Jeff Hewitt for Governor! 
By now we all know that the Libertarian Party of California has endorsed Jeff Hewitt, Supervisor, Riverside County as our candidate for governor in the recall election on September 14th. 
 
"When you have 31 billion dollars in unemployment fraudulent claims paid out, that's on a level we have never seen. That means that nobody is in charge. That's not compassionate. That's just stealing money from people and throwing it in the fire. 

There's an old saying that if you teach a man to fish, he can eat for life. But if you take 1 fish from one man and give it to another, people will vote for you. We have to stop that mentality. Government is not the answer. A lot of times government gets in the way."

Tales from the Newsom Recall Trenches

By Betz Stump, LPC, July 2021

This September, California will see a historic recall election of Gavin Newsom. To initiate a special election, approximately 1.5 million valid voter signatures, or 12 percent of registered California voters, are required. With 2.1 million signatures, Gavinโ€™s recall election garnered over 600,000 more signatures than the minimum. What you may not be aware of is some of the work behind the scenes that was needed to collect the 2.1 million signatures that were submitted by March 17, 2021.

Let's turn the time machine to 2019. Erin Cruz and Dr. James Veltmeyer both initiated campaigns to recall Gov. Newsom. While Veltmeyer was the one getting all the media interviews on the major networks, he was not actually submitting  the signatures he was collecting, He also asked for donations for paid petition signature gatherers. Cruz, on the other hand, ran a 100 percent volunteer-driven recall, and collected almost 300,000 valid signatures total between the required timeframe of September 2019 to February 2020.
