The Right and Wrong Way of Recalling a State Official...

Fellow Citizens of this Great Nation...,

 - We apparently have some individuals who do not wish to follow proceedure in regarding Our Elected Public Servants. We have those who seek Elected Public Positions via employing innappropriate means and methods of describing HOW said positions should be attained. We have individuals who clearly do not understand the method unto which firearms SHOULD be employed. Ladies and Gentlemen, today...we're going to discuss Recalling a State Official...
 - As to date, there have been NO State Officials Recalled from office...this is stated only as a means to inform the public that (at the current time and moment) this proceedure has not been employed successfully...what it does NOT say is that it does not work. I am inclined to believe that the lack of Elected Public Officials recalled is due to the uneducated citizenry unfamiliar with the process in order to remove an Elected Public Servant from office. Here is what it takes in order to proceed:

A state representative is put into office by voters from his home state. When those voters are unhappy with their representative's performance, they may call for a recall. It's a long and difficult process and there are certain steps that need to be followed to recall a state representative.

Instructions

• 1) Consider the state you live in. Only 18 states allow their residents to recall their state official. If you live in one of these states, proceed with the recall of your state representative.
• 2) Decide why you want to recall your state representative. In 7 of the 18 states allowing recall elections, you must meet specific grounds for recall. There is no such requirement in the other 11 states.
• 3) Start petitioning. You'll need a significant number of signatures to recall your state representative. The number differs by state but is usually a certain percentage of voters in the last election.
• 4) Know the time limits. You will only have a certain amount of time to circulate your petition anywhere from 30 to 180 days. Learn the rules in your state and abide by them.
• 5) Vote in the recall election. If you get enough signatures on your petition, a recall election will be granted. The ballot will ask if you think the state representative should be recalled-vote "yes" here.

Tips and Warnings

• The following are the 18 states where state representatives can be recalled: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington and Wisconsin. The District of Columbia also allows recalls.

• On the ballot of the recall election, some states simply ask if the state representative should be recalled. Others will hold an election during the recall. This fills the seat left open by the state representative who was recalled.

• Part of the recall process is notifying the person being recalled and giving him a chance to respond. This is true of all 18 states although it happens at different times in the process.

 - Note: be it here known that even though only 18 States (thus far) allow for an Elected Public Servant to be recalled does NOT mean those will ONLY be the States. Contact your State Legislature and request for the authority to recall your State's Elected Public Servants, make it an issue and bring it up with either petitions and/or policies to be introduced in the upcoming elections. At the most extreme of occurences, know that an Elected Public Servant can be brought down on charges of TREASON if they fail in thier duty to thier constituents.
 - An Elected Public Servant is NOT a permenant position...it's only held by those who do thier job and thier BOSS, thier EMPLOYER is We, the People. They get paid by us through Our tax dollars...and it is through those tax dollars whom those Elected Public Servants are ultimately accountable for, and that is We, the People. It is Our responsibility to ensure that the Elected Public Servants are doing thier job and REMOVE THEM from office when they show themselves incapable of performing thier basic job functions via either Recalling them or (if sufficient proof permits) to bring to trail on the charge of Treason.
 - What We, the People, will NOT do...is take a firearm to a meeting held by an Elected Public Servant and proceed to open fire as if one is hunting quail. This is moronic, utterly devoid of reason and entirely side-steps the policies and proceedures Our Forefathers have set before us to resolve issues in a civil matter and only a CRIMINAL inviolates the law. We are BETTER then this, America...far better then this. I would like to take this time to express my sincere sympathy for those whom lost loved ones in Arizona as well as the near fatal shooting of Representative Gifford. This action commenced I equate no better then the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy and others...
 - We, the People, run this Nation and it is up to us to proceed forthwith and ACT like it. We carry forth with integrity, pride, self-assurance, honour. We elect Our Public Servants...We are Responsible for them. We have the means to remove them from office, hence, we are Accountable for them. We support Our Nation, We support the Constitution and We support the Liberties provided therein. Only wence we surrender those Rights...those Freedoms...do we lose America.

Sincerely,
The American Diest,
M.D. Little.
