Anna Gaines, a retired teacher leading the recall effort, said her group officially launched its recall effort because illegal immigrants are committing crimes in Phoenix and Gordon isn't doing enough to fix the problem.

"We have to remove him before he causes any more damage to this city," said Gaines, a native Mexican who came to the United States legally and became a U.S. citizen.

Her group needs to collect petition signatures from nearly 24,000 of Phoenix's 521,000 registered voters by Aug. 28. If enough valid signatures are gathered, Gordon could either resign or let voters decide whether to oust him.

Effort under way to recall Phoenix mayor

You go girl!

Good post, JDubsMom.

Mayor Gordon is nothing but a PANDERING FIRST PERSON SINGULAR SCUMBAG POLITICIAN with absolutely no ethics whatsoever!

If I only lived in Phoenix . . .

I think this is wonderful. If this illegal loving panderer is thrown out-it will be a huge hammer time party! I think we would need to bring out MC Hammer and that silly looking kitty for that

What a surprise he is using the word "extremists". Hmmm the woman leading the recall is a woman who came here legally and is an American citizen. She is now taking one of the most democratic American actions by starting this recall IMHO.

Compare her with those who come here illegally, do not obey the law and demand rights. Who is the "extremist"?

I am glad that you are finally coming to that realization about yourself. I am sure that if you work at it hard, you might actually be able to have a decent conversation with adults in the future.

This is great news! Hopefully other areas will rid themselves of pro-illegal traitors as well.

People such as this Mayor and many others should be tried for treason and given a sentence of no less than 30 years of manual labor in a prison in Mexico.
