Hey JanMichael, Check it Out - BUSH RECALL
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030820/ap_on_el_pr/recall_bush_4


Dem Start Group to Try to 'Recall' Bush

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.

Wow, is this cause of you? DU Rocks.

1. Maybe, but I doubt we had much to do with it.
It's something of a natural progression. It doesn't surprise me that someone like Lochart would think of it too.

3. Cool
If I hear one more RW'er justify the recall because of California's 8 Billion Dollar Deficit without realizing the gross hypocrisy of not criticizing Bush for a 400 BILLION dollar deficit makes me want to scream.

Best way to get Republicans out of office? Make hypocrisy an impeachable offense.
