WASHINGTON - The latest Democratic drive to make sure President Bush (news - web sites) serves just one term takes a page from the effort to oust a Democratic governor in California, calling its web site "bushrecall" and garnering support through petitions.

A new committee called the Fair and Balanced PAC plans to launch its www.bushrecall.org Web site Thursday. The PAC's founders include Joe Lockhart, a press secretary to former President Clinton (news - web sites), and Mike Lux, a Democratic political consultant.

The Constitution provides no way to recall a president through a ballot initiative, as California voters have a chance to do to Democrat Gray Davis in October.

Instead, the PAC will work to defeat Bush in next year's election, building lists of supporters through a petition drive and raising money to run ads against the Republican, he said.


OMG! Did this have anything to do with the thread Jan-Michele (sp?) started a couple of days ago in GD? DU Rocks

5. Well something is wrong at that site.

It kept pulling up a box for a user name and password. Do I create a new one (it will not let me do it). Do I use my regular one I use every place else (it will not let me). SO basicly I cannot do anything with the site exept be told access denied!

17. Am I wrong? Didn't this Bush Recall start here on DU? What's going on?

Whatever.......I'm glad we are a "conduit" for NEW DEM ideas.........still I hope those who were the first to post here about it get credit! Otherwise, we a are a "Silent Think Tank." Sheesh.....they stole it..........

Whatever....it's a good idea.

21. Finally found it in the GD archives

Geez, at least now I know I'm not losing my mind. I know, how can you lose something that's already lost? Oh well, here it is, the thread that started this whole thing.


Poll question: Do you think we could get 12,000,000 recall signatures against Bush?


Then on this thread,

Has the recall Chimpy thing got going yet?

Proud Patriot posted a link to this site:

And here's the follow up from the Activism forum:

BUSH RECALL PETITION thread...

Nice to be able to track how this idea evolved and how fast it made the big time. Very cool.
