Republicans in Gavin Newsom recall say they would end California COVID vaccine requirements

No wonder Republicans in California had to rely on a special, off-schedule recall election as a means to implement their extremist agenda in California. But, it does super motivate the GOP's extremist base to turnout.

https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article253556674.html

Three Republicans seeking to replace Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom said Tuesday they are vaccinated, but would roll back his requirements that school employees and health care workers get vaccines against COVID-19 if they are elected governor next month.

They also agreed that they would not require masks to be worn in California public schools.

Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer said he would allow local officials to institute such mandates if they chose.

“We have to let our health officials and our doctors make decisions on a case-by-case basis and a regional basis,“ he said.

If these fucking assholes got a hold of California, we'd be Texas or Florida in a matter of days. We cannot let that happen under any circumstances!

The recall isn't popular, but it's a question of how many people vote. Luckily, virtually everyone is getting a mail-in ballot with a postage-paid envelope.

Definitely voting "NO" and telling the Christian right to go fuck themselves!

Several of the people I talked to were aghast at the idea of Larry Elder being governor.

I think we'd probably have a good chance to recall him when he did something stupid, but we shouldn't have to play their games.

All they do is complain, destroy and divide and turn everything good into shit. They talk a lot of trash, but that's all they have is trash talk, and even kindergarteners I know can flip shit better than they can. So I'll be happy to vote against them in every election!

...if Newsome was so bad, then just wait a few months for the 2022 elections. But, the goal of Republicans is to avoid voters and rely on a narrow minority of extremists to elect an extremist Governor.

picked up by the USPS and I'll get another text once it's received at the polling place. It took a total of 2 minutes to vote and mail it in. If we lose this recall election because enough Democrats don't vote, we deserve what we have coming with Larry Elder as our new Gov.

I spent couple of hours making calls against the recall yesterday. Almost all calls go to voice mail, and you just hang up. Of the people who answered, I got one guy who couldn't wait until he got rid of Newsom, but he was polite. I had several really wonderful calls with people who are voting no. Just about all of them thanked me for making calls.

I made calls in NC for November last year and for GA in January, and the experience was fine. These calls were a lot more fun.
