I put it in Florida but I don't think there is enough traffic there. The things that Rick Scott is doing is unbearable.

1. You can't recall a Gov in FL
It would require changing the constitution.

5. I wonder what it takes to impeach a Florida governor?
Not that the Repig owned legislature would do it.

6. They have a bill now to allow recalls. A Republican is sponsoring it.
They must know how to do it.

3. Done and also
like "100,000 Floridians against Rick Scott" on facebook. Though I now live in Arkansas I still love my native state, Florida and have been watching with horror what it's being done to Florida by that carpetbagger called Rick Scott. What a criminal!

9. The only thing you can do is to work to get rid of repubs in the Legislature next year.
That is where the efforts need to go. Get a Democratic majority, and pRick can be neutered.

11. That won't work. He just vetoes $615 million that was presented to him.

THE VILLAGES -- At a campaign-style event that banned some Democrats, Republican Gov. Rick Scott fashioned himself into Florida’s new veto king Thursday when he axed $615 million from the state budget before signing it.

The biggest target of the veto pen: $305 million targeted for environmental land buys. Scott also cut $169 million in college projects and vetoed scores of hometown spending lawmakers earmarked for their districts.

Scott blamed “special interests” for the “shortsighted, frivolous, wasteful spending” — thereby irking some of his fellow Republicans who control the Legislature. Some accused him of hypocrisy, others of inflating his veto amount with financial gimmickry.

Below a banner that read “Promises Made, Promises Kept,” Scott brandished his red Sharpie veto pen and called on legislators to use some of the freed-up money to bolster education.

“I’m confident that most of us agree that school funding is far more important than spending those dollars on alligator marketing, or boat racing or anything else that the Tallahassee insiders think is so important,” Scott said, pointing to a few of the line items he vetoed.

Scott never mentioned the fact he originally called for a bigger cut to schools than the Legislature ultimately approved.

House Speaker Dean Cannon, R-Winter Park, took umbrage with Scott’s “new found emphasis” on increased education spending.
