RECALL effort against Republican Gov. Murkowski of Alaska!

[Why Knot]

This is a SERIOUS recall effort that HAS NOT been picked up by the press from the "lower 48".

The Murkowski/Leman recall effort has officially begun. Visit the website at www.RecallMurkowski.com.

Following public demonstrations of support for this recall action in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Kenai, they are now beginning the first stage of the campaign. This grassroots organization consists of statewide activists, ex-legislators and Alaskans, who share the common goal of restoring accountability to the highest elected office in Alaska. The recall instrument sends a strong message that honesty and integrity is demanded in the administration of Alaska's public business.

The recall volunteers have a successful track record working to support political campaigns and ballot initiatives throughout the state of Alaska. They have expert legal representation and are prepared to defend the recall action in court. The group has the depth and experience to successfully accomplish this recall effort.

With statewide support, they can successfully recall the current administration. Dedicated Alaskans can restore integrity to the Governor’s office. If you would like more information visit the website and search the web for news from Alaska. Alaskan citizens overwhelmingly support this effort. Alaskans to Recall Murkowski can make this happen!

1. What are the key grounds?

Given that he was just elected - what are the key issues upon which to reverse the vote?

It wasn't clear upon first glance/read on the website.

I have long been a detractor of Murkowski and would be glad to see him ousted.

However recalls are a huge endeavor. My advice to the effort (and the website) would be to put the grounds upon which a recall is sought front and center. Otherwise it reads as though it is implied that folks just don't like him and want to reverse the election.

4. Being just elected don't mean squat!

Hey, the good folks of California have paved the way for recalling a newly elected governor. And now look at the mess we are in!

I don't know what your issues are, but good luck to you. Murkowski's appeal has always eluded me and I'm hoping his daughter will be ousted from the senate as well.

5. Just suggesting

that laying the argument for recall out first - rather than the process for recall - will be more effective in drawing support to the effort.

2. What type

voting machines do they have in Alaska?

3. Awesome.

He is truly despicable. I think their naked power/money grabs are beginning to catch up with them. While I disagree with Knowles on many issues, I'll be happy to see him win the Senate race there this year.

6. This doesn't have a chance of passing

I would advise that the group use their resources to defeat Sen. Murkowski in 2004 instead.

Also, this is not LBN.
