Arizona Voters Look To Recall Sens. McCain & Flake Following Amnesty Vote
Freedom Outpost ^ | June 25, 2013 | Dean Garrison

Posted on 06/25/2013 10:52:03 AM PDT by EXCH54FE

A new website is calling for a grassroots effort to recall Arizona Senators Jeff Flake and John McCain. The recall petitions are based firmly on the grounds of the Senators’ support of the Immigration Reform Amnesty Bill. The two “Gang of Eight” Senators have chosen to turn their backs on those who voted them into office and it is high time that Arizona gets their payback on the two RINO Senators.

The website, senatorflake.com, is very simple. They are not begging for donations and do not appear to be in the data harvesting business. This would appear to be an individual or group of citizens who have simply had enough and are looking to take action.

Arizona’s Constitution, Article 8, Section 1 states:

Every public officer in the state of Arizona, holding an elective office, either by election or appointment, is subject to recall from such office by the qualified electors of the electoral district from which candidates are elected to such office. Such electoral district may include the whole state. Such number of said electors as shall equal twenty-five per centum of the number of votes cast at the last preceding general election for all of the candidates for the office held by such officer, may by petition, which shall be known as a recall petition, demand his recall.

The site originally started with a singular goal to recall Jeff Flake but due to popular demand they decided to add John McCain to their hit list. The site features this YouTube video which clearly shows the complete turnaround McCain has done on immigration reform. “Complete the danged fence.” Those are John McCain’s exact words.

A way to get things rolling to prevent such senate nonsense is for the AZ legislature to press the National Conference of State Legislatures to support repeal of the 17th Amendment. I don't know who Flake and McCain are looking out for, but it isn't AZ.

According to the site I linked it says it will be an uphill battle and none have been recalled.

I wish I could scream the following from the rooftop, but do not seem to have the ability to make it widely known; “If you control the dialogue, you control the issue”.

RINO’s and libs control gained control of the issue when they, unchallenged - merged the invasion of our southern border into an immigration issue! Understand that, and we can understand how Americans have been duped. THIS WAS NEVER ABOUT IMMIGRATION, but now Obama and his predecessors, ignoring their few actual Constitutional mandates - protecting the USA borders - is magically legitimized as feel good political dogma.

For conservatives to regain the issue, we MUST regain the dialogue! This is ONLY about America being invaded by a foreign country; Mexico. Resolve this invasion alone! If people wish to tweak our immigration policy, then do so separately. Immigration is important - but totally unrelated to what’s happening on our sothern borders!

Waste of time. Either McQueeg or Flake, if the time comes when there are enough votes, will simply refuse to recognize the recall. They’ll take us to Federal court (and win) if they have to.

But they won’t have to. They’ll get 100% of the Rat vote. BTDT, got bitched out by the people who didn’t want to sign the petition. So piss on them.

While I’d like to think of this as a kind of campaign ad in the GOP primary wars to come, how much would something like this cost relative to a single TV ad in a primary campaign? If this costs less than a TV ad, it’s worth doing, simply to raise awareness among GOP voters that these two RINO traitors need to be tarred and feathered.

I don’t support the recall procesa which in this case is probably unconstitutional anyway, but it’s a convenient way to send a message.

According to Judge Napalitano, the laws governing electing and changing candidates or Senate offices in NJ are whatever NJ law says that it is... so the same must hold true for Arizona?

We need to be sure the site is NOT a rat site, so they get the money for other purposes.

Finally. Hasn’t McShame been punting for the pro-illegal lobby for almost a decade now? And if I remember correctly, Flake was cutting deals with the La Raza dims in the House in 2006.

RE :”It’s good for them to get the pitchforks and torches. But remember voters were burning their GOP membership cards in 2007 when McCain was helping Kennedy with amnesty, and McCain is still in office. What does it take to get rid of him”

Its darn hard to get rid of an incumbent Senator as they have lots of $$$ which they get by pulling sh... like this.
Plus as you can see they get to ham it up on network shows.

I been thinking of Grahamnesty's upcoming election.

Plus McCain played conservative ... 'common sense conservative' act for 2008 and he only gave up the act recently. He acted as if he was against amnesty for a while.

Whatever it is, it would be in the courts for decades, and the Senator would remain in office during that period.

Much as I despise McCain, there are more important things going on than recalling him.
