Flushing residents are collecting signatures from passers-by to recall two local politicians—Councilman John Liu (Queens) and New York State Assemblywoman Ellen Young. The Epoch Times interviewed some of the supporters on July 20, 2008. On July 4, a dozen Flushing residents initiated the “committee for recalling John Liu and Ellen Young” for their assisting crimes committed by the pro-communist thugs. More than 50 Chinese people signed to support on July 4. The campaign is co-sponsored by Chairman of China Democracy Party Union Wang Jun; Chairman of Peace Democracy Union of China Tang Baiqiao; a representative of the Korean community, Mr. King; the director of central committee of Liberty Democracy Party of China, Zheng Nan; and others.

Port of Seattle Commissioner Pat Davis' defense against a recall petition in front of the state Supreme Court may hinge on a technicality. K&L Gates partner Suzanne Thomas told the court that Davis' signature on an Oct. 10, 2006, memo to former port Chief Executive Mic Dinsmore, extending his salary for up to one year after he retired, "was not based on a gift of funds but rather a transition process to keep Dinsmore in office until a successor was found." Justice James Johnson asked Thomas the question that recall petitioner Chris Clifford -- a teacher from Renton with a strong streak of open-government activism -- has been waiting to test for more than a year. "Isn't the jury the public, so don't you make that argument to the voters, not the court?" Johnson asked.

The 32-year-old Jefferson Parish resident who filed a recall petition last week against Gov. Bobby Jindal said today he will drop the effort now that the governor has vetoed the legislative pay raise bill. Ryan Fournier, 32, is a Republican who voted for Jindal but was dismayed by the governor's refusal, until Monday, to stop lawmakers from more than doubling their pay. "I think we ought to throw in the towel as far as a recall," Fournier said this morning.
