SIGNATURES
TO RECALL GRAY DAVIS
(SACRAMENTO)
– The Recall Gray Davis Committee announced today that over
100,000 signatures have already been collected for the Recall
Gray Davis campaign. The surge above the 100,000 signature mark
came after the Chairman of the Recall Gray Davis Committee, The
Honorable Howard Kaloogian, appeared on talk radio stations throughout
the state last week to rally listeners to collect 50,000 signatures
in the last week alone.
The
100,000 signature mark is significant because this will trigger
the official beginning of the count of valid recall signatures
by the County Election offices.
This
is the first time in California history that a recall effort against
any elected statewide officeholder has reached this stage in the
recall process!
Over
400,000 Petitions Already Distributed
“This
is just the tip of the iceberg. There are over 400,000 recall
petitions in circulation right now and our push in the past week
has been to get people to send their petitions back in to our
headquarters,” declared Recall Gray Davis Committee Chief
Strategist, Sal Russo.
Each
petition contains 5 signature blocks meaning that up to 2 million
signatures could be collected when all of the petitions currently
circulating are returned. The Recall Gray Davis Committee has
also mailed out tens of thousands of petitions via U.S. mail over
the past three weeks in response to requests from California voters.
Over
8,000,000 Hits to RecallGrayDavis.com Website
The
surging recall campaign has benefited from strong Internet traffic
to the official website of the Recall Gray Davis Committee –
www.RecallGrayDavis.com
which has logged over 8 million hits since it went online February
4, 2003.
“We
are making history with the success of this recall thanks to the
use of the new technology of the Internet allowing us simultaneous
communication and distribution of petitions to voters in every
part of the state,” explained Russo.
