Proponents’ Statement of Reasons TO THE HONORABLE GAVIN NEWSOM:
Pursuant to section 11020, California Elections Code, the undersigned registered qualified voters of the State of California, hereby give notice, we are the proponents of a recall petition and we intend to seek your recall and removal from the office of Governor in the State of California and to demand election of a successor in that office. The grounds for this recall are as Follows: Governor Newsom has implemented laws which are detrimental to the citizens of this state and our way of life. Laws he endorsed favor foreign nationals, in our country illegally, over that of our own citizens. People in this state suffer the highest taxes in the nation, the highest homelessness rates, and the lowest quality of life as a result. He has imposed sanctuary state status and fails to enforce immigration laws. He unilaterally over-ruled the will of the people regarding the death penalty. He seeks to impose additional burdens on our state by the following; removing the protections of Proposition 13, rationing our water use, increasing taxes and restricting parental rights. Having no other recourse, we the people have come together to take this action, remedy these misdeeds and prevent further injustices.
As most of everyone heard, a recall election was recently held in California. This process was spearheaded by a bunch of Trump-loving simpletons and to say it was infuriating would be an understatement. Not only did it cost California $330 million to do a thing that was only a year away from being decided in a regular election, but the division it caused in the state was severe. Not only that, but the lies that it was about Newsome’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic caused confusion and anger. Officially, these people just had a problem with Newsome being compassionate to…well….anyone!
Now I’m not in any way a Newsome superfan. As a matter of fact, I’m hoping for a very viable alternative when elections come up in 2022, but what a waste of time and money this was! All it did was make clear how petty an entire group of people can be with the backing of a rich sociopath.
I’m glad that my fellow Californians saw this for what it was and defeated it. It was close for a bit and worrisome but in the end, we did the right thing and for that, I’m grateful.
