RC-01-2004	Committee to Recall Governor Napolitano	200402567	September 10, 2003	January 8, 2004	306,528
	Committee to Recall Governor Napolitano Charles Goodson, Chairman/Applicant 415 S. Terry Lane Tempe, AZ 85281 480/966-9746
	The petition to recall Governor Napolitano is based on her unwillingness to serve the people of Arizona in a responsible and reasonable manner. She has violated the constitution of a sovereign State of Arizona by legislating with her power of Executive Order in direct violation of separation of branches of government. She has shown little to no regard for the legislature of the State of Arizona and has assumed their authority upon herself by the use of line item vetoes. She has refused to support industry based on natural resources, regardless of the will of the people. She has also refused to take the advice given her, about the needs of the forest, by her own forest advisors. She has made promises to a number of communities who supported her during her election campaign and now find themselves disadvantaged by her failure to perform them. In the first 8 months in office she has spent too much money on her staff and travel expenses. She also left for her Grand Canyon vacation knowing that there was a fuel crisis building and refused to attend to the needs of the people she serves. We cannot afford to keep her in office.
