ALL EFFORTS TO COLLECT ENOUGH SIGNATURES TO LAUNCH A STATEWIDE RECALL OF CALIFORNIA'S GOVERNOR. &gt;&gt; IT'S REALLY A GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT, UNLIKE ANYTHING WE'VE EVER SEEN, WHICH I THINK REFLECTS NOT ONLY THE LEVEL OF DISSATISFACTION WITH THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT, BUT THE DESIRE FOR REAL FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE COURSE CORRECTION. THE REPORTER: NOW A NEW MILESTONE. ORGANIZERS SAY THEY'VE COLLECTED MORE THAN ONE MILLION SIGNATURES. TO PUT THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE, THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE SAYS THE GROUP NEEDS MORE THAN 1.4 MILLION SIGNATURES BY MARCH 17th. AS OF DECEMBER 7, THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE HAD ONLY RECEIVED MORE THAN 500,000. REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY MEMBER, KEVIN KILEY WHO REPRESENTS PORTIONS OF EL DORADO, PLACER AND SACRAMENTO COUNTIES TOLD ME, HE HOPES HIS NEW BOOK HELPS THE RECALL EFFORTS SUCCEED. &gt;&gt; I HOPE THE BOOK WILL ILLUSTRATE, THE FUNDAMENTAL SOURCE OF THOSE PROBLEM IS THAT OUR STATE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN CORRUPTED, AND IT'S RUN BY SPECIAL INTERESTS, THAT IT DOESN'T REFLECT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE, THAT IT DOESN'T SERVE THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND THAT HAS NEVER BEEN MORE TRUE DURING THIS ERA OF ONE MAN RULE UNDER GAVIN NEWSOM FOR THESE LAST 10 MONTHS. TE REPORTER: TODAY, CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC LEADERS DENOUNCED THE RECALL, SAYING THE SAME GROUPS INVOLVED IN IT PARTICIPATED IN THE RIOT AT THE NATION'S CAPITOL. &gt;&gt; THIS RECALL EFFORT, WHICH REALLY OUGHT TO BE CALLED THE CALIFORN COOP IS BEING LED BY RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY THEORISTS, WHITE NATIONALS, AND GROUPS WHO ENCOURAGE VIOLENCE ON OUR DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS. THE REPORTER: BUT KILEY SAYS THE COMPARISON IS DANGEROUS. &gt;&gt; TO TRY TO CONFLATE AND WAFFLE POLITICAL MOVEMENTS, THAT SEEKS TO CREATE CHANGE THROUGH THE LEGAL CHANNELS BE, WITH THAT HORRIFYING EVENT THAT HAPPENED BACK, IT'S VERY IRRESPONSIBLE. THE REPORTER: AND WHILE DEMOCRATS ARE ASKING CALIFORNIANS TO REFUSE TO SIGN THE PETITION, ORGANIZERS REMAIN HOPEFUL THEY'LL GET THE SIGNATURES NEEDED TO GET THE RECALL ON THE BALLOT. IN SACAdvertisementAs petition to recall Gov. Newsom grows, state Democrats urge people not to sign itThe impact of the violence in Washington, D.C., one week ago can be felt as far as California, with some state leaders likening it to an effort to recall the governor.“Some of the same individuals and groups who are encouraged by California Republican leaders and attacked the People’s House are also engaged in a recall effort against Gov. Gavin Newsom right here in California,” said California Democratic Party Chair Rusty Hicks.Republican Assemblymember Kevin Kiley, R-Rocklin, who represents portions of El Dorado, Placer and Sacramento Counties said comparing the riots and the recall is dangerous.“To try to conflate a lawful political movement that seeks to create change through the legal channels with that horrifying event that happened back east. It's very irresponsible,” Kiley said.Kiley and another Republican colleague, James Gallagher, R-Yuba City, had taken the governor to court, claiming Newsom did not have the authority to mandate all Californians receive mail-in ballots for the November Election.A Sutter County judge ruled in favor of the Republican lawmakers, stating the governor has the authority to issue orders under the California Emergency Services Act but not to make or change statutes.Tuesday, California Democratic leaders denounced the recall and asked Californians to refuse to sign it. Their announcement comes as recall organizers say they’ve collected more than 1 million signatures.To put things in perspective, the California Secretary of State’s office said the group needs more than 1.4 million signatures by March 17. As of Dec. 7, the Secretary of State’s office said they’d only received more than 500,000. The movement to recall the governor began last year.Kiley said he hopes his new book helps the recall effort succeed. “It’s an opportunity for the people of California at a moment where we’ve never been more attentive to our state government, where people have never been more dissatisfied and more affected and more impacted by state government than ever before to directly make their mark on the future of government here in California in a way that people don’t usually have the chance to do,” Kiley said.The impact of the violence in Washington, D.C., one week ago can be felt as far as California, with some state leaders likening it to an effort to recall the governor.“Some of the same individuals and groups who are encouraged by California Republican leaders and attacked the People’s House are also engaged in a recall effort against Gov.
