Has anyone heard of any recall efforts to remove Chris Christie from office?

[NJmaverick]

the quicker he is removed from office the less damage he can cause.

1. Democrats are too kind to do such a thing...

Have you ever heard of a Republican being recalled?

2. If ever there was a chance to both make it happen and do a lot of good

this is it. Christie's approval rating is 33% and I am sure the hate him factor is through the roof.

8. It would still likely fail

Only 33% approve, but I would bet that a hefty portion of those disapproving would see it as abusive to remove him lacking any ethical/moral/financial scandal. Obviously all of us strongly disagree with everything he has done, but by and large he is acting in accordance with what he ran on . (Though I have neighbor that apparently didn't get it. They were among the angriest when the state funding led to potential drastic cuts at the schools - though they supposedly bought all the Christie cut spending nonsense, they thankfully rejected that idea when it would have impacted their kids' schools.)

I would assume the best we could do is somehow show the Democratic legislature that we are against his ideas and support them standing against him.

3. Question: If Christie is recalled (I think it's possible), what happens next? n/t

7. What happens next is ...

What happens next is we the progressive democrats must find a strong democrat to run for governor and take back the state house.

4. possible, not likely

With something like 1800 signatures along with the low voter turnout I don't see 25% or more of registered voters, roughly 6 million, or 1,500,000 signatures or more rallying to get him out.

5. Nope

Haven't heard that. I think we are stuck with him. And his 'pissed' off-ness for awhile. *sigh*

6. Looking for help setting up a group to lead the Chris Christie Recall

I am looking for help setting up a group to lead the Chris Christie Recall.

I have registered the domain names recallchrischristie.com and recallgovernorchrischristie.com.

Before a recall occurs the governor must be in office one year.
The recall can be filed with the state as early as Nov 30th, 2010.
59 days before the first year in office is completed.
This really needs to be lead by a law firm.
The law firm would be paid by contributions.
I suspect a young aggressive law firm could make a nice name for themselves with this recall.

Please if you have suggestions contact me. reach out to any and all lawyers who may want to help.
