We
have touched on what it takes to recall a RINO
governor. Thanks to Chris Emmai, a campaign
manager for local candidates, you can figure
out what it takes to get rid of the Porkers and or
Tax Hikers.
Article
II, Section 14(b) of the California
Constitution
mandates that the number of signatures to recall a
member of the Legislature: ”must equal in
number 20 percent of the last vote for the
office.”
Thus, in order to
recall the Porkers and Tax-Hikers, the tabulation
below shows how many valid signatures are required
to qualify a recall against each of the six
legislators who voted for the tax hikes:
Asm. Mike Villines:
33,466
Asm. Anthony
Adams:
35,825
Asm. Roger
Niello: 37,584
Sen. Roy Ashburn: 42,376
Sen. Dave Cogdill: 50,097
Sen. Abel Maldonado: 70,770
Further, it requires
29,834 valid signatures to qualify a recall against
Asm. Jeff
Miller.
The calculations are:
20% of 149,166 is 29,834 (AD-71: Miller)
20% of 167,330 is 33,466 (AD-29: Villines)
20% of 179,121 is 35,825 (AD-59: Adams)
20% of 187,916 is 37,584 (AD-5: Niello)
20% of 211,877 is 42,376 (SD-18: Ashburn)
20% of 250,483 is 50,097 (SD-14: Cogdill)
20% of 353,846 is 70,770 (SD-15: Maldonado)
These numbers use
the 2008 election results for each district, except
SD-18 (Ashburn) and SD-14 (Cogdill), which are
calculated using the 2006 election results since
neither of those seats was up in 2008.
The results are
calculated by adding the votes won by all of
the candidates in each of those races (i.e. the
legislator and all of his general election opponents
combined).
COMMENTS
Folks,
California is lost. This state is doomed to
continued chaos and job loss because the Democrats
are owned lock, stock and barrel by public employee
unions and they therefore will not make the cuts
necessary to insure financial stability.
That’s ok, we have plenty of room for anyone who
wants to come over to Nevada . We have a
Democrat problem at times too; but our state
legislature only meets every other year so the
damage they can do is more confined. The Dems
wanted to raise property taxes in Nevada which was
vetoed by our Republican Governor. The veto
was sustained. Joe Morabito
