Just over a month remains before the March 17 deadline for submitting signatures to recall California Governor Gavin Newsom (D). As of Feb. 12, 1,509,000 signatures had been collected by private citizens. Over the weekend, volunteers across California are scrambling to collect signatures with a goal of 1.8 million signatures to ensure that there are more than 1,495,709 valid signatures.

Recall Newsom organizer Orrin Heatlie says this is the largest petition drive in California history, with volunteers working daily, the signature collection gaining endorsements from Republicans and the Tea Party, and Democrats fed up with Newsom.
Volunteers from all over the world grasp the Time to collect the signatures
On the 13th, just after 1 p.m., a young man passing by a sign collection booth in the Westminster, Orange County area joined the group in waving his arms and shouting, “Remove Newsom!” And on the 12th, this booth collected over 400 signatures in one day, and the volunteers were very happy.

At another set of signature collection sites in Irvine, resident Natty said, “It’s our first time in Irvine, and we really hope that local Chinese volunteers will join us in collecting signatures, they will be more familiar with the situation.” Now that the recall campaign victory is in sight, there are already some people gearing up for a run for governor.
Resident Vlado said, “A friend told me to come sign the petition, I have a small business of my own and Newsom’s policies restrict us too tightly.” When the signature drive first began, volunteers had to explain why they wanted to recall Newsom; now they basically don’t have to say anything, everyone knows.
Over the past few months, the reporter saw that there were volunteers of different ethnicities and ages at the visa collection point, there were relatively few Chinese volunteers, but there were also Chinese who had been out to collect visas since last June, Ms. Zhang said, “It’s actually quite hard, it’s harder to build a shack for one person, it’s very sunny and thirsty in summer, and we went to a lot of cities, sometimes we met people with very bad attitudes, but it’s very worth it. We want to elect people who can represent public opinion.”
That morning in Stanton, where mayors, vice mayors and volunteers from three cities were handing out masks and other items to residents, Walnut Vice Mayor Qin Zhenguo said of his start in politics, he felt he was guided by God that he should serve the community, not for fame, profit or power. “Some elected officials forget their oath of office, forget that God is on top, forget that the people are on top.”

The public is happy to hear that the second impeachment has failed
On the afternoon of the 13th, at the signature collection point, people were excited to learn that the Senate had found President Trump not guilty, shouting, “Trump is not guilty! Wow …… we love Trump! Trump is our president!” And then waved the American flag vigorously.
People at the signing ceremony congratulated President Trump on “President’s Day”.
Resident Jones said, “Trump is innocent, and you (House and Senate) should be ashamed that you were wrong to impeach a president who has left office and did not follow the legal process. Over 75 million of our people have been harmed. You conducted two impeachments and President Trump was found not guilty the second time! You have wasted our taxpayers’ money.”
Resident Ms. Nguyen spent a sad day for President Trump on Jan. 20, the day Biden took office. She said, “I don’t feel tired, I want to stand up and not see America slide into communism.” She was especially happy when she heard the news of Trump’s acquittal, “You know what? I’m praying for Trump every day, for America!”
Another Ms. Nguyen said, “My friends in the states love Trump forever, and not only in the U.S., but people in many countries in South Asia feel that President Trump has resisted the Chinese Communist Party, and Biden’s policies on stage have made them love Trump even more.”
Jones, a resident, said, “We’re going to track down those seven people who voted to find guilty, and you’re going to be out. Our congressional representatives are making a farce, and you want to hurt the man who has worked so hard for this country? We will never be silent and we will come out next Monday on Presidents Day to celebrate for Donald Trump, our hardest working president!”
Trump is the twice impeached and twice acquitted president in U.S. history. The first impeachment took four weeks to be sent to the Senate by the Democrats, and the second, after President Trump had already left office, the House of Representatives quickly passed the impeachment proposal in one day. The Senate completed its deliberations in another five days and ultimately found Trump not guilty by a vote of 43 against guilty and 57 in favor, with seven Republicans voting in favor.
