Tell you the truth I don't think they will have enough support. But it still pisses me off. She has done nothing wrong! Other then be a Democrat.

1. Who would want to recall this lady?




Seriously, this guy, Goodson, is a nutjob. I went to his site and looked at his "reasons" to recall Janet.... and it't a bunch of hooey. Whining about the uses of Executive Orders and the change from Squaw Peak to Piestewa Peak.

He just has an ax to grind and doesn't mind that the last 12 years (R) governors have run our education and state healthcare system into the ground.

2. Recall Janet?
Isn't she popular? And I mean in addition to being popularly elected?

3. Hi Langis, I am an Arizona DUer in Scottsdale...
I saw this in yesterday's paper about the recall. So far not much has happened with it, but it would not surprise me if the repukes pick up on this and try it.


<http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/local/articles/1013ruelas13.html>



<snip> Appearing on the screen are his myriad reasons for the recall, but Goodson is able to distill them into a single sentence. "Her being a liberal governor," he says

<snip> Goodson used to fly a Confederate flag on a wall in his living room. But he removed it. He worried that his championing of the Stars and Bars would become a distraction in his drive to unseat Napolitano. He pulls a press clipping from a pile on his kitchen counter. It includes a mocking quote from a Napolitano press aide about his role in the Southern Party. "I'd probably look at that and say, 'God, this guy's a kook,' " he says, adding that he is not a kook.

8. Hey Moon and Sun.
I'm not sure they'll pick up on it. So far, the RW Hatemongers @ KFYI have kept the proverbial '10 ft. pole' distance from it. Going so far as to say they wouldn't sign a petition if offered.

Goodson's a nutjob, pure and simple.

4. She has a history of standing up to Corporate Greedheads
I sorta figured that was why Pheonix got held for ransome in the
'gas shortage' ruse. They were trying to threaten her to get with their program. Had to laugh... know she is made of tougher stuff. Good luck to all you AZ dems. Hope you hang onto this jewel of a governor!

5. Of course they renamed Squaw peak
Would you want to hike up a mountain named an explicit, derogatory gynecological term?

7. This is getting to be laughable
Are people really so blind they can't see through these schemes?
Hopefully this one will fail. I've got family in Phoenix... I'm gonna call them about this tonight.
