Q: In California, can residents get Gavin Newsome to stop enacting laws that negatively affect the state?
Newsome has intentionally taken the voting rights away from residents by signing executive orders on issues that negatively affect residents in BIG WAYS. The rights of residents to vote, basically removing the only way residents can have that voice heard. He needs to be stopped and the residents given the rights back that have been stolen right in front of us who live here unable to flee the destruction by a self appointed ruler.
A:
Is this a serious question or are you just ranting about your disagreement with actions by the Legislature and the Governor? First, he was not "self appointed" he was elected by a majority of the California Voters that actually voted in the last election. Next, he can only sign into law the laws passed by the Legislature or enact executive orders within his granted powers, subject to the review by the Courts. (three branches of government, remember 8th grade?). The Gov. has not enacted any laws taking away voter's rights that have been upheld by the Court and your comment is the first I have heard that someone claims he has. IMO he wants as many people to vote in the next election, as possible. So to directly answer your question, you can file a lawsuit contesting any action by the Gov. that personally affects you if you want to put up the $250,000 to retain an attorney to file and pursue the case for you. There are a lot of attorneys in SF and SAC who would be pleased to do it for you. Call one up.
