Oakland 'mayor' Libby Schaaf has overstepped her boundaries only five (5) months into her term. Oakland mayors have no power to do what Libby Schaaf has claimed authority to do.
The Charter in Section 207 provides in part: "The Council shall be the governing body of the City. It shall exercise the corporate powers of the City and, subject to the expressed limitations of this Charter, it shall be vested with all powers of legislation in municipal affairs adequate to provide a complete system of local government consistent with the Constitution of the State of California." When it comes to the powers of the mayor, the Charter in Section 305(b) says that the mayor has the power to "[r]ecommend to the Council such measures and legislation as he deems necessary and to make such other recommendations to the Council concerning the affairs of the City as he finds desirable. Obviously she believes that the people of Oakland are ignorant to the facts and blind to the law.
Oakland is more than just the hills and the gentry. Let's take Oakland back and have a REAL election with REAL choices for leadership. RECALL LIBBY SCHAAF! STOP THE SHAFT!

The feedback I keep getting is that people are tired of the Mayor acting like the Charter does not exist. Call your Council members today and demand they push back against this overreach. We are holding the line until the city stops ignoring its own rules.

The momentum is building and it proves that Oaklanders are tired of officials ignoring the City Charter. Post this link on your Facebook page today to keep the pressure on our city leadership. Pick up your phone and text three friends who live in the city to demand a real election.

Someone that triples your tax and triples your rent has to go! She's the reason the Raiders are leaving! She makes the poor poorer! She must go!
Oakland looks horrible. The roads are terrible, housing prices through the roof, crime is rampant. She is not qualified and should be thrown out on her butt.
vote for someone that knows what they are doing!!!!
she's gotta go
How on earth can a Mayor hide criminals???????
She needs to be fired for putting illegals first over americans.
She is not only putting the residents of Oakland in danger, her actions endanger the neighboring cities and counties. What kind of power trip is she on, defying the federal government, she needs to go

Oakland needs someone who understands the problems facing its citizens and can handle the history and cultural aspects that contribute to the problems.
