| 52 | Donald Barnett | I support the recall of Chambliss and Isacson |
| 53 | Scott Robinson | They're trying to ram this down our throats and they deserve to draw back a nub! |
| 54 | Donald E Myrick | |
| 55 | Tracy Robar | |
| 56 | Mike Cunningham | I'm so disappointed that those we elect ignore our will and betray us. How can you give away the USA for the temporary benefit of big business. |
| 57 | David Daniels | It's time for them both to go. |
| 58 | James Hutson | Anybody that supports this immigration bill will not get my support at election time. |
| 59 | Pat Henry | Senatory Chambliss has participated in promotion of a plan to destroy my country's sovereignty. |
| 60 | Todd Walker | They've shown us their true colors folks. |
| 61 | Donald E Myrick | S.1348 is a betrayal of American values and heritage. Our senators have sold their votes.

| 66 | Travis Cooper | |
| 67 | William D. Wilson, Jr. | Just the fact that our senators would even take part in this is treasonous. Support for amnesty and other pro-business provisions at the expense of the American population's best interests are just a few reasons to have both senators recalled. |
| 68 | Joselle Wilson | Y'all forget you work for and serve US, the citizens of GA not big business and special interest groups. Sell out the citizens of GA and American and pay the price. |
| 69 | William Wilson | I have grown so disgusted with Washington especially President Bush and the Congress overall. We've been sold out. TIme to retake the country from the scum running it. |
| 70 | Stephanie | HUGE MEXICAN FLAG - flying at Green's Corner Shopping Center -Norcross, GA - Jimmy Carter Blvd. This is just the beginning. WAKE UP YA'LL !!! |
| 71 | Bruce Benfiel | I fully agree with the above statement. I did vote for both Senators and now demand they both be recalled. They do not accurately represent their constituents, nor do they hold the best interests of these United States of America at heart. S.1348 compromises national security.
Very Sincerely

The Recall Election
The recall election is generally conducted in one of two ways. In some states, the recall election is held simultaneously with an election for the official's successor. In others, the recall ballot simply asks voters if the official in question should be recalled, and if a majority of voters vote "yes," the office is declared vacant.
In the six states where the election for a successor is held simultaneously with the recall election, the election is handled in two ways. In California and Colorado, the first question on the ballot is whether the official should be recalled. Voters are then asked to vote for a candidate for the office; the official who is the subject of the recall may not be listed among these candidates candidate. In the other states using the simultaneous model, the submission and certification of the recall petition essentially triggers a special election for the office, and the recall ballot consists of a list of candidates for the office. The name of the official who is the subject of the recall may appear on the ballot along with other nominees. In fact, in Arizona and Wisconsin, the name of the official being recalled is automatically placed on the recall ballot for reelection.
In the remaining 12 states, the recall ballot contains only the question of whether or not the official should be recalled. If the majority vote is "yes" for recall, the office is declared vacant and is filled at a special election or as otherwise provided by law, which in some states is by appointment for the remainder of the term. The chart below details how the recall election is conducted in each state.

2) In these states, the recall ballot consists of two parts. The first asks whether the officer against whom the recall petition was filed should be recalled. The second part consists of a list of candidates who have qualified for the election. The name of the officer against whom the recall petition was filed may not appear on this list.
3) The governor appoints a successor who must be a member of the same political party as the officeholder recalled, and must be selected from a list submitted by a committee of the political party of the person recalled.
4) If vacancy occurs within 85 days of the general election in the second year of the term (terms are for four years), the county board of commissioners appoints a successor to serve until the election.
5) County board of commissioners appoints a person from a list submitted by a committee of the political party of the person recalled.

| 91 | David Farrar | Okay, I have heard Chambliss in his own words. That’s it. I’ve had enough of Chambliss. I want to hit the recall button. I’ll be setting up a website and working to recall Chambliss. If he doesn’t understand government enough to realize once you give money to doctors (or anybody) to explain to a sick or possibly bedridden elderly person how much better off it would be for all concerned if they would just die naturally, it becomes a “death panel”. Once the government pays for it, instead of the patient, it will become a death panel.
As far as I am concerned, I will be inviting Sarah Palin to move here to Georgia and she can take his place in the Senate. But whether she comes to Georgia or not, I want Chambliss recalled as soon as possible.
