CAN MARY LANDRIEU BE RECALLED?

The senator responsible for the $300 Million Louisiana Purchase, Mary Landrieu needs to start preparing for the wrath of her constituents, who have thrown down the gauntlet in the form of a recall petition.

The effort is both daunting and admirable. It looks to be legally sound as well based on the claim that Lousiana's Secretary of State Jay Darden has agreed to accept the claim.

The man behind the push to get this going is Ruben T. LeBlanc and you can see the case he makes HERE.

There are several sites out of Louisiana that are covering the story but CAUGHT HIM WITH A CORNDOG lays out the basics for what needs to happen:

"On Dec. 29, a recall petition was filed by Ruben Leblanc of New Iberia, for the recall of Mary Landrieu. Sec. of State Jay Darden stated that he WILL accept the filing."

Kinda like chicken fried bacon, this limited time offer won't last. Citizens have 180 days starting Dec. 29 so get with it today if you would like to see Me-ry "Louisiana Purchase" Landrieu hit the bricks before her service is up.

So what needs to take place in those 180 days?

MOVE ON MARY explains:

Our legislators, no doubt, did not want recall petitions to be used willy-nilly everytime someone gets annoyed by current office holders. They've made it difficult enough by requiring at least 33% of the voters who were registered to vote at the time of the office holders election.

What this translates to, in this attempt to remove Mary Landrieu, is the collection of 981,873 signatures of voters who were registered to vote on November 4th 2008.

Like I said, it's daunting but how many times have you heard people say they know there is something very wrong but don't know what to do. This is an actionable thing that the citizens of Louisiana can actually DO.

If you personally know someone in Louisiana, send them a link to this post and encourage them to get involved.
