Recall/Impeachment for Palin?

[Blue_In_AK]

From "Alaskan for Truth" Celtic Diva http://divasblueoasis.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=175

The calls started before, but picked up steam immediately after the Legislative Council's unanimous "yes" vote was announced...literally. I was on the air representing Alaskans for Truth at KUDO 1080 talking about the decision when I was asked "that question"...what are we going to do next?

"We're going to have a meeting," I said.

I guess that must have sounded like John McCain calling for a "commission" to deal with the Economy. It did nothing to satisfy the public's desire for action!

The reality behind my answer: I just wanted to give our membership the weekend off because we've worked hard and deserved to savor the victory! Additionally, 1) we're not sure of our next step and want to get input from knowledgeable sources before we announce anything and 2) CC comes home this week (yay!) and I want her to be thoroughly updated and involved in our decision-making process.

Of course, the calls/emails/in-person questions didn't stop there! I was even stopped in Costco (based purely on my "Alaskan Mama for Obama" t-shirt) and asked if I thought "someone" should start a Recall! I got a phone call today on my cell asking me the same thing...right in the middle of my daughter's 11-year-old birthday party.

So much for the weekend off!

Luckily, my daughter didn't give me a withering look when I got the phone call. She actually understands the magnitude of all this...better than many adults! My friend Phil Munger has his finger on the public's pulse as well. Progressive Alaska http://www.progressivealaska.blogspot.com/ has a poll running right now asking folks to vote "yes" or "no" on the Recall question. When I voted, there were 92 reponders and 84 of them voted "yes."

Phil is a wise man...he knows that what we need is feedback. I encourage folks to head over there and vote on it, especially if you are an Alaskan. I also encourage anyone with an idea, a plan, encouragement or criticism to leave a comment or send us an email at [e-mail]. Also, if you live here in Alaska, please click on the poll and let us know how you feel!
