    Someone suggested a Recall yesterday for these bastards just voting for their party's agenda regardless of the merit of argument to the contrary. How about we start that process? Anyone have any experience with a Recall?

    From the little reading I did (in the Colorado Constitution), it is a lot of legwork, but relatively simple: 1) file a recall petition with the Secretary of State, containing a statement of no more than 200 words declaring why the official should be recalled. 2) get approval from the Secretary of State for the petition. 3) collect signatures on the petition of at least 25% of voters who voted in the last election. 4) send the petition to the Governor, who will schedule a date for the Recall Election.

    Are we just outnumbered here by libs who will vote the person back in? Is this just a waste of time?

    That's the idea I was thinking, and your fear is the same as mine... I would think Fields would be a for sure goner though, the statement would include that she is emotionally compromised and unable to lead from a rational and logical mindstate. I would hope that since Obama and pot are not on the line then the libs will stay home.

    I'd just hate to bend over and take whatever they want to push through while we wait for the next election cycle, if we can do something sooner. I can't think of a more direct way of (peacefully) showing them we are not going to be treated this way. Imagine the result if we were able to successfully oust enough of them to create a Republican majority.

    Starting a preemptive recall petition might put them on notice, but we're gonna need a plan to overturn anything that might be passed.

    Ronin, I'm not sure if I missed it or not. That sounds like an excellent 29th amendment to the US Constitution. What is the proposal for the 28th amendment?

    Didn't you offer this before?

    FWIW: a Constitutional Amendment might require another Constitutional Convention. SOMETHING the VPC, liberals and every one who believes the Constitution is a living document able to be revised at any time. Open that door and you will see a blitz from every anti gun corner of the world push and achieve the elimination of the 2nd Amendment.

    Do a state one with enough Valid signatures, it will have to be on the ballot, if not a special election. Keep it simple, no additional shit like responsible for shootings etc. Straight and to the point.

    Are there any attorneys on this site, who might be able to help with the wording? I know of one in Limon on Arfcom, who might be willing if no other member here is.

    I agree; make the language simple and unambiguous.
