I know this is SkepticalRaptor's territory. I saw this in a tweet late tonight (thank you @hrana) and wanted to get the word out.
SB277 update: Vaccine law opponents cleared to start recall of State Senator Richard Pan
The California secretary of state says advocates can begin collecting signatures in Sacramento and Yolo counties for the recall of state Sen. Richard Pan.
In response, Pan has joined with supporters of the law to form a group fighting the recall. The group is organized as a candidate-controlled political committee under state law.
The Sacramento Democrat and pediatrician led the drive this year to make vaccinations mandatory for nearly all California schoolchildren. Pan's bill, SB277, drew thousands of protesters to rallies at the state Capitol, but it eventually passed. Gov. Jerry Brown signed it into law in June.
The Sacramento Bee reports that proponents will need nearly 36,000 signatures from registered voters in Pan's district by Dec. 31 for the recall to proceed.
This is a long-ish process, as it should be. We need to stay on top of it and help this man out.
As a bonus, there are anti-vax comments included in the story, and the comments to this article are on the crazy side.
This diarist assumes that pro-vax is pro-science and that dailiykos.com is a progressive community embracing pro-science.
I would love a link to the PAC supporting Dr. Pan if anyone knows it.
