Recall Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons
Governor Jim Gibbons is unethical and a liar. He is not fit to serve as Governor of Nevada. The recall effort should begin immediately. Nevada can not withstand another 2 years of his embarassing public behavior or his bumbling mismanagement of our resources..
Before being elected he accosted a woman, was involved in shady financial deals and had an illegal immigrant working in his home.
Then he hired and appointed all of his buddies to state posts and positions. And, we must not forget his mysterious midnight swearing in. What a joke! He just wanted to railroad another one of his friends into a seat on a state board.
He has destroyed our healthy state budget. He hasn't helped Nevada family's facing the worst foreclosure crisis in the state. He doesn't understand why we are so upset about the healthcare scare. We are over a billion dollars in the hole and all is can say is 'no new taxes'? He calls this leadership?
His public behavior is worse. His entourage of Playboy model female friends. Texting with his gal pal on a state phone during business hours. Hanging in Vegas hot spots like he is 20-something. The Governor's Office is no place to have someone who is having his middle meltdown at age 63.
And now he has screwed Elko County of $4,985 when he and his buddy pressured the county assessor to claim that his acreage is for grazing. Our small counties can ill afford to loss revenue like this. And we all know the land was purchased from one of the Gov's buddies to build his retirement place.
In point, he doesn't get it. It is time for him to go. It is time for Nevada voters to retire this guy. Nevada cannot afford 2 more years of his mismanagement.

We need to send a message to those who can organize this recall effort that they have support and that they can succeed.
Governor Jim Gibbons should have never been elected. Had the voters known the truth about him, he may never have been. But now we have a crook and a lying in the Governor's Mansion. It is time to send him an eviction notice.
While serving in the US Congress, Mr. Gibbons was investigated for ethics violations. Those, apparently, were the tip of the iceberg. He is now the target of an FBI investigation for taking free travel and gifts from a man whose company was seeking very lucrative government contracts. Gibbons traveled and dined and the company got the contract.
His wife got a cushy 'job' with another company seeking government contracts. The list of political paybacks to the Gibbons' is growing.
And as if that is not reason enough there's a long list of other ethical issues:
* the Gibbons' hired an illegal immigrant as a nanny and paid her cash under the table. Then they fired her when she told the truth about her employment with them.
* Gibbons was involved in a situation with a single mom who works as a cocktail waitress. She says he made a move on her. He says no such thing, he was just walking a drunk lady to her call. Whatever it was, it was creepy for a married man to even think about letting an intoxicated person drive.
*Gibbons has a medical condition that causes him to shake. Just after being sworn it, the condition was noticed by the media. He never disclosed this condition during the campaign.
The man is a liar and a crook. He is not fit to serve the citizens of Nevada. It is time for him to go and to quickly.

I am disgusted with the governor's appointments to the various boards......
Circulate a petition and I'll sign, too.

Jim Gibbons should be recalled before irreparable harm is done to the State of Nevada. His lack of leadership and his policies are hurting Nevada and Nevadans. RECALL JIM GIBBON
I have an Autistic son and since I moved to Nevada from Pennsylvania 3 yrs ago, I have been totally appalled at the lack of services and funding available to him !!!
My grandson has Asberger's and he jolly well needs the support of this state to keep him in private school as he cannot function in public school. Please help us!!
As the mother of an autistic child, I know from first-hand experience that Jim Gibbons continues to cut government aid to those with autism and with mental illnesses. He is hurting some of the most defenseless people in our society.

The govener has appointed people that are far more for ranching than wildlife on the wildlife commision as spotsmen it is wrong in so many ways. Brandon Fordin
If a petition were circulated I would sign it.
As a 71 year old native Nevadan, I am embarrassed to have Jim Gibbons pretending to represent the people of Nevada. Please let me be the first one to sign the petition to have him removed from office.
Yes, I will
By all means, this individual MUST go. He has been totally ineffective as governor of our great state.
He is just making it worst for the people in Nevada and is only helping himself and now we are the laughing stock of Nevada with all his affairs and he has not really done anything good as far as we are concerned.
In spite of the fact that e-mail petitions are not legal, I would be willing to sign. BUT, I would not support Dina Titus, so where would that leave us? Find a better replacement and I would gladly sign. Besides that fact, a recall is a very expensive undertaking for the tax payers.
Not only would I sign a petition, I would circulate one as well!
Get rid of the 2 timing guy, we'd sure be better off!!!!
I would definitely sign a petition. He has been a total disgrace and detriment to the State. He has been there long enough to see that no change is forthcoming, so lets cut our losses and move on.
Yes, I will sign the petition.
LEAVE GRACEFULLY

Governor Jim Gibbons knows NOT how to govern. A sad commentary for someone with the title of "governor". This state THOUGHT it had elected a Republican governor. Instead it got a Libertatian governor whose deepest belief is "government is bad". This man has single-handedly brought our rising state university system to its knees. He has governed as though this was the Nevada of the 1940s, not the Nevada of the 21st century. It is WAY past time to recall this destructive man from office.
yes I will sign the petition
I will sign a petition
Gibbons has lost all credibility with this Native NV Republican!
Yes I will sign a petition
Jim Gibbons is not someone we can trust, he has proved this over and over again
He continues to be an embarrassment to this state and continues to pull shenanigans unbecoming a governor as well as a detriment to the state.
Mr. Gibbons is further demonstrating that he is one of Washington D.C.'s representatives to Nevada by being above the law.
I'll sign a recall petition. This should be done in all seriousness. Aside from the embarassment to the state, from all appearances he has been involved in many illegal activities. He should resign to save further embarassment.
Since I wrote a letter to the Appeal calling for his re-call, why not get the ball rolling.
