election to remove Gavin Newsom from office is now assured. Still, we’re aiming for 2 million by the March 17 deadline.
My friend Randy Economy, the Recall’s official spokesman, said it well: “One thing we want to let everybody know here, especially to the politicians across the street and the lobbyists that have destroyed California’s dream for decades and generations is that your game’s over. From now on, the people are in charge of California.”
For years, our state has been on a seemingly irreversible decline. This last year, Gavin Newsom brought that decline to a total freefall. ...
But the people of California refused to remain trapped in the rubble. Disenfranchised and dispossessed, we fought back. We availed ourselves of a last remaining recourse, a tool that is simple yet powerful, an act that is rote yet revolutionary: writing your name in cursive on a piece of paper.
Thanks to the heroic efforts of countless volunteers – outside of Walmarts and Hobby Lobbys, at places of business and places of worship, through organized rallies and spontaneous encounters – those pieces of paper piled up on a breathtaking scale, turning a sea of discontent into a watershed for our democracy.
Signature by signature, you have built the greatest citizens’ movement California history. You have given us a chance to save our state. You have given us hope.
Yesterday, Governor Newsom delivered his State of the State Address. It was a sad spectacle. CalMatters called it “the kickoff to his don’t-recall-me campaign.”
The State of the State usually takes place at the Capitol, much like the President’s State of the Union. But Newsom broke with tradition and opted for Dodger Stadium. It was a fitting image for his one-man rule, standing alone in an empty sports arena rather than among legislators whose power he’s lawlessly seized.
Legislators were, however, asked to log in via Zoom. We were then instructed to keep our cameras on so the Governor’s team could project hokey images of us applauding from behind our computers. I kept mine off.
Usually, the State of the State is a special occasion. That’s because usually, the Governor of California isn’t a noxious daily presence in our lives. But after a year of monologues inflicted on us by livestream, this address was just one more for the archives. (For a vivid contrast, check out the energy at the Recall Rally at the Capitol I was part of this weekend.)
It took the Associated Press about an hour to throw together a fact check debunking much of what Newsom said. As one example, he perversely bragged that California’s “death rate has remained one of the lowest per capita in the nation.”
In fact, we are middle of the pack despite having the nation’s most severe lockdowns. Seniors in Florida, where everything is open, have done better than in California. Case rates for Florida kids, 99.9 percent of whom are back in school, are lower than in California where 12.8 percent of kids are (last in the nation).
Newsom also used the speech to lash out at the Recall as a “partisan power grab.” He of course knows it’s just the opposite, bringing together people of all party affiliations and all walks of life. That’s why he’s panicking.
Finally, Newsom ominously declared that “we’re not going back to normal.” In a way, he’s right. We’re no longer going to allow our state to be ruined by the corruption that he’s brought to peak levels.
Biden is now 50 days from a Press Conference, which is the record since about 1960.
It's pitiful watching him grasping at LibbyFuck slogans and guilt trip straws.
"Bring me my speed and vitamin B injections, along with a triple martini! I need a head of steam for this campaign. Also, break out that private reserve of Adrenochrome that Obama sent me! That stuff works miracles. That, three face lifts and a pound of makeup have kept Obama wrinkle free after a lifetime of smoking crack and tobacco!"
Now Newscum says white supremacists are behind recall.

Haha, we can have 30 million signatures for this asshole to be recalled, and he won't be.

If Republicans were as ambitious as Kommies, they could have 80 million mail in recall votes easy peasy.
Sometimes, the dots connect themselves. Let’s start with today’s bombshell report that Gavin Newsom wildly misled the public about his fire prevention efforts:
"An investigation from CapRadio and NPR’s California Newsroom found the governor has misrepresented his accomplishments and even disinvested in wildfire prevention. Newsom overstated, by an astounding 690%, the number of acres treated with fuel breaks and prescribed burns."
It’s hard to say whether the deception or the dereliction is worse. But there’s more.
At the moment, Newsom is trying to pass a new law to let him control when the Recall happens. After months of delay, he suddenly wants the vote sooner. His main supporter in the Senate explained why, writing that “fires” in the late summer or early fall are among Newsom’s “biggest threats."
Returning to the NPR report, it's clear why he's so worried:
"Overall, California’s [wildfire] response has faltered under Newsom…fuel reduction output dropped by half in 2020, to levels below Gov. Jerry Brown’s final year in office. At the same time, Newsom slashed roughly $150 million from Cal Fire’s wildfire prevention budget."
It appears Newsom is well aware he hasn’t prepared the state for fire season, so he's trying to (1) deceive the public and (2) force a Recall vote before his deception is catastrophically exposed.
Our movement has a simple slogan: Recall Newsom. Save California.
The petition to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom cleared its final hurdle on June 23, with confirmation from the state’s top election official that enough signatures remained after voters had been given a chance to withdraw support for the petition.
California Secretary of State Shirley Weber said 43 signatures have been withdrawn during a supplemental signature withdrawal period, leaving 1,719,900 verified signatures, which still meets the threshold to initiate a recall election.
Weber notified California Department of Finance Director Keely Martin Bosler, who is tasked with handling the next step in the recall process. The Department of Finance will analyze the potential cost of the election and submit its estimate by Aug. 5.
The Joint Legislative Budget Committee will have 30 days to review and comment on the petition, after which Weber would be responsible for issuing the final certification as to the sufficiency of the number of votes to initiate a recall.
Newsom has faced intense criticism for flouting his own pandemic lockdown rules by dining maskless at a Michelin-starred restaurant. California has some of the highest taxes in the nation and a homelessness problem that is spiraling out of control, among other issues, and since 2000, the state has ranked near the bottom in terms of overall freedom on the Cato Institute’s “Freedom in the 50 States” index.
On June 23, an investigative report by CapRadio showed that Newsom had misled the public about his wildfire prevention efforts. The report concluded that Newsom overstated by 690 percent the number of acres treated with firebreaks and prescribed burns. Newsom said fire prevention work was conducted on 90,000 acres, but the state’s own figures peg the number at 11,399, according to the report.
The election could be held as early as August or as late as November this year.
