1. I forgot about Feinstein's age...

Initially I sort of dismissed the effect a Newsom recall could have on the rest of the nation. However there have been some reports that Feinstein's age is starting to show in certain ways. We surely do not want a GOP governor appointing her successor should the worst happen.

So, as a California Democrat for the past 60 or so years, I'll do what I can to help Newsom stay in office. I think he's done a good job, and it seems obvious this recall is, as you say, more about Republicans trying to game the system (winning a low-turnout recall election and shift the US Senate) than his actual performance.

I've been seeing recent TV ads featuring Senator Elizabeth Warren urging Dems to vote against the recall. This is a good move, and I suspect more prominent Dems need to climb on board the anti-recall wagon. Even Biden making an appeal would be a good addition to the effort.

Any suggestions as to what an average California citizen can do to fight this latest cynical power grab from the Right?
