Libertarians Resolve to Recall Davis
ONTARIO, CA -- The Libertarian Party of California has become the
first political party to officially endorse the recall of Governor
Gray Davis. At their state convention, held over the President's Day
weekend in Ontario, the party passed a resolution to support the
effort to remove the beleaguered California governor, who enters his
second term with an approval rating of 24 percent.
The recall, as authorized by the California Constitution, requires
collecting almost 900,000 petitioner's signatures. The daunting task,
if successful, would be unprecedented and would exceed even the
victory voters achieved with the passage of landmark Proposition 13,
whose 25th anniversary taxpayers will celebrate this year.
The Libertarian Party of California recognizes that a successful
recall of Governor Davis will require a statewide grass-roots,
non-partisan movement. Nevertheless, the group's next step in active
support of the recall drive will be to call on other political parties
to join them, beginning with the California Republican Party which
holds its own convention this coming weekend, February 21-23. The
Libertarian Party will send their newly elected Secretary, Lori
Adasiewicz, to address the GOP delegates and entreat them to back the
endeavor. Ms. Adasiewicz was chosen by the Libertarians to deliver
their message as an invited guest of California Republican Party
Chairman Shawn Steel, Esq. who visited the Libertarian convention last
Sunday and witnessed the adoption of the resolution to recall Davis.
