Last night it became official: 1.5 million signatures.
The Newsom Recall is the greatest citizens’ movement in California history, bringing together people of all party affiliations and all walks of life. That’s what has the political class and Special Interests who benefit from Gavin Newsom’s corruption so maniacally worried.
They will do anything and everything to fend it off. For example, on Tuesday the State Assembly is set to vote on SB 29, which would mail every voter an absentee ballot specifically for the Recall.
I will do what I can to stop further chicanery at the Capitol. At the same time, with the signature deadline a month away, it’s vital that we keep our foot on the accelerator. Getting close to 2 million signatures will provide a comfortable enough buffer.
It’s being said the Recall will be the biggest political event in the United States this year. It is certainly a make-or-break moment for California’s future. It is millions of people saying with one voice enough is enough, taking matters into our own hands, refusing to accept the inevitability of decline and failure.
