On Monday April 12th Lead Proponent of the Gavin Newsom Recall Orrin Heatlie addressed the Senate Elections Committee, in objection to SB 663, authored by Senator Josh Newman who also sits on the committee.
Senator Newman serves the 29th district and was the subject of a recall, in 2018 where the voters successfully removed him from office. He was the first State Senator to be removed from office by recall in more than a century.
During the 2020 election he ran again and won his seat back. Since that time, he has made it his personal mission to radically change the recall process in our state. The OC Registrar stated in an article published March 12th, “Some of the first legislation Sen. Josh Newman has authored since being elected back to the 29th district seat is about tightening the recall process with twin bills that would remove financial incentives for paid signature gatherers and another to give recall targets a new way to fight back.”
Orrin Heatlie stated, “this is dangerous and reckless legislation, which threatens the very fabric of the recall process. Privacy is key to participation. People are already afraid to place their names on a petition, in fear of retaliation and retribution. This governor has already shown a propensity for retaliation against his opposition. He threatened to pull permits, state licenses or revoke state board certificates for those who oppose his orders. Earlier he also stated California would no longer contract with companies working on the border wall.
Sen. Newman stated there were safeguards in the bill to prevent retaliation. But we all know how that has worked in the past. In recent history Lois Lerner abused the power of her office to weaponize the IRS to target conservative businesses and individuals who opposed the Obama Administration. Lois denied the allegations and plead the 5th on nearly every question posed to her during congressional hearings on the matter.
Sen. Newman went on to say, in summary: (Governor Newsom has access to social media and knows the names of the proponents and its not hard to identify the people involved.) He concluded by saying, “if he (Governor Newsom) wanted to retaliate, he would have already.” During the final moments of the hearing Orrin Heatlie respectfully asked to be recognized by the committee chair to reply directly to this comment but was denied. He later stated, “Governor Newsom has retaliated against the proponents of this recall already. He knows who we are, and his opposition team have gone to great lengths to launch a smear campaign against us. They have delved into our personal and private lives to dredge up anything they could use against us to paint our team in a negative light. Governor Newsom has shown us exactly what he would do with this information, as would any other elected official, if given the opportunity.
Sen. Newman himself stated the bill was amended to exempt smaller communities, where the recall would require less than 50,000 signatures. He said in summary: (those are small communities, where everyone knows everyone, and the real threat of retaliation exists.) That he acknowledged and admitted personal information of an individual who signs a petition could be used to retaliate against them by the target of a recall on a micro level proves the case it could also be used on a macro level, especially given the fact someone like Governor Newsom has access to unlimited resources.
In an open letter sent to Orrin Heatlie today, Don Perata (Chair State Senate Pro Tem Emeritus), Don demanded “immediate release copies of all the recall petitions you submitted to the County Registrars and Secretary of State.” He threatened, “Our Committee will pay for the cost of making copies. We are prepared to move forward with legal action seeking transparency and disclosure if the copies are not made available.” Adding, “Should you fail to act, we will proceed with further legal remedies. We are willing to discuss this matter but please understand that we will settle for nothing short of immediate release of all the petitions.”
RECALL PROPONENTS FILE LAWSUIT TODAY TO REMOVE GOVERNOR NEWSOM’S FALSE AND MISLEADING STATEMENTS FROM CALIFORNIA’S VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE
/in News, Updates /by Dan SeoaneFor Immediate Release 30 July 2021.
Lead Recall Proponent Orrin Heatlie’s argument in favor of the recall and Newsom’s argument against the recall were filed with the California Secretary of State for inclusion in the Voter Information Guide to be mailed to each registered voter in California. The Recall Proponents’ lead attorney Eric Early today filed suit in Sacramento Superior Court seeking an order to remove Newsom’s false and misleading statements from the guide.
Orrin Heatlie said, “The messaging used by Governor Newsom is divisive and hate filled. He falsely claims, this is a ‘Republican recall’, a Republican take over and power grab, led by ‘national Republicans who fought to overturn the presidential election and launched efforts to undermine the right to vote across the country,’ etc., etc.” Newsom seeks to include these same flat-out lies from his supporters’ campaign ads in the Voter Information Guide and we have taken legal action to stop it. The Voter Information Guide is an official document and the arguments are required to be factual and accurate by law. We will not tolerate Governor Newsom using this platform to spread his lies any further and I’m confident the Court will agree.”
Mike Netter, Main Proponent and Board Member of the Recall Committee said, “Is the Governor that arrogant or is he so ignorant he doesn’t feel that the California Elections Code applies to him? The law clearly states his argument cannot include false or misleading statements. He simply ignored the law and we aren’t going to allow him to get away with it. We are putting our foot down. We demand he retract the rhetoric and stick to the facts, just as we were required to do.”
Lead Counsel for the recall team and California Attorney General Candidate Eric Early added, “Again and again this governor has demonstrated a flagrant disregard for the law. The statements he made in his argument against the recall are false and misleading and violate the Elections Code, which prohibits such language. He needs to be held accountable for misleading the public and we are doing just that.”
202107.30 Verified Petition for Writ of MandateArgument to Recall Gavin Newsom
/in News, Updates /by Dan SeoaneVOTE YES to RECALL Gavin Newsom!
Over two million Californians from all walks of life signed petitions to Recall Gavin Newsom. They love our state and want to make things better. This is our chance to vote for positive change in California and elect a new Governor.
VOTE YES to RECALL Gavin Newsom. Here’s why:
Since Gavin Newsom took office, our problems have gotten worse. Gavin Newsom promised to fix the homeless problem, yet California’s homeless population increased dramatically even while he spent Billions on programs that do not work. Newsom promised to make California more affordable, but prices for gas, food, and housing have surged, making life here unaffordable for many middle and lower-income families.
Gavin Newsom promised to make California safer, but crime and homelessness have spiked since he ordered the early release of nearly twenty thousand prison inmates. Now Newsom is giving another seventy-six thousand the chance to leave prison early, making matters even worse. Gavin Newsom has continually misled the public. He arrogantly claimed to increase fire protection, yet an investigation by the non-partisan Capitol Public Radio concluded otherwise. Newsom cut 150 million dollars from the state’s fire protection budget and he misled the public about his fire protection record. To make things worse, California had a strong inmate firefighting crew. Newsom released many fire crew inmates early and cut their budget.
In November, Newsom told Californians stay home, wear masks, avoid gathering with family and friends. Days later in violation of his orders, he attended a fancy dinner with lobbyists at the exclusive French Laundry restaurant – without masks or social distancing. Newsom also secretly authorized a contract for nearly one-billion-dollars to outsource mask production to a politically connected Chinese company. The Head of that company donated tens of thousands to Newsom’s Campaign. The company was wired half a Billion dollars, without legislature approval. The governor’s office has refused to release information about this publicly. NOTE: California manufacturers could have filled the same order.
Newsom’s Employment Development Department spent over $30 billion in fraudulent payments to criminals and prison inmates, while forcing hundreds of thousands struggling, out-of-work Californians to wait months for their money. Newsom continues to mislead us. California is not “Roaring Back”. Instead, it’s on life support. His arrogance and self-dealing have made our problems worse. Crime is soaring. Homicides up 31% in 2020. Our state now has the worst homeless problem on record and the highest gas prices nationwide. The cost of living has driven many families, businesses, and corporations out of state. Public schools rank 37th K-12 overall and our roads are crumbling. Between 2008 and 2017, California had 4,300 blackouts. On Newsom’s watch, there were 25,281 blackouts in 2019 alone. Our water rationed and mismanaged forests are burning.
We deserve better. We deserve a Governor who will be honest with us. Someone who will work to solve our state’s very real problems: the cost of living, homelessness, crime, failing schools.

