	Wikipedia: Democracy
		Representatives are expected only to transmit the decisions of electors, advance their views, and if they fail to do so they are subject to immediate representative recall with only minimal process.
		This is contrasted to the expectation that such representatives should consider the views of their electors - an expectation particularly common in States with strong constituency links, or with representative recall provisions (such as modern British Columbia).
		Some critics of representative democracy argue that party politics mean that representatives will be forced to follow the party line on issues, rather than either the will of their conscience or constituents.

	Representative recall: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Representative recall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Representative recall refers to any system of political representation, especially a representative democracy, where those represented have the power to recall their representative from the assembly, legislature, committee, conference, or other body where s/he is inadequately representing their own values and/or views.
		It is not always necessary for an actual law to be applied to all representatives, if party discipline is effective and existing laws give parties the power to disempower sitting representatives, then an informal system of representative recall is possible.
		If the members of any CA riding association vote to recall a CA federal Member of Parliament presently in office, that representative is denied all funds and support for re-election, and other CA members cannot sit in caucus with them, nor share party funds with them.

		California's first-ever gubernatorial recall election was held on October 7, and after several legal and procedural delays the results were certified on November 14th, 2003, making Davis the first governor recalled in the history of California, and just the second in U.S. history.
		Furthermore, there is a high correlation between the success of the recall signature gathering effort and the inability for the California Legislature and the governor to agree on a new state budget.

	Recall election - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Along with the initiative and referendum, it was one of the major electoral reforms advocated by leaders of the Progressive movement in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
		Until Gray Davis's recall in October 2003, no California statewide official had ever been recalled, though there were 117 previous attempts.

	Talk:Disapproval voting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The legitimate issue is that representative recall may be formal disapproval, but it may not be disapproval voting as such.
		Of course, in a recall vote there are typically two choices: recall and don't recall.
		In the case of the state, this means that the representative democracy can function normally (without delays or interference), but can still be controlled by direct democracy.

	Referendum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		A plebiscite, in its narrow sense, is the request for approval of a (radical) governmental decree or approval of the general policies of the government, typically in states without democracy, parliamentarism or a representative parliament.
		In most jurisdictions practicing representative democracy referenda, the calling of these can only be achieved through the act of a legislature and is a relatively rare event.
		In some jurisdictions measures such as constitutional amendments, ordinary laws or the "recall" of elected representatives must be put to a referendum upon the request of a certain proportion of voters, in a process called the "initiative".

	Sharon Ambrose Recall
		A recall should not be begun simply because one disagrees with the position taken by one's representative.
		A recall is something that should occur when there is some sort of malfeasance, corruption, negligence, gross incompetence (like that of the former governor in California) or the like.
		I predict the recall effort, though misguided, will only bring out the legions of those supporting Sharon Ambrose for the excellent effort she has given our area in the years before and since she was a member of the council.
