Comments on How to Recall a U.S. Senator

"No member of Congress has ever been recalled in the history of the United States." I guess there was no fact-checker on this article?! Before the fraudulent 17th Amendment took affect, state legislatures had the ability to recall their senators and DID on occasion!!! Look up the time immediately before the War of Northern Aggression for an example!

I am a brand new member; it's nice to hear from other people who are "disillusioned" with our political process.I believe we must stop debating the big issues of our time. Abortion, social security, health care, gay rights and others. We are so divided on these issues that we are just spinning our wheels;nothing substantive will come from debate of these issues. We must all, republican/democrat, conservative/liberal, focus our energy on one, very attainable goal: remove all 535 members of congress.Ex-Senator Evan Byah from Indiana said it best, and I'm paraphrasing here, " every member of congress must be replaced, the institution itself is corrupt and incapable of doing what is right for our nation".

ddaigle3517, I too am from MI and fully support the recall of all Reps and Levin and Stabenow that voted for all of this nonsense.

can someone pleeeeeeeeeeease tell me where i can find the rules for georgia?

If you are from Michigan, I am considering a campaign to recall our state senators and congressman who voted against the people and voted in favor of national health care and a provision that allows for abortion to be funded by national health care. Is there anyone from Michigan who agrees?

Lets do this too Colorado! No legislation without proper representation!

I'm trying to do the same in calfornia. the only thing wrong with this is that there is no link to officail guide or forms.

I just took the time to contact my state senator and ask her to present a bill to the Nebraska Legislature in the 2010 session allowing the voters of Nebraska the right to recalll any elected official to incude sitting U. S. Senators. I encourage you all to do the same if your state does not have the provision. No matter your stance on the issues facing us as a community and a Nation, VOTE!

@alexwill - I came here for the same reason. I guess 2012 just can't come soon enough...............

to der 123- BTW- those tax cuts-you're bitching about-go to businesses-that create jobs for about 60% of us Americans! A job -you know what that is --don't you? It sounds to me like the only word you understand is--handout! If you don't understand that-maybe you understand the concept of stealing- also known as government taxation and regulation of my private property to redistribute to someone like you--that didn't earn it, doesn't deserve it, and doesn't have a "right" to it!! Contray to what you parasites believe---nobody owes you anything--other than the right to life, liberty, and the "pursuit" of happiness--emphasis on "pursuit"--in other words -no guarantees!!

to der 123---Now that you bring it up---medicare is unconstitutional! And if I am wrong --please direct me to the location in the Constitution that says ---healthcare is a "right" that has to provided by me to you ! I see a right to freedom of speech etc.-but nothing about a "right" to healthcare !!!After all I am the government-where do you think the money comes from--the tooth fairy? BTW-the government has been stealing from me for so long--medicare is now bankrupt-trillions of dolars in debt! And your beloved Marxists in Congress (Reid, Baucus, Tester, Pelosi etc.)are now going to screw you by killing Medicare (read the Senator Reid -healthcare bill if you have 34 hours to spare) by taking some 500 Billion dollars from Medicare--in order to give it to someone else! A government powerful enough to give you everything you want--is also powerful enough to take everything away! BTW-...

mtrifle i suppose you think Medicare is unconstitutional? Don't make retarded baseless claims without a valid reason. And my god you people are stupid. line up and fight for the people who don't care about you. Who's taxes do you think they are going to cut? The only people Repubs want to cut taxes for are the people who make much more than you do.

Hello to All Americans who still believe in our Constitution, I wrote an email to an individual however I feel so strongly about this subject and the need to take back our country that I decided to post a general comment/message. In order to change what is going on in Washington we must be more vigilant in electing people who are honest, who state with certainty their positions and values and who will with exception represent the will of there constituents and not their political parties. Then we must hold them accountable! In my mind both of the major parties have long gone a stray. I live in Montana and I believe it is time for both our Senators to find new careers. I would like join this cause and start the recall process. I am willing to help file a petition, solicit and collect names and do what else I can. I think it is a disgrace that our Senators will not li...

I live in Montana and I would very much like to recall Senator Max Baccus. I believe that his and every other senator's votes on the health care bill violate the constitution, but I know that to recall him would be very difficult. That said, how embarrasing would it be if a recall petition was even started. I don't care what the attorney general likes or doesn't like. He is a Democrat, so I would expect him to say that we can't recall Baccus. If the petition were started and started to get wings, he would have no choice but to back the wishes of the citizens of the state. If we start it here, people in other states may start similar petitions. At the very least, the senators have to respond to these petitions and this will at the very least weaken them politicly. Just the fact that there was a recall petition will hurt their political career. They will have to back away from obama an...

Feinstein should be recalled, for the good of California!

Senator Diane Feinstein today voted AGAINST an amendment which would have released the EPA restraint on central valley farmers from receiving water for their crops. Their crops, orchards, their fields are burning up, and there are over 40,000 unemployed agrarian workers now unemployed, and those workers and the farmers themselves are now standing in line for food. Feinstein is participating in a deliberate attempt by our government to destroy the farm production of this great state, and to eventually starve citizens throughout the United States. This state produces 60}+%of major food products not only for the United States but worldwide, there are crops which are only produced here. Beyond this reprehensible vote today, Feinstein supports Cap and Trade, The Bailouts, the all inclusive and freedom grabbing health bill, the elimination of the Second Amendment, World Government. Sh...

The 18 states allow for recall of state reps and sen. The constitution currently does not allow for the people to recall US reps or sens. Each House call expell amoung other thing to their own members. I started thining last week or so that we need to be able to do this and went to my first Tea Party last night here in Ashatabula County OH and it was not mentioned. I did mention it to a few people but nothing has been dicussed yet. I do plan on setting up a web site to see if we can't get recall done. I did find out in doing some research that an amendment was proposed in the 103rd Congress (1993-1994) but the source of that info didn't state any action taken on it.
