Total recall

How grassroots conservatives used the Internet and talk radio in the first successful drive to force a recall vote of a California governor | Lynn Vincent

TWO EGGS OVER-MEDIUM, bacon, tomato slices, and over a million voter signatures. That's what Howard Kaloogian enjoyed for breakfast at Coco's Bakery Restaurant off Interstate 15 in Escondido, Calif.
