One of the underreported stories to come out of the California recall election was the fact that Gray Davis' signing of the illegal alien driver's license bill actually mobilized votes against him.

A poll commissioned by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (search) and conducted by Luntz Research showed that nearly one-third of those who voted in last Tuesday

You bet we are, and we're lining her up in our sites.

Its a rebellion against Arizona's out of touch political establishment. Both Democrats and Republicans will be sent a big wake up call. If they don't know how mad AZ voters are, they will soon enough.

memo to Gov. Napolitano.....(and other 'electeds')


"PANDERING TO ILLEGALS WILL BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR JOB"

[goldstategop]

Exactly. I wish we could send that message to every office holder in the country. They can ask Gray Davis how he lost his job.

[Ogmios]

The 2000 election has to be the best thing that has ever happened to this country.

The voters have woken up, they realize that yes, their votes count, yes, their opinions matter, and yes, they can and will be heard.

California was the first, but it will not be the last.

The voters are angry, and the politicians can no longer afford to ignore them.

[goldstategop]

They haven't seen how angry we are but they will.

I DO tell them, every chance I get.........I also remind them that Tancredo WON his last re-election with more than 70% of the vote.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

GO ARIZONA! There's a petition to recall the Gov in Nevada, too. I'm collecting signatures. :0)

[goldstategop]

Its a more difficult climb to get Kenny Guinn recalled. The number of signatures needed it much higher. Good luck to Nevada Freepers getting him to face the voters.

Janet Napolitano, winner of the Arizona voters' 2003 Evan Meecham Award? Or a 2004 contender, you reckon?

Wasn't there a recall of sorts against McCain back in 2001? It was led by a freeper I believe but was stopped due to 9-11. Anyone remember that?

[Slip18]

I was part of that recall petition. Dittomom was the head of it. It failed for a number of reasons, not because of Dittomom, but someone else started the recall earlier, and time was running out. 9/11 ended it to be sure.

[AVNative]

If Arizona doesn't start controlling who gets free care at its government funded hospitals and set a residency requirement on who votes in her elections, Arizona will have another Humphrey's Peak: crippling debt.

Channel that anger, neighbor Arizonans: get yourself a recall of Gov. Napolitano! I remember she wasn't exactly the fountain of truth during the gasoline shortage a while ago, either.

[lepton]

What're the recall provisions in AZ?

[dittomom]

Well, if you really want to know...
