On 3/14/21 at 9:28 AM EDT
California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, admitted that he s made mistakes amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with the recall petition against him surpassing 2 million signatures.
The recall effort RecallGavin2020 announced last Wednesday that it had secured more than 2 million signatures. Just 1.5 million are required to spur a recall election which would have to take place within 60 to 80 days of the signatures being verified. The Republican organizers behind the campaign take aim at Newsom for a slew of problems in the Western state, while the governor s defenders argue it s just a long-shot GOP bid to take control.

Recall Gavin 2020 Lead Advisor Randy Economy compared the qualification for the Recall of Gavin Newsom as akin to giving birth. He is not off the mark. The Recall of Governor Newsom gives opportunity for California to be reborn, and to re-imagine governance without his dictatorial hand. The organizers and volunteer petition collectors made this clear with a mostly grassroots effort of signature collection.
Main Lead Mike Netter said,
“We Californians at the people level are paying attention. We ask that the other politicians with us pay attention too. Because this Recall should be a wake-up call for all politicians that the people of California will take action themselves to Recall a politician if they are not doing their job. And we started with the Governor of California.”

LOS ANGELES Organizers of an effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom from office say they have hit a major milestone in their efforts to get the measure on the ballot.
RecallGavin2020 leaders say they have collected 1.5 million signatures, hitting the minimum number needed to get on the ballot. They plan to continue circulating petitions through the March 17 deadline as there are always a number of signatures that get disqualified upon review by elections officials.
A recall effort needs a minimum of 1,495,709 valid signatures from registered voters to qualify the measure for the ballot, representing 12% of the votes cast in the last election for governor.
‘Revolutionary’ Political History, Impeachment, and Crime on the Rise Details
RANTZ & RAVES-There have been many Presidential elections in America over the past 244 years some more interesting and exciting than others.
While there have been two major political parties for years, other political parties have emerged over time to represent varied political beliefs ideals and interests. Is one better than the other? That is a question for you to ponder and determine.
As for me, I am a registered N.P.P. (No Party Preference). I vote for a candidate or issue regardless of political affiliation. Recent surveys show that many California voters are registering as N.P.P. and more are moving away from the two traditional political parties long identified by symbols of a Donkey and an Elephant.
