Recall gets enough signatures: AZ state senator behind immigration law

[UTUSN]

When Darryl ISSA, the Rethug p.o.s. from California, he of the scumbag history, spent a million bucks in financing the Recall of the Democratic governor, thinking that he ISSA was doing it for himself, he was scammed by his fellow scammer Ahhhhhnuld.

So back then I was fuming about the Recall, and my local pet Wingnut replied, “How can you be AGAINST the Recall since (history lesson: ) it was Liberals/Progressives of the 1920s who passed the Recall?!1” I often can’t figure whether he is playing dumb or what. The Recall mechanism can be abused the way ISSA abused it. Same as how certain people at both ends of the spectrum (think "STALIN" or living others who shan't be named) can claim to be "elected" with incredibly high % of the vote. So I guess THAT’s “democracy,” too, eh.

I only hope that out of a population of six millions, the 8,000 are not ALL of the sane.

It’s fun/ironic that the ONLY one carrying this item is the FOX propaganda outlet.

Arizona Senator Behind Immigration Law Likely to Face Recall

The Arizona senator behind last year's controversial anti-illegal immigration law is likely to face a recall vote after opponents gathered enough signatures to force him to stand for re-election early.

MyFoxPhoenix reports that local officials have verified at least 8,000 signatures -- more than the 7,756 needed for a recall of Arizona state Senate President Russell Pearce. The numbers are unofficial, but appear to set the stage for an historic special election.

Once a few formalities are taken care of, it would be up to Gov. Jan Brewer to issue the final order -- the election could fall in either November or March.

Pearce, a Republican, has expressed confidence that he can defend his seat. But the conservative lawmaker has faced a groundswell of opposition, nationally and locally, since he wrote the immigration law last year which has since become a model for other states. The law, signed by Brewer, ordered local law enforcement to check for immigration status in the course of their duties -- though the law is now tied up in court.

Pearce has also advocated for restrictions on what he calls "birthright citizenship" -- automatic citizenship conferred on those born on U.S. soil, even if their parents are illegal immigrants.

Citizens for a Better Arizona, which pushed the recall vote, calls him "too extreme for Arizona."

1. The 6million is STATE population. 8 thousand would be in the senatorial district, no?

Somebody pointed out to me that if the 8 thousand came out of one senatorial district, then the rascal DOES have something to worry about?!
