CNN: Rick Perry approval at 40%. How about pushing a recall?

[blm]

Heheh. That would be a great distraction for Bush and his Texas mob.

1. How is it done in Texas?

How many sigs, etc. do you need?

[blm]

I have no clue. Maybe some Texan DUers can weigh in.

Texas may not even have recall as an option, but, it would be fun to make a stink of it in Letters to the Editor, etc....

2. Have a Texas recall and a D.C. Impeachment, even better.

3. I'd rather his wife out him if the rumors are true

4. hi, blm. Is Perry unpopular because of --

-- the rumor of his gay adultery, or is he down in the polls because he's a crappy governor?

I'd hope the the latter. He should have been recalled strictly on the basis of his being a dipshit.

If the gay stuff is true, I'd like to see him at least say, "Yeah, it's true -- so what?"

I won't miss him if he goes, but I don't want him run out of town because of dicksucking. I want him run out of town because he's not an inclusive, visional man.

7. It was job performance rating from what I heard.

9. Hmm.. Ok.

Well, then a recall sounds pretty good.

5. I say attack where they are weak, seems this is a soft spot

ripe for plucking.

6. I would sign it

gladly. With pleasure.

8. Apparently there isn't a recall provision in TX...

"Texas, thank goodness, doesn't have a gubernatorial recall statute. However, most cities in this state do."

[Sushi-Lover]

10. That would be sweet

Revenge for Arnold and we could use a nice $ wasting, image damaging distraction. I live in Cali, but if anyone managed to move on that I would donate.

11. I don't believe we have a recall provision at the state level

The best we can do is impeach a governor, which did happen to James "Pa" Ferguson in 1917. One of the things that brought him down was the infamous Chicken Salad Case.

12. Well...maybe it's time for a surge of Letters to the Editor

screeching dissatisfaction with the incompetent handling of the state's affairs by the governor?
