***The operative words are "may submit a request" which doesn't quarantee
you anything but wasting paper.

heard.

This may be a right but again, it is a paper right and Joe Average Citizen
rarely prevails.

***It isn't harder to initiate a recall.  Getting rid of elected officials
can be quite simple.  The problem is that the average citizen is flat lazy

***Which is why folks like Riggs are no longer in office nor is the DA who
supported him nor is the Sheriff of Humboldt County who sent in the fools
