Remember Anthony Adams? The guy who crossed party lines to pass the state budget?

Well check this out! ... we're not gonna take it anymore!

Adams served recall at Schwarzenegger fundraiser
GLENDORA • Former state GOP Chairman Mike Schroeder served Assemblyman Anthony Adams with a recall notice on Wednesday evening, about an hour before Adams began his fundraiser headlined by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

“I handed Adams the petition, he reached out and took it, and I said, ‘On behalf of the taxpayers of the 59th Assembly District, let the games begin,” said Schroeder, who delivered the notice of intention to recall Adams, R-Hesperia, just before 5 p.m.

If you're not sure why this is a big deal, check out this audio file.
Adams admits to a conspiracy! Listen here.

[COLOR="Sienna"]Let the games begin indeed!

I predict much more of this happening around the nation as people realize that our reprentatives are not representing us. I wonder how much press this will receive...and if the amount of press coverage will be from "pressure".[/COLOR]

Not accomplishment #1 - It's task #1.

There is a drive to recall Roy Ashburn another turncoat State Leglistator. I live in his district and am signed up on the Recall Roy Ashburn website.

"Recall 'em all" is the battle cry.

....and somehow we have to get good replacements.

Remember, we ended up with Arnold.

[COLOR="Sienna"]Absolutely. People were so fed up with Republicans that they elected Obama. I'm not saying McCain was any better of a choice...but people don't understand that there are more than just two parties these days.[/COLOR]

butt people don't understand that there are more than just two parties these days.

Amen brotha!

And we CAN get good people in there. They're out there - they just don't have thousands of dollars to run TV and newspaper ads, etc. We all have to investigate the candidates, or run for office ourselves! And of course, when you find a good one, let everyone know so we can all support them.

Will anyone be bringing recall petitions to the tax day rally? It might be a good place to gather signatures

[Max7]

I'll find out if ET Snell and Gary are coming with the Recall sign truck, trailer and Petitions.

Where do we find those (petitions)? We are going to save the audio clip to our phones and take it canvassing.

[Roger]

I just went to http://www.recalladams.org/default.aspx it looks like they are not ready to start the petition drive yet


I just sent the following email to one of the turncoats Roy AShburn:

"Even though the Republicans are a minority in the State Assembly & Senate and they can not control how tax dollars are spent, Republicans have the power to say how much money will be spent. You and the other two turncoats blew that. I am sorry I ever voted for you and you can be sure I will NEVER vote for you again.

In fact, I will be working as hard as I can to collect signatures for the recall petition.

Please do not ever refer to yourself as a Republican again."

Now let us see
we bitch and yell we need bipartisan politicians
we yell we need guys to cross party lines and vote their heart, and when one does we crucify him.
this makes sense and proves why our 2 party system is totally broken, 3rd party members should be screaming from the trees support for the guy, no not for what he voted for, that budget stinks, but because he went against his party to get a budget passed. He did for the good of the system (weather or not agreed with it's value, we needed a budget to continue to do business and move on to issues we need to discuss, like cutting spending not arguing weather we need it in the now)
In order to solve some of what is wrong we needed to get past the budget and then make the decisions that needed to be made, not while arguing over the now, but while arguing over the future where we can make plans to shut things down.
we were making stupid decisions like making park officials take Fridays off, when do they collect for camping and stuff, when guys are getting there on Fridays.
Anyway, we need more politicians to cross lines and a recall for doing such is negative

It's not just that he crossed party lines - but he had also signed promises to never raise taxes as well. Did you listen to the audio clip on the beginning post? Adams will tell you in his own words the game our Assembly is playing.

Or perhaps I misunderstood your post.

[Roger]

We don't need bi-partisan politics. We need a government that will not overspend. We need elected officials that are true to their word. I expect the Democrats to be big spenders and do what the unions tell them to do. I do not expect Republicans to vote for higher taxes.

I think all elected officials should have to wear NASCAR type uniforms so we can see who their sponsors are....

[Max7]

With the present arrogantly deaf majority congress and administration, bipartisanship is meaningless. When the lights and mics are are turned off we the people are left mute. When our letters and calls are dismissed as "not informed" we are left mute. The threat of the "anything but" fairness doctrine and its variants is being pushed to pass and we the people are left mute. We are speaking, yet we are not heard, then accused of not cooperating; it is just the opposite folks.

The 09-10 California state budget is a complete disaster. The legislature, state government, and the people will be forced to learn things the hard way. You can’t spend money on wasteful programs to get prosperity. "The Tea Party grassroots movement understands and is sending the message to Washington [and local state government] that we cannot tax, borrow, and spend our way to prosperity," Texas Rep. John Culberson-. In California the "domestic enemies of the Constitution" (our legislators) vowed to address this situation without passing along the debt to the already highest burdened taxpayers in the country. California’s budget mess is a “what not to do”. When your state's budget is the worst in the nation, I demand something effective be done. Bold moves are needed by the people of this precedence setting State of California. Repeal, Revolt, Recall!
