Opposition to Recall Will Ask Bush to Step In

A new coalition has formed to fight the effort to recall Governor Davis and will call on President Bush to take steps to stop it.

The “Stand for California Coalition” is composed of labor unions, civil rights organizations, church groups and some business leaders. They say the recall will further damage the state´s weak economy and worsen its budget crisis.

The coalition plans to use President Bush´s scheduled visit to California tomorrow to formally ask him to halt the recall effort.