UPDATE: COURT SETS HEARING FOR JULY 9 ON CALIFORNIA PATRIOT COALITION’S EFFORT TO STOP NEWSOM’S LATEST ATTEMPT TO SKIRT THE LAW.
/in News, Updates /by Dan SeoaneWe have filed a Motion to Intervene in CA Governor Gavin Newsom’s lawsuit filed last week against his hand-picked Secretary of State Shirley Weber. Newsom is asking for the Court to allow him to place a “D” next to his name on the recall election ballot, even though Newsom blew the deadline for requiring the Secretary of State to do so by 16 months. We note that the deadline blown by Newsom is contained in a statute that Newsom himself signed into law.
The people of California have been on the receiving end of scores of outrageous orders and laws issued and signed by Newsom in his self-perceived role as King of California. Throughout his time in office he has acted above-the-law as if he is not subject to California’s Constitution, the State Legislature and the will of the great people of California.
We do not believe the Secretary of State will put up a strong (if any) defense to the lawsuit. Thus, we are seeking to intervene in the action to hold Newsom to the law.
Newsom well-knows the power of having a D appear next to his name in a California election. As one former Democrat political strategist was quoted last week as saying:
“Most California voters are not deeply engaged, and some may not know Newsom’s party affiliation. … It makes all the sense in the world for the governor to want to be identified on the ballot as a Democrat because … [i]f he can make sure that Democratic voters in California … know that he is one of them, he beats the recall.”[1]
Today the Court set a hearing on our Motion to Intervene for the morning of July 9, 2021. The Court has indicated that it will either allow us to intervene in the action or at a minimum use our briefs in considering how to rule on Newsom’s lawsuit.
Our legal briefs can be found here
Lead Counsel for California Patriot Coalition and Candidate for California Attorney General Eric Early, stated, “No one is above-the-law, certainly not Gavin Newsom. His terrible judgment, arbitrary and capricious laws, rules and orders have destroyed tens of thousands of small businesses, hundreds of thousands of jobs and countless lives. It is time that he be made to follow his own laws.”

