So, I haven't posted something here in a while because I've felt like I need to do something. So, I've spent a lot of time thinking about what is going on and what we, the average citizen can do.
And I think I've come up with an idea!!
I've done a lot of digging and I'm getting tired of our federal politicians. Our local reps. are doing fairly well.
But, I had a thought because Mr. Hatch doesn't come up for reelection until 2012.
I have found that many states have what is called a recall provision. So what this entails is if the state is unhappy with the way their state reps. are acting, a petition is gathered and if enough signatures are received, then they can put into effect a recall of that person. Which would cause a special election to take place to allow the state to let the person remain in place or elect someone else in his/her stead.
I like this idea, so we don't have to wait for our vocally inclined friend in Washington to come up for reelection. To take this a little further, this would at least put a little fear into them that their job isn't sure until the next election, but that they can lose their jobs at any time if they try and get drug dealers out of jail and such.
If a law like that was put into place, they all would wonder about the stability of their jobs and start voting like Utah wants, not what their pockets or the party says. Then if that doesn't fix things then we use the law to remove them from their seat and get someone real in there the represents us and our desires.
If you like this idea let me know and just leave me a comment.
