We Are Not Alone
I strongly suggest that anyone reading about Nagin’s Stupid Award and getting pissed off about it get busy with a bigger club (so to speak). Eric Asher, longtime critic of the Nagin Administration, runs a mailbag day on his radio program on WIST, 690 AM. His normal hours of broadcast are noon to 3pm, monday through friday, and he answers email on the air during his friday show. (Warning: Tuning in early may expose you to the ultra-conservative bullshit of Neal Bortz. If it’s any consolation, I got Eric Asher to call him a liar and fraud, live on the air. Oh, happy day.)
His site also shows the ENTIRE TEXT of the Mayors invite, as in who’s on the list. Mister Asher demonstrates his thoughts on the Mayor’s job review by posting a downloadable PDF of a Recall Package, so you can be the first to start impeachmant proceedings on your block. Go here for details.

If not, it needs to happen. Wonder what the total required signatures for recall & special elections are at the mayoral level?

As much as I enjoy looking these things up, a single click on your part could save you doazens of questions here.

Link followed, and while the .pdf for the generic, untitled petition is there, this is no information about an active campaign to recall Mayor Nagin.
What I was *hoping* to see there was “go to these locations to sign a physical petition to recall Mayor Nagin from office” (as you have to have actual signatures) and “X# of signatures are required in order to force a recall (State law says 1/3 of registered New Orleans voters..yes?) Estimated number would be somewhere in the 40k area.
Online petitions don’t count, else this one would be important:

But in truth, this one is more informative….

damn….
I guess we’ll just have to wait on the feds to sort out the NOAH crap then, and hope.
Section 4-205.(3) (a) If the Mayor is convicted of a federal or state felony, the Mayor shall be automatically suspended from the seat without compensation.
