Subject: Inquirers want to know: NEVADA MOMS
A message from Neena K. Lane to all members of NEVADA MOMS on As A Mom…!
Has anybody here discussed the fact that Nevada is one of eighteen states
that allow Recall Elections for all elected officials? The requirements are
that constituents feel that there Representative aren’t representing them.
53% of Nevadans are opposed to healthcare yet Reid is still shoving it down
our throats. Check. Representatives aren’t protecting the Constitution.
Check. And, even though this isn’t a requirement, I feel like Harry Reid is
flat out nuts.
Now for the tricky part. All you have to do is get a petition to recall
signed by 25% of registered voters who voted in Reids last election in 60
day. Numbers? 802,753 people voted in Reids last election so we would have
to get 200,689 signatures of registered voters in 60 days.
Check out the website that lists the recall states and requirements here:

Just a thought. Tell me what you think.

Yes! It’s time to recall him and anyone else who has disregarded the will of the people they are supposed ot represent. What we need is a good start.

my exact thought, I no longer live in nevada, but knowing the people there I believe it could be done and would send a strong message.

Sec. 9. Recall of public officers: Procedure and limitations. Every public officer in the State of Nevada is subject, as herein provided, to recall from office by the registered voters of the state, or of the county, district, or municipality which he represents. For this purpose, not less than twenty-five per cent (25%) of the number who actually voted in the state or in the county, district, or municipality which he represents, at the election in which he was elected, shall file their petition, in the manner herein provided, demanding his recall by the people. They shall set forth in said petition, in not exceeding two hundred (200) words, the reasons why said recall is demanded. If he shall offer his resignation, it shall be accepted and take effect on the day it is offered, and the vacancy thereby caused shall be filled in the manner provided by law. If he shall not resign within five (5) days after the petition is filed, a special election shall be ordered to be held within thirty (30) days after the issuance of the call therefor, in the state, or county, district, or municipality electing said officer, to determine whether the people will recall said officer. On the ballot at said election shall be printed verbatim as set forth in the recall petition, the reasons for demanding the recall of said officer, and in not more than two hundred (200) words, the officer’s justification of his course in office. He shall continue to perform the duties of his office until the result of said election shall be finally declared. Other candidates for the office may be nominated to be voted for at said special election. The candidate who shall receive highest number of votes at said special election shall be deemed elected for the remainder of the term, whether it be the person against whom the recall petition was filed, or another. The recall petition shall be filed with the officer with whom the petition for nomination to such office shall be filed, and the same officer shall order the special election when it is required. No such petition shall be circulated or filed against any officer until he has actually held his office six (6) months, save and except that it may be filed against a senator or assemblyman in the legislature at any time after ten (10) days from the beginning of the first session after his election. After one such petition and special election, no further recall petition shall be filed against the same officer during the term for which he was elected, unless such further petitioners shall pay into the public treasury from which the expenses of said special election have been paid, the whole amount paid out of said public treasury as expenses for the preceding special election. Such additional legislation as may aid the operation of this section shall be provided by law.

Since the Election is months away it will be COST EFFECTIVE (in more than one way) to simply vote them out of office!

Might let the next guy know that he better not take the bag money.

Could be worth the price whether the signatures were there or not if it made the mainsteam (bought off) media that it had been started?
