(#4587) NO on the recall

      I was having a hard time trying to think of a topic that was important to me to write about this morning and although I did consider the House coming back into session today to work on passing the infrastructure bills from the Senate and their own work on a voting protection bill, I ended up with our California vote to deny the republican recall. They could not win in the general election and are now trying to steal the governor's seat with a special election. How can they do this you may be asking yourself? It is simple. In a special election, there are fewer voters available to vote because it isn't like a general election.
     Now those republicans who are trying to steal the governor's seat, they will vote like it is a general election but we democrats are less enthused about this forced election and many of us will not vote because we are too lazy and too otherwise occupied to spend 5 minutes protecting our state's immediate future. I hope I am wrong and the many more of us overwhelm this republican trick at thievery. Yet hope is not the best position to be in. I want to know we will beat back this nefarious attempt to smear our governor with the problems that republicans created. The recall is in the middle of September but the ballots in the mail portion of this republican imposed election have already been mailed.
     The ballots from this house have already been returned with an emphatic NO on the recall so that our account to defeat this republican trick is fulfilled. I know many of my like minded friends here in California have also returned their ballots with the same No recall position. But the many millions of us who originally voted for our governor, I have no such knowledge. But if we do our part and vote NO on the recall option then we will destroy what is left of the despicable republican party here in California. This is their last gasp attempt to be relevant in California and even though they have nothing of value to offer they have a chance to win if we don't engage and vote like our lives depend on it.
