Just 4362 signatures needed TOTAL for recall election of Sen. Floyd Prozanski

[Steve M]

His term is up in November so maybe a better use of time and effort would be in making sure he doesn't get re-elected?

I think he makes the perfect case for being held accountable. NOW. It sends an even better message to those who also may be up for re-election in Nov.

Ocarolan,

A Recall Senator Floyd Prozanski FB page has been created, but you seem to be on the button about details related to the recall requirements. I have contacts within Eugene, Cottage Grove, ARPC, ect, the time to get out the effort, but not time to spin wheels. Any locked down info as the who and where those signatures would need to come from would be appreciated.

See here. Prozanski is a Local Public Officer, so start on page 20.

It only takes one local voter to file a recall petition. In terms of publicity, even that small act could be newsworthy, and inspire caution among other politicians.

The Giron recall was filed by an unemployed plumber.

I don't know if just the gun-control issue is enough to be successful, though.

What other major mistakes has he made that would appeal to a broader group?

Who better to send a message, than the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee? 4300 signatures is peanuts! He was voted into office with 29,077 votes, Oregon law only requires 15% of that number to force a recall, so that is all it will take. A recall petition could be in place before he even gets his latest effort out of committee. I'd wager voting Senators would take note.

If you look at the election results from his latest run in 2010, he wasn't a blow out winner, considering it was after all, Eugene.

If this picks up traction I can make a financial contribution to your war chest. It may be a very good idea to contact the two guys in Colorado that started succesfully the recall of the two bad "A" legislators. They may know of short cuts to getting this job. Done.

I think we have plenty of horsepower to dump this guy.....if anything, it will put him on notice that his views on things are way out of alignment with Oregonians.

 

[Dunerunner]

I'm in, the message must be loud and clear that Oregonians won't stand for this crap.

More taxes. He's also in favor of the sales tax.

Prozanski is a gun hater , if you like your guns then you have to vote him out because he will continue to work at taking your firearms away look people , look at the crap he has endorsed to remove your rights . He is like a milk and cookies guy on most things but when it comes to firearms rights he is a rabid dog in my opinion he is a borderline mental case and will stop at nothing to get his personal agenda as law he is not for firearms rights he is for Floyd , period , end of story .

 

[OLDNEWBIE]

It only takes one local voter to file a recall petition. Has this got anywhere yet? It would be nice to let my Eugene acquaintances know about this. A show like Lars Larson would be another good place to jumpstart his removal BTW!

I just clipped this from the Draft Prozanski background check proposal:

(c) "Transfer" means the sale, gift or lease of a firearm.

I read this to mean rentals would be essentially outlawed because you'd have to wait for a background check. You could claim a rental "club card" pre-approval, except the draft law specifically states approvals expire after 24 hours.

I heard my presence was requested to spearhead this. I am willing to take this guy down. Whoever knows what is the best way to get this ball rolling please contact me at my e-mail. [email protected]
