Darrell Issa, You Bought the Recall, Now Pay for the Special Election
I sent this message to Issa per a mailing request I received.
===============================

Your message was sent to the following recipients:
Representative Darrell Issa

As a Californian, I strongly object that you spent millions of dollars of your personal fortune to pay signature gatherers and force a special recall election when real volunteers couldn't gather enough signatures to make it happen. This was a perversion of the process not anticipated by those who wrote the California constitution.

Now, in the middle of the worst budget crisis ever faced by California, hard pressed county governments must slash remaining vital spending to hold a special election. The final cost is not known, but by all reasonable accounts, it will be over $50 million. That money could pay for crucial child care needs, health
care or affordable housing – but now it will instead be wasted on a special election due to your personal political ambitions.

According to your own personal financial disclosure statements, you have plenty of money left over after paying to put the recall election on the ballot. I urge you to make a special contribution to the Secretary of State's office to reimburse counties for all of the costs you have imposed. I am sure they would be grateful.

Sincerely,

twilight
******************************************************
Thank you for taking action on http://www.ActForChange.com. A copy of the email
you sent is above.

================

Follows in the reply I appropriately found in my "junk mail box" from Issa:

Thank you for your message. It is my duty and privilege to serve the
people of California's 49th congressional district. Please know that I will respond to your concern as soon as possible. Again, thank you for contacting me.

============

Perhaps I should have asked him for the money myself, or a new stolen car! Maybe that would have awakened this FRAUD! :evilgrin:

TOO GOOD!!!!!!!!

2. I think the voters of California should sue him for the money
and the aggravation. I wonder if a class action lawsuit is viable. It would be great if it could be done.
