You tried break our legs, so that we might not march. You tried to gag our mouths, so that our voices might not be heard, you locked us out of the people's house so that we could not debate your crimes, you tried to cover our eyes, so that we might not see the full scope of your deeds... and now you seek to entrench yourselves in office by co-opting and corrupting the very powers given to you by the people... by writing into law provisions that would not allow for your recall. You seek to usurp the people's power... to bind us by subterfuge, and crush us under procedural red tape.
What you don't understand is this... if you remove all options available to the people... take away every democratic mechanism to balance the scales, and to have our will represented - what mechanisms that are left... however unsavory, however difficult, however distasteful... will be the means of your downfall, and the messenger of this democracy.
Best to leave the people's only remaining voice alone. We will have our recall. Does it happen on ballot? The choice is yours.
But make no mistake... it will happen.