Recall Election date has been set

The mainstream media will not cover the fact, this was the largest ever attempted petition drive in our nation’s history and will be a deciding factor in the future of our state.

Who supports the recall? The people of California, small business owners, the middle class, working families and everyday citizens from all walks of life, every culture, every race and people from across the entire political spectrum.
Gavin and the opposition team have tried everything they could to prevent the recall from happening and we have prevailed each time. They have filed lawsuits to stop the recall, they have launched smear campaigns, used threats and intimidation tactics to try and get people to remove their signature from the petition and failed. We, the people, have overcome every obstacle they have thrown at us.
Now the Governor is so nervous about the outcome, he is suing his own Secretary of State to assure a symbol of his political affiliation, the letter (D) be placed next to his name on the ballot, afraid people will not vote for him if it is not there. We have news for Gavin, that will NOT be the only reason the people vote for someone responsible and concerned about California to replace him.

Gavin Newsom’s liberal socialist “progressive” agenda has failed California on every level. It is his agenda and policies which have led to the highest cost of living, a rampant crime wave and overwhelming increase in homelessness. He is soft on crime and bad for business and needs to be removed from office.
Our way of life in California is under attack and Governor Gavin Newsom is leading the charge.
He has plummeted California into a state of despair. But fear NOT. We can stop him and turn things around. We can recall and replace him with someone who will make California a place people will be proud to call home again, where business can flourish and prosper.
Vote yes to Recall Gavin Newsom and unite to replace him.
This is a fight between good and evil. Failure is NOT an option.
Do you agree with Gavin Newsom’s open border, sanctuary state policies? Do you agree with Gavin Newsom using our tax dollars to provide medical care, housing, food and clothing for illegal immigrants before first addressing the needs of our Veterans and the homeless crisis? Do you agree California taxpayers should pay reparations, when California was not even a state that participated in slavery? Gavin Newsom says yes you should.
While Californians struggled to survive during the pandemic, Gavin Newsom spent his time signing bills and making executive orders to make things better for prisoners and pedophiles.
Gavin made it possible for fully bearded male inmates to be housed with female inmates, if the inmate were to declare they identified as female.
Gavin Signed SB145 eliminated the registration requirements for certain sex offenses, stating: “offender shall not be required to register if, at the time of the offense, the person is not more than 10 years older than the minor.”
We say Gavin should be removed from office and never be allowed to hold a position of power in government again. If you agree, you can help fund the fight by giving directly to the Official Recall Team Here:
California is in crisis, but help is on the way. You can make a difference by funding the fight! Derail Gavin Newsom’s highspeed train wreck and keep California on the right track.

Recall Newsom Lead Proponent Orrin Heatlie Slams Senator Josh Newman’s ‘dangerous and reckless’ proposed law that would alter future recall election standards

Vice President Kamala Harris’s Trip to Save California Gov. Gavin Newsom Called ‘Costly Political Theater’ by RecallGavin2020 Leaders

[email protected]
The RecallGavin2020.com team strongly feels the election to recall Governor Gavin Newsom is a matter between the people of California and their Governor.
Twice over the last week top members of President Joe Biden’s White House have now appeared with Newsom — and on Monday, Newsom appeared with Vice President Harris on a tour of a water treatment plant in Oakland.
Vice President Kamala Harris’s trip to California on Monday, April 5, needs to be called out for what it is: nothing more than a taxpayer-funded campaign stunt and political grandstanding.
When recently asked if she personally planned to visit the Border in response to the building humanitarian crisis there, Vice President Harris openly laughed, as if to mock the reporter for asking the question in the first place.
The RecallGavin2020 team have maintained a strict policy to not intertwine the recall with federal politics. Proponent Mike Netter stated, “This is a matter between the people of California and their governor. It does not involve this president, nor the previous one.” He said, “the vice president’s decision to visit the California Governor and tour a water treatment plant before so much as making an official statement about the border crisis leaves me questioning her political priorities. Where is her sense of compassion she so openly displayed at the border during the previous primary,” Netter concluded.
“Taxpayer paid campaign-style trips like the latest one on Monday, on behalf of the White House, to save Governor Newsom from the People’s Recall, is yet another indication of the gravity of this movement taking place here in California”. said Randy Economy, Senior Advisor and Official Spokesman for RecallGavin2020.
“At some point, Governor Newsom has to stop hiding behind President Biden and Vice President Harris and face the 2,125,000 California voters from all political backgrounds who have signed the recall petition to have him removed from office,” Economy concluded..

/in Why Recall /by Dan SeoaneI am voting to recall Gavin Newsom because he signed a law to ban access for adults to flavored vapor products in adult only vape shops. I smoked for 42 years and quit with vaping and I need access to these products to save my life. Democrats ban vaping and force adults back to smoking. That must end.
