 VOTE "NO" ON RECALL, "NO" ON RACISM, C.T. WEBER for GOVERNOR   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The first and most important is the fatal flaw in California's recall process, combining the election on recall with an election for a replacement in which, if the recall gets more "yes" votes, the candidate with the largest number of votes is elected governor.

A vote for "No" on the recall combined with a vote for C.T. Weber, the Peace and Freedom Party member running for governor, will be simultaneously a vote against the undemocratic recall process and a vote for the democratic principles that Gray Davis ignores.
