Congratulations to Recall Petition-Gatherers In Pearce's District!

[Vogon_Glory]

Congratulations to those volunteers and paid workers in state senator Russell Pearce's district! According to AZCentral.com, they seem to be within shouting distance of gathering enough valid signatures to force Russell Pearce into a recall election. :applause:

I hope you guys can knock him out at the polls.

Meanwhile here in Texas we have several wanna-be Pearces who are electorally bullet-proof, and Texas has no recall elections.

4. My husband at their office....

last night and signed. They told him that they had enough signatures, but were still trying hard to get more, since several will probably be challenged. I've donated $50 and he gave them another $20.

I hope, I hope, I hope!

6. Russell Pearce recall may be pushed to 2012 due to error

Arizona's elections director said she inadvertently gave an incorrect
timetable to the organizers of a drive to recall controversial Senate
President Russell Pearce, forcing a change in strategy in the
historic recall effort.

Elections Director Amy Bjelland said she initially told recall organizer
Randy Parraz that if he filed his signatures by May 25, there would be
enough time to verify them and schedule a November election.

But Bjelland since has notified Parraz that Gov. Jan Brewer has 15 days
to officially call an election if the signatures check out, not five.
The difference of 10 days in the recall timetable means Citizens for a
Better Arizona already has missed the actual deadline, May 10, to turn
in the signatures for a November election and can only hope for a
March 13, 2012, election.

A March recall election would fall midway through the next legislative term.
Parraz and the organizers were hoping for a November election, which,
if successful, would force Pearce out before the next session convenes.
