Say No To Recall Therapy
I haven't had much to say about the silly-ass recall effort being championed by some pinhead named Warner. Now that it looks like there is a serious chance of an actual recall election occurring I feel obligated to comment.
Unfortunately, I think Mendenhall's group, Obtuse People For Change will be able to get enough signatures to trigger an election. The low threshold seems obtainable for these cranks especially if they use targeted contacts to get signatures. A knock list made up of disgruntled cops who feel trapped in Akron and dummys caught by red light cameras will get them half of the way there. The other half will come from anyone who either doesn't like Plusquellic or thinks Joe Finley is a fountainhead of civic leadership.
The anti-recall, defend Mayor Don group now has a web presence called Citizens For Akron where followers can learn about the stupidity of the recall ploy and take blood oath to the Mayor.
Sure I signed up and vowed to fight to the death because I like Plusquellic. My real motivation is the complete disdain I have for the recall process. Rarely has the recall option ever been used for its intended purpose. This latest variation is made even more detestable by the cast of whiners and flakes that are pulling the strings.
Come on man, recalls are something they do in Norton every three weeks. Do you want Akron to become a laughingstock? Get out there on the internets and sign up to defeat the recall effort even if you are a detractor of our blustery Mayor. Don't let one man's quest to feel loved supplant the real election process in Akron.
