KEEP CALIFORNIA NEWSOM: VOTE NO ON RECALL.

ICHEOKU says Californians must rise up and reject a hysteria generated assault on the institution of democracy by saying no to the attempt to remove a duly elected Governor Gavin Newsom of California from office through a recall election. Anyone who wants to be governor of California must wait until the next governorship election and then go to the electorates and test their likability and popularity. 

But to use an orchestrated demonizing of the governor to try and get into the office is akin to using the back door and this must not be allowed. What happened last year at the height of the coronavirus pandemic took everyone by surprise and in the confusion, a lot of things were done that would not have been with clear heads and in a calm environment. Nobody, including the governor, should therefor be punished for some honest mistakes. 

Whatever the governor did, he did thinking that they were in the best interest of Californians. He was not out to intentionally punish or hurt Californians and should therefore not be punished for them, by taking away his fairly won governorship. Nobody died because he ate dinner at Napa or took his children to school. So, yes he was caught in Napa dinning without mask when the rest of the state was under his shutdown. But is it not using a sledge hammer where an ordinary scalpel would have been enough to reprimand him and tell him that Californians did not appreciate the apparent double standards. So, yes he took his children to private in person school when the rest of Californian children were studying online, but is such a mistake sufficient to yank away his governorship? 

ICHEOKU says sincerely believes that the message has been delivered and he has gotten it, never again to mess with Californians' intelligence. But unlike Texans who come out firing on all barrels from across the waist, Californians would rather intelligently assess the charges and apportion commensurate punishment as is necessary to register their displeasure but not to throw the baby away with the bath water. At most, let the California legislature censure him for the two conducts if they feel he needs to get some punishment as a result. But they are not egregious enough to take away his governorship. 

If what he did bothered on incompetence that California economy was on a free fall, may be recalling him would be a proper remedy. If what he is accused of bothered on criminality, of course, recalling him from office will be the right action. But what he did is more of a feeling  bothering on how Californians felt by his doing what he counseled Californians against. That is understandable, since we all are supposed to be equal; but sincerely speaking, are we all in fact really equal? All the fingers are not equal despite that they are all fingers. George Orwell in his Animal Farm also buttressed this point with some animals being more equal than others. 

So, we get it and we must therefore temper our anger and make necessary accommodations and move on. We must not allow our feeling to becloud our judgment, especially on matters as crucially important as running a State as huge as California, a state whose economy is the sixth largest in the world. To suddenly trust a radio talking head with such an onerous task as running California will be a very risky and reckless action and Californians are smarter than that with making risk assessments. Californians will not do it and Californians will vote NO to the recall. 

Haste makes waste and actions taken under the stress of events usually turn out not being the best to be taken had cooling time been allowed to elapse and heads cleared out. Let us not make a decision which we will later live to regret by pushing away a Governor Gavin Newsom who is doing his utmost best to keep California rolling. 

The Jews regretted their hasty action killing Jesus Christ. Americans are beginning to regret their hysteric offload of President Donald John Trump as the Joe Biden, who was pushed on them during the cacophony of last years coronavirus pandemic, is showing his hands on why he was not the best decision ever. Californians must therefore learn a lesson from this examples to avoid any future regret from axing Governor Gavin Newsom. The recall effort came about from a generated hysteria and like all such reactions, they always leave the people rueful and regretful later. Californians shall not fall for it and so, must vote to reject the recall with a resounding NO. 

There is problem of homelessness in California which the governor must begin got address seriously and he most likely got the message that his Napa dining out and his taking his children to school were just reactions to pent up frustrations about some things that are not going well in California, top among which is the deteriorating quality of life in California induced by out of control homelessness. He must begin to tackle this problem head-on and must not relax his oars or think that because voters rejected the recall means that they gave him license to carry on and not address this issue. 

If you haven't voted yet, go out there and vote NO on the recall and let California stay in the safe hands of Governor Gavin Newsom because Larry Elder or Caitlyn Jenner have no agenda for California. They are there just for the heck of it, for the bragging right that yes, a black talking radio head and a transgendered man ran in a governorship recall election of California. But they have no clue on how governance works and they have never ran anything outside their homesteads and toying with California by handing it to them will be too grave a mistake to make. 

Even the governor's giving Kamala Harris black senate seat to a Hispanic male, although painful, should not cause blacks boycott of the recall as a payback to him. The females of California have also probably forgiven him for taking that female senate away, thus reducing the number of women in the United States senate. But at last, what is in the best interest of majority of Californians should weigh more than some groups' respective interests and for this, Californians must band together to reject the attempt at a hostile takeover of Sacramento governor's mansion. California is too blue to go red, vote NO on the recall. #KeepCaliforniaNewsom.
