If anyone would like to join me in exploring if we can do this in Arizona against McCain, please freepmail me.

I’m calling the Secretary of State’s office tomorrow.

Federal officeholders cannot be recalled. Period.

Recall was a Progressive invention to allow a more participatory democracy. It was popular in California when Arizona became a state. The proposed Arizona constitution allowed recall of state officials, including judges. Statehood was delayed by a month until the provision regarding judges was removed. Arizona was admitted a month after New Mexico, hence the nickname “The Baby State” until 1959. After admission the people of Arizona immediately put the provision allowing recall of judges back in the constitution.

Both Senators Kyl and McCain have pledged to abide by the results of any recall and resign should one be successful.

While you’re speaking with the Sect.’s office, ask how the candidates for President are verified...might surprise you. I know each state can do their way, but I was certainally surprised to learn the qualifications in Texas are “checked” in the A.G.’s office - by whoever has the time. I would think the Sect of State or A.G. themselves would bother to look.
