I believe we are in real trouble folks!To think that there were enough people to put him in office, and there were, is at best absolutely frightening to me.It illustrates that there are already too many 'entitlement' people and with this bunch in power, that number will definitely grow and make it impossible to turn this thing around in the next election.I KNOW people that actually believe they are going to get money and free insurance from the "rich"! How can there be so many gullible people that fall for this sham? Something big has got to happen or we are lost as an independent free country. I am frightened!I fear for my future, not just my descendants futures!

Good Morning, I wanted to say I went to a Tea Party here in Springfield on Saturday. There was also one on Wednesday. Turn out was great for both. People are angry about the endless Government spending but also about the control which the Federal Government keeps taking from us, the liberties it continues to erode.

The liberals here all think we were paid or pushed to go by the Republican party, since we can't possibly think for our selves. As usual, they assume all sorts of things and never check it out. I guess they think that unless someone tells us, we would never realize there is nothing improved from paying all our taxes nor would we realize our liberties are being taken away. They believe we cannot think for ourselves. It is so insulting, but that is what liberals do. Pat

Now, what chance would citizens have to file a lawsuit against the U.S. Government for theft? Sounds crazy but hear me out...... If enough people were against the "bailout" and our government did not listen to the people, then what if we sued for the money to be returned? Even though this country is for the people, by the people, they apparently did not listen to the average citizen, look at all these tea parties? That was alot of pissed off taxpayers!

Here is the procedure for a recall election, straight from Wikipedia:

Along with the initiative, the referendum, and the direct primary, the recall election was one of the major electoral reforms advocated by leaders of the Progressive movement in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, although it was initially proposed in William S. U'Ren's Oregon newspaper. Recall elections are currently prohibited in the federal system. The majority of states allow recall elections in local jurisdictions, but only eighteen states permit recall elections to remove state officials. [1]

Only two governors have ever been successfully recalled. In 1921, Lynn J. Frazier, Governor of North Dakota, was recalled during a dispute about state-owned industries, and in 2003, Governor Gray Davis of California was recalled over mismanagement of the state budget.

In Alaska, Georgia, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Rhode Island, and Washington, specific grounds are required for a recall. Some form of malfeasance or misconduct while in office must be identified by the petitioners. The target may choose to dispute the validity of the grounds in court, and a court then judges whether the allegations in the petition rise to a level where a recall is necessary. In the other eleven states that permit state-wide recall, no grounds are required and recall petitions may be circulated for any reason. However, the target is permitted to submit responses to the stated reasons for recall.

The minimum number of signatures and the time limit to qualify a recall vary between states. In addition, the handling of recalls once they qualify differs. In some states, a recall triggers a simultaneous special election, where the vote on the recall, as well as the vote on the replacement if the recall succeeds, are on the same ballot. In the 2003 California recall election, over 100 candidates appeared on the replacement portion of the ballot. In other states, a separate special election is held after the target is recalled, or a replacement is appointed by the Governor or some other state authority.

Now, we need to find out if Missouri is one of the 18 states........
